Many thanks for the welcome. Im seriously impressed with the friendliness and willingness to help of everyone on this platform thus far. I had always set my heart on the full fat 4.7 sport gts but as everybody knows, they have become a rarity in the classifieds and have held value unlike any other relatively modern maserati I know. Thats not to say if the right one came up I couldnt do some creative man maths and end up with one haha. I was speaking with a chap earlier in the week who has a 4.2 sport gts with the ZF Box said its the one to go for and I am actively trying to persuade him to sell it to me without success as yet. He said the only way he would part with it was if I swapped him for one of our integrales haha. I agree with you there does not seem to be too many for sale at the moment and when they do come up they move fairly quickly. Thanks again for all the help
Most people will tell you that the engine/gearbox/spec level they bought is the best one as it's human nature. The reality is that all versions of the QPV are great so just get what suits you most. Bear in mind that they are a hard sell though like any saloon with a big engine.
