I finally dared to pull the trigger a week ago and bought my first ever Maserati from Italy, a QP V8 Evo with Autobox from 1999 with under 60k km on the clock. I haven't seen her yet as she is at the moment coming home on a truck. Needs a cambelt change since last time is 9y ago, a new windshield and a fresh service. Can't wait to get behind the wheel.

BR,
Ake

Congratulations Ake, the nervous wait for your new car to arrive home is always an interesting time. Looking forward to reading how you get on when she arrives and do let us see some photos.

Welcome to the forum and to Maserati ownership.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Pictures will come as soon as I get it home. Will problably take a week or two until it is home as it will need some service first (cambelt etc.). With current weather it would be very sideways as we have a couple of inches of fresh snow from yeasterday. It will be fun as my last rear wheel drive was an Alfa 75 which hasn't been in use for some 8y, after that only fwd Alfas.

BR,
Ake

Here are some photos of the new purchase. And yes, I managed to get her sideways on my first very short testdrive. 10y old tires didn't have that much grip. Now in for the 60k km service and a cambelt change as it is 8 years since last change. Can't wait to get her on the road.

No, there are relatively few of them around. I was told by my tireshop that there are 3 QP IV V8:s on the road in Finland so mine is number 4. We have pretty high taxation on cars so that is the reason why luxury cars are quite few here. She will get a full treatment to keep her rust free also in the future, underside is completely rustfree not a single spot of the brown stuff!
