Ok so who's was this/anyone going in on this? So far looking cheap for what it is.
All things balanced looks in decent order from the write up.
Any folks here know the car?

2000 MASERATI 3200 GT - MANUAL

This Maserati 3200 GT must be the perfect opportunity for anyone who wants a great value Italian sports coupe with bags of panache.

It was a lovely car when we sold it, I’m pretty confident it still is. I’ve spoken with the current keeper before he put it on CC. It’s been discussed at length:

Already up into 5 figures with 3 days left to go. So looks like it’ll go for a sensible price for the seller. I for one would be pleased to see a good 3200 reach decent money for a change.

Always loved this colour and had considered buying it on two occasions.

I was a previous long term keeper of this car. I was a bit surprised to see it back up for sale with similar miles to when I sold it. I recall the gear knob and stereo surround were replaced by Richard Grace from Avario to Blue after it left but other than that it still looks largely the same.

Whilst I owned it, I had the contactless throttle potentiometer installed, replaced the ABS unit (and asked the workshop to build a cover to prevent future water ingress), replaced thermocouples etc. Going forwards I wanted to address the cracked bonnet vents, rust on the front edge of the bonnet, get the headlights (which were getting a bit of peel) removed, sanded, polished and lacquered. Address the sticky buttons and possibly add the MC carbon seats as I thought the originals offered very little. Ultimately it boiled down to an exit cost vs doing the work with the possibility that I still wanted to sell it and it not changing the value. I think all the above could have been done for about £2-4k excluding the seats.

I'm keen to see what the final bid will be.

Morning all

Just been nudged by a friend to post as the owner of this 3200.

I spoke with EVOeng about this car in early 2016 but got busy/distracted, however from this conversation I knew it was a well sorted example - and it still is. The car passed through Dicky's trusted hands, but it was by chance I saw it pop up again in late 2016 so I bought it there and then.

I want to thank Dicky for our recent conversation, but ultimately I decided I wanted to get the auction experience as a seller for the first time. I have other 'toys' (with no doubt more to follow) and wanted to know first hand how it all works for future reference.

The car will sell on Collecting Cars, but i'm happy to talk to anyone with a genuine interest - just DM me for my number.

Cheers

If anyone wants a 3200 this has to be worth a look....Stunning I a rare colour. Not many about. First time I saw this colour was on a Ghibli Cup and it looked amazing.

Does anyone know where this car went , is it still about ?

I owned it in 2016 and Dicky sold it on for me, not sure what happened thereafter.
