A starter Maserati for young Adam.....

[Parisien]

Well, you never know....even if it aint a runner......could always strip it for parts and get to know how they made the car!!!


Ok, you'll have to push it back from Italy.....but you're a fit young man!!!

PS Am assuming its a non-runner from the pics and price!

 

[Parisien]

Then again...............best to go for a runner locally.................what are the biturbos prices like......are they a loved car?

Would it be worth more for scrap...Surely parts are not available for these..Strip it sell the bits...Maybe.

Definately worth it for scrap , the headlights run out between £500-£1000 a pair over here , bits for these are getting rarer by the month , one for David Askew i think

Quick Adam.....................raid the piggy bank.......your trust fund which you are only supposed to access when you're 18...quick...quick.....beat David Askew to this money making car!!!!

Come on Adam...your chance to live the dream....sort of....for maybe under a grand if you are canny enough.

i dont fancy it to be honest, i want to save up my money and get a real special Maserati, i wouldn't mind Dave's Yellow 4200, i bet there aren't many in that colour in the U.K? i think there was one on pistonheads earlier in the year for about 17K cant remember the miles.

Your right there of course Andy , even sitting in a 20 year old BI Turbo you get that sense of awe and nostalgia , tho by the time poor Adam Can afford the Insurance a good 3200/4200 should be well within his grasp , providing the student loan repayments aren't too high

This 4200 takes my fancy.

That look very similar to Custards old car , if it is , it was rather badly repaired after a donk on the nearside front wing , easily checkable , when your 25 Adam 4200 will be sub 10K , GS wil be starting £15K onwards , well thats my guestimate

Stop showing the side profile of Pats car, it makes me go all uneccassary...God that looks good lowered.

be interesting to see how long it takes to sell, it is a love or hate colour it was a bit like the yellow F50 Tom Harley had in about 3 weeks ago, the car was only for sale for about 4 days and he sold it, 7500 miles, £400K.

you dont mean £400k surely not!!

 

[GransportFan1]

Yep, he sold it that quick he didn't even manage to put the pictures on the website. The only reason i can think of that it sold for 400K is that only 31 F50's were made in yellow and i think there is only like 1 or 2 in yellow in the U.K.

 

[dem maser]

would not spend that on that car, no way

 

[GransportFan1]

well a mint red one is about 375K but as i you know, i am in love with Yellow so i think if i won the Euro Millions then i would but if i had just 400K to spend, i would buy more than one car, something like this.

Granturismo S MC- everyday car (100K)
360 CS- track day car (80K)
Murcielago- always wanted one (90K)
355- last pretty Ferrari made and the first car that got me interested in cars (50K)
Golf GTI- car that you dont mind leaving in lower parts of town and a shopping car (25K)
Maserati Gransport Coupe in Yellow- dont have to explain why, you just know (40K)
Total=385K

 

[Parisien]

Ok Adam......this is more like it............the above mentioned cars in your last post are pipe dreams....................for some time........


This one.......a Maserati...coupe.........just 50 miles from you...........ultra cheap....and your fav colour....YELLOW!!!!!!!

Can't say better than that......spend a few years commissioning it...fettling it..........etc........et voila...............you're a full blown, dyed in the wool, fully paid up member of the most exclusive motoring fraternity in the UK......a Maseratisti!!!!

Adam...Thats the one mate....That would be so cool for a 17 year ols....Yellow and red leather....Get it mate it really must be the coolest first car for a 17 year old ever.

Question...Loz tells us that a GS/4200/QP engine could be had for 2.5k...Heres a thought...would it fit in that Biturbo? Adam imagine that.
