The QP V is hard to beat, and I’d take it over a QP VI. Why not just upgrade to the very best and most immaculate QP V you can find?

I just loved your old QP Ewan, the colour was just amazing!

What happened to it?

Your welcome to come have a look and a drive of my XJL SuperSport. It is in a very similar vein to the QPV IMHO. Certainly a close and similar option to a QPV.

Been busy trying to find something to replace my QPV with... there is literally nothing I would rather have!

Every time I step out of the house, walk up to the car in a car park or turn up anywhere, I just love it! The shape, it's presence, exclusivity, even it's build quality! (and to be honest, the feeling of being a little better than everyone else!!)

Everything I've looked at falls so far short... even newer Maserati! What's with doors on cars! Every car I've looked at requires me to heave on some sort of lever! Where is the electric button?!

A 5 series and A6 are both perfectly reasonable cars... but they are awful! I closed the door on a new 5 and thought the opposite one was going to fall off! The interiors while 'nice' just lack any personality!

The A8 is pretty much the car I've settled on... inside it's bursting with toys, but outside... it's just another German box...

I know the Masser is a step up from those cars... but it is, in essence 15 years older... so should have been surpassed by now, but it isn't!

That brand has broken me for anything sensible!!! So I'm back to Ghiblis... I just can't quite stretch to the QP6 that I want... I just don't think I would feel comfortable looking out the window and not seeing a Maserati in the drive!

Ferrari FF to QP V Sport GT S ......enough said?

I might have a look at the GTC Lusso ....but it’s design is still a bit challenging for me compared to the beautiful lines of the Maser

I know it's been discussed on another thread, but for me the best QP (either V or VI) currently on the market is this one, it's just a shame that the dealer is being very greedy on the price:


Go haggle - hard!

The wood just looks wrong....... and it ain’t a GTS so will forever be lacking the “je ne sais quoi”

It looks a bit bleached out by the lighting/flash, although a matching steering wheel helps:

A GTS would be the icing on the cake - if you could find one as nice as the advertised car.

Had a few 4.7 QP’s in the workshop and they are lovely things.

Up to the 4.7 and stick with the brand?

Richard Grace has just sourced me a QPV GTS. Cannot wait to pick up in a week or so - will post some pics when it’s out of the detailing

My old QPV, although I can’t quite make sense of some of the suggested history or where they spent the £12k......

Yup, that's my plan when the Premium Bonds finally pay out.

It is fab. I just wish it was 2012, not 2009.

The car has had the variators upgraded and is mint throughout. There’s nowadays a marked difference between pre/post 148697 car prices so a 2012 would be around £10k more than an 09. Roughly £5k for age, £5k for later engine.

here’s Richard and a few pics of the car - bought it unseen but could not be more delighted with it. The car and also the service from Richard is just excellent

A GTS with a light-coloured interior - hard to find and very nice! Well done Phillip and Richard!
