Seeing these photos is making me regret my decision.

I would prefer no comments on price - based on previous experience of others selling.
please look at specifications compared to other similar priced examples.

Some of the Maserati's for sale could achieve more being broken for parts- I can't believe the amount of car you get for your money for some of these..

It is outrageously good value, for sure. And beautiful. Still, onward and upwards!

 

[GeoffCapes]

Ooooh that steering wheel. I'd love one like that.

The Carbon Pack always looks good.

Thanks guys. If this whole episode has taught me one thing - it's that often first gut instincts are right. And I am still yet to be convinced anything pound for pound is anywhere near the GTs.
I am certianly regretting not having it in this weather!
It's been invaluable being on the forum to get opinions and thoughts from a wide range of experienced car nuts. And
Maserati owners certainly stand apart.
Surely a group of like minded guys need to get together and organise a super car club to rotate ownership for those who want a change every so often. Could be a business idea for Dan!

I'm not surprised you are gutted it's gone Stunning mate and makes me love mine ever more. They are a great car and as you say nothing comes close at the price point.

Why do steering wheels have stripes at the top?

Race cars mate so you know when the wheels are straight (dead centre), much more useful on a drift car than a road car

 

[azapa]

your car looks stunning Ian, good luck with the sale. I'd buy it in a flash!

but once you have the itch to change, best go for it!

personally, I still feel little brand loyalty to Maserati, I would describe my loyalty to beautiful, fast, contemporary cars more than anything - not a brand, more an ethos, and I am already projecting my next car will be a F or a Maca.

you can always come back later and buy a nice stradale best of luck

Did yours have them Phil?

Much more useful on a drift car I'd agree. Never had an issue with a road car when I've had issues finding the straight ahead position or thinking....you know I could do with a stripe on my steering wheel.

Interesting how your car has a GTS badge on the back. Is that something you added? Never seen that before.

You added all the alcantara? To the interior as well didn't you?

He does have stripes, but they are in his underpants. (His wife told me!)

Yes- all added plus the Wheel. There was a lot of alcantara already in there- seats, and full headlining and pillars. I just added matching alcantara to door cards, drivers hood, centre console and dash (upper and lower).

Even in standard form the MC shifts are bloody fantastic as we all agree- bit with this personalisation it was just a very special place to be.

I miss it already and I feel a traitor to the brand. I reckon if I lived closer to Phil it would be going nowhere!

Nothing would sound like yours for within about 250k!

I think stradales look awesome- simply the best maserati have to offer. If I was a millionaire it would be a must have in the garage. I just fancy a drop top now. I have always had one and miss that option

Just wait until the Larini's go on it.

A Cali T would be my suggestion as it's the spiritual successor of the 4200. No offence, but the GranCab is a Lardy, impractical tub that doesn't relate to the 4200 (apart from the badge).

They do look good, but the pricing is still pretty steep on the T. Give it a year / 18 months, maybe?
