Nice exterior colour but the black and red interior is not nice. Maybe that's why they don't have many pics of the interior?

I like the interior but then I have the reverse scheme (red with black piping) on my QP which I appreciate is not for everybody.

For anyone waiting for this to go live, Bonhams have told me it will now go live on 23 December. It will be in their special 13 day auction which will run over Christmas.

Excellent. Plenty of opportunities to have too many drinks, tire of one's family and wander off somewhere peaceful to see what's going on in the auctions. Domestic angst is imminent!

I wonder if I can earn kickbacks from divorce lawyers from SM referrals...

Feather your own nest by highlighting top unmissable Christmas auction bargains. But only those that close when the sun is well over the yardarm.

Love the idea of this one and my perfect Strad short of it being a 2 seater preferred over a 4 seater. Very tempting. Can't help feeling I would be going from one garage queen to another though.

The bon hams site not showing anything until 2022, is the 23 December Paris preview?

Who cares. If you can afford it and want it.
You’re a long time dead.
More importantly does it make your balls tingle.

LOL. Nothing makes my balls tingle at the moment but it might.

I have got the money but not sure I should really be spending it here right now. I agree you are a long time dead. We should find out in a few months if building the house project could be possible and if so it will be number one priority. So maybe I should stop looking at torturing myself until the timing is better.

I'm nearly there selling 3 cars but still will need to add a.chunk on top to not drive it too often. Clearly not a sensible option but sometimes we aren't alive to be sensible

When you find the answers let me know

As it’s such stupidly low mileage, it can be used plenty and still be a low mileage car. Key thing is what it sells for, good value in the £70k’s but if it reaches £80k’s, not so in my opinion.

I think you are right too Dicky. As you say at £70k or less it seems decent value but more and I'm less sure.

Shame someone has botched tiny repairs. Painting it is a nightmare as it’s a 3 stage pearl, but it is doable. Id say £1000 paint, £1500 service so all ready for £2500 on top of the purchase price. You can’t put a Maserati warranty on if the original or extended one has expired. Not worth it anyway as year 6-7 is a drivetrain only one.
