Does anyone know this car?

[Jimbolian]

Previous owner was a bit special, thankfully he did'nt have the car long.. but prior to that there seems to be extensive history, would bee keen to get any more information on the car.

She's currently having the suspension rebuilt at Migilore and then off to get checked on a Jig before a rebuild. Unless the chassis is bent in which case.. if you need any parts let me know. : )

She's a:

2000 3200 GT
Currently on "M4 SBE"

Previous plates are:
9F KC
W376 RJA


Current picture attached, told you it was a project.. or a bad idea. We shall see!

Did you buy this from the guy advertising it on ebay, or has there been someone else inbetween?

 

[Jimbolian]

Nope, i'm the foolish idiot that bought this off eBay albeit at a reduced price.

 

[Fat Arnie]

I think this was for sale pre accident im mid December for around £10k

 

[Andyk]

Hold on I'm confused..Black wheels....Its not the one that we have just been talking about this week........13500 on Autotrader.....Selling in Surrey....

 

[DaveT]

Good luck Jimbo.

 

[drellis]

originally fo sale near me in Bury (3 miles from me), never saw it driving around though.

 

[Jimbolian]

Well, i'll keep you updated on progress!

 

[EVOeng]

I've seen that reg before; I just cannot put my finger on it.

No, it's not an AC.

M4SBE was sold on ebay a few weeks back as a cat c.

 

[Jimbolian]

Unrecorded actually!

And nope, it's not an AC despite the DVLA's records.

Whoops, sorry Jimbolian - was going on what the ebay advert said!

 

[Jimbolian]

That's about the only thing going for it at the moment!

It seems they're not that good with Maserati data.....something silly like 50% of 2006 GranSports are apparently 'Spyders'. Erm...no, they're not, but the DVLA thinks they are!

 

[hodroyd]

The wheels look like AC wheels, but can't tell if they are original colour, or black. Nice project for somebody??

 

[2b1ask1]

Mine (4200 Coupe CC) always come up as a Spyder on insurance and DVLA searches... daft

 

[hodroyd]

That's funny, my 3200 is recorded as a manual, why on earth can't the DVLA get things right?? I have phoned them and asked for them to correct it, but they say I have to send in my V5, what a farce??

 

[Jimbolian]

Yup, AC wheels and they have been resprayed by the previous owner. Will go back to Mercury Grey or Silver once i've sorted everything else.

So far it's been an expensive project not so much of the nice.. hoping the suspension work won't be too eye watering.

 

[hodroyd]

Grigio Mercury 226679 is the correct colour for the AC wheels mate. Best of Luck with it.

Strange.
