Evo Turbo June issue

[Pibbow]

A short but very positive write up on the Ghibli cup, the whole issue is well worth a read.

Yep its a good one..Did post about it a few weeks ago...Greta issue.......

 

[Pibbow]

Ahhh you see I only get to buy it when I'm in Glasgow always last to pic up on things!!

Its a good article Pibbow.....The fact they can not pick a winner and say that any of the cars will brighten you day is great....I do love a CUP...a car that started to put Maserati back on the map....

in 3 years time when hopefully i have earned a good amount of money and want a weekend car, i really would consider the classic route and buy a Ghibli Cup for about 16k. Such a special Maserati.

Spent a lot of last year agonizing over whether to get a Ghibli Cup. A stunning car with so much presence.

I just love them, looks, sound, Turbo's, Manual gearbox and exclusivity, bad thing is as they are so rare, most owners will want more than what they are worth as they are so rare.

What stopped you MS......?

Hello everybody!

hmm..- that's the question; "what are they worth"...?

Relative to they're serviceability... It's great having something rare- less great if it's going to be write-off through a bad parking knock!

Mind you, you could say that about alot of cars here...

(Do I come across as quite pessimistic?!!)

The last few Ghibli Cups I've seen for sale have been around 17k....Probably didn't sell for that....Still they haven't dropped in money for a number of years....Love them..

I would love to drive one in the future just to see what they are like, Evo certainly rated it in the Turbo issue.

 

[ZAM400209]

yes- they seem to defy the depreceation to a degree;

you can certainly buy a much newer 3200GT and 4200 Coupes for less money...

 

[GransportFan1]

Given the choice of 3200, 4200 or Ghibli Cup, i would take the Ghibli Cup every time.

They do love the Ghibli Cup Adam....Thinks its because Harry had one back in Performance car and early EVO days so they had a good year to understand how great the car was.....

I think it's quite refreshing to see what is quite a mainstream "thinking man's" petrolheads mag, take a good slant on something from the Biturbo era-

8 out of 10 car "enthusiasts" believe the Top Gear version of reality in my experience (skips dropped onto cars and such) and it's nice to have a more balanced take on things...

I must be the other 2 then......Top Gear is entertainment not a car programme..

 

[ZAM400209]

I'd say that's a very accurate statement...
