I like that, looks similar to Pibbow's car, same wheels and colour i think.

 

[Andyk]

Pibbows is manual though......It just looks so good in yellow.

 

[GransportFan1]

It certainly does, especially with the dark wheels.

 

[Andyk]

Yep perfect..Wonder how much it will go for.../

Difference in this and the Cup?...a write up in EVO this month in a group test for the Ghibli!

10k?? Depends how bad someone wants it. Yellow will not be to everyones taste, could be a bargain.

 

[Andyk]

Cups are rare and better and cost around 15k to 18k......Cups are just a better sports car this is more of a GT...Cups I believe had a 2 llitre engine and the GT's had 2.8 liltre, but they did build a 2.8 litre Cup before the 2 litre but don't believe there was many in fact could only be 1 or 2 in the country. Harry Metcalfe had a long term 2.8 in EVO and then a 2 litre Cup ....They go from 9k to around 13k maybe........Then there is the first Ghibli which can be had for around 6k if your brave or 4/5k if you are a nutter.....Don't mind this one thats been fro sale for an age...Started off at 9k I think.

Not keen on that one Andy but like you say, been for sale for a while, if i was buying a Ghibli i would want the Cup.

 

[Andyk]

10k difference though Adam..So if car is straight could be a cheaper way of getting into Maserati ownership...

 

[GransportFan1]

Yeah, would rather that than a Bi Turbo.

 

[Andyk]

God yes.......a little more reliable I would say...

 

[GransportFan1]

I saw a Bi Turbo on Ebay the other week, 2k, had done 89k miles, 2k seems too cheap.

 

[Andyk]

They are...I liked then in Coupe form and Spyder but early ones are not good.

 

[Pibbow]

Morning chaps.

This car is either a series 1 or a gt that has had both front headlights changed! I would say it's a series 1 with the trident and maserati logo on the boot lid. Also think the black bonet vents look ****.

Just my opinion though.

[GransportFan1]
