I'd say that is the flash on the camera washing out the black and making it appear more like a dark brown.

Agree, it's the flash. Seller has no clue as it is not a 'facelift model' but must surely be a 2011/12 car registered late (stuck in a showroom?). Looks like Rosso Ttionfale to me but I am not sure. Would choose the 14k mile one that Richard Grace had for very little more recently.

Closer inspection, look at the contrast here, still looking brown...

Would this be the later MC sport shift or whatever its called since its a 2013?

These sell a few Maserati.....was going to ask if it as a MC Auto....It has the MC exhaust. The leather is dark grey.....I know this at was advertised else where with black and grey extended leather. Looks like the grey is missing from this advert description. Look at the seats in the back and you can see against the trident black stitching it's that very dark grey Maserati do. Was the MC Auto box only available on the face lift cars ?

Yep, agree looks like that dark grey/brown leather they do. Quite like it with the rosso trionfale exterior.

It certainly looks brown against the definitely black steering wheel. I think I quite like it... or it could feel like being in the 1970s.

In any case, it must be one of the last pre-facelift models.

Agree it's not a facelift but it is a 2012 MY car so could have been built as late as July 2012 so if it's registered in January 2013 then that is not too bad.

I like the colour combi. Someone should snap it up as it looks like one of those rare 4.7 autos that has the Sports Pack. Over time I see that as the most desirable build time for a 4.7 auto as I don't like the Sport nose and the 2011 MY that I have looks too like a 4.2 to most.

Agreed - I think this looks lovely....

I think a dark choc brown leather with white exterior would look like a nice combo. Not an a Strad but I'm sure many it would work on.

In Budapest in July I saw a white GranCabrio with a brown interior, looked really classy and not 70's at all. Risky when speccing it new but they got away with it...
