... can't take credit for spotting this, but I'm surprised it hasn't come up in the forums yet! Check out this beauty: https://www.richardgracecars.co.uk/for-sale/maserati-quattroporte-sport-gts/394

Particularly jealous of the carbon fibre shift paddles and instrument pods, and the rear heated seats. Also I don't think I've seen another QPV with the 'MC Line pedals'... plenty of QP GTS' with the aluminium brake and go pedals, but these aren't the same as the coveted MC ones. Oh, and the interior handles aren't (or haven't yet) delaminated!

Personally I'm not a massive fan of the brown seatbelts... but in the words of the infamous Jeremy Clarkson, that's a bit like getting in to bed with a supermodel, and saying she has slightly unruly pubes... :D I can't imagine she'll be around for sale long. The car that is.

Does look nice for sure. Keeping my eye out and it is on the list but just can't justify twice the price of my XJL SuperSport.

Love the colour combo. Agree the brown seatbelts are not to my personal taste and black or cream would be to my preference.

Nice longer paddles too. Are these stock or upgraded?

If it were mine I'd be going grey on the alloys rather than the silver but again just personal preference.

No variator issues as a later car and not much to dislike on this one. Maybe mileage a bit higher than some others but these cars will do double that and way more in their stride IMHO.

If the price was the same as the XJL it would be a tough call. The XJL is massively faster but that is not what these cars are about. The QPV is a better drivers car than the XJL.

that really does look beautiful. looks brand new. can't even see a scratch or a door ding. good thing I don't live in the UK anymore, I'd need a huge garage (and a real job!)

Also saw it when it came up for sale...Looks lovely but too rich for me.....But then a standard one is too rich for me these days :(......They are so rare you can control the market depending on how many are for sale. At the moment there looks like two and both priced around the same. Massive gap between the cheapest and top of the price range though.....and they can be a money pit as well so at least with Dicky's you know it will be a very sorted car.

The only real difference are the seats (look a bit more padded than my old QP), the seat belts and it has carbon fibre dash/ inserts while mine were piano black. Mileage and condition are about the same, but my QP was registered Nov 2009 so this QP is c.3 years younger. I eventually sold my QP for £15.3k after 6 months of trying.

...which makes 2x on price for 8 years old, not 11 years old, seem a bit steep?

Surely not a GTS at that price? a 4.7S?

No it was a 4.7 S with GTS wheels and front grill which the previous owner had put on the QP at considerable cost. But to look at, it was in stunning condition had full service history and MOT. But irrespective I just couldn't shift it. Finally sold it in February as part of a part ex deal for a 9 month old Merc. But for whatever reason the QPs seem to be just really hard motors to sell irrespective of condition and mileage etc...
