I've heard of some awful experiences relating to them. I imagine that they will no doubt re-appear at the same premises, doing the same things with maybe even the same or very similar name...but expunged of their debts. Who knows.
just like last time apparently.....

Blimey that is a comprehensive listing! I don’t know of another with alcantara either.

I think the Alcantara has been added after , check the stitching on the back seats and the arm rest in the video , honk kong tailors and all that

Spot on there Loz the very low mileage silver one in New Zealand that Emblem were trying to sell a couple of years back along with a similar as new 3200GT were both ex Singapore.
The GS Technocloth just fell apart due to the humidity so Auckland Maserati had it re trimmed with Alcantara and a full respray too.

Yeah even with this one , if you listen to the video , Mr Lee the owner , mentions the laquer peeling from the passenger door , so potentially could be ( dare i say it ) a bit of a future problem car, which would indicate to me a good price reduction of around 20-25% would be fair game to cover the eventuality of potential full respray, Im surprised the dash leather is in such good condition , the humidity normal plays havoc with that aswell ................shame because its got so much going for it

Yeah when I worked for them in NZ we saw plenty of cars from that part of the World always needed work.

I'll go with ( astute devious guy sees) easy way to get out of a finance package

A rather large section of Irish farmers have caught on to the idea but with fire in farming vehicles tractors combines etc , funnily enough nearly always 3/4 months ahead of subsidy pay out month

Thanks for the steer. The H & H 456 looks like a deliberate low estimate to increase interest.
Same as post ^^ my preference would be manual car, with good history and less concerned about total miles.
Yep, low estimate is right. Hammer fell at 31k. I doubt arun will need to drop the price on theirs much if at all based on that.

This crowds out justin banks 412. Different car sure, but hard to ask 50k for a 412, when you can get nice 456 in the mid to high 30s

I do prefer the styling of the 412. I am that guy.

Have you considered the one at Arun?

To be honest, I’m not really looking, I just got sucked in by the excitement of the auction and nearly ended up with it.

I’ve not come across the Arun one, Is Arun a dealership?
