Full service due now & will be completed prior to sale + fresh MOT will be put on

Something to know:
Some of these cars up to a certain engine number suffer from a well documented Variator issue. This has been addressed preemptively by Shiltech, a specialist. Look for this if you are buying one of these cars, check the engine number and don't take the sellers word for it, it is a very costly fix

Maintenance outside of service:
All discs, pads and handbrake shoes have been replaced less than 3000 miles ago. All tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S and are all brand new

Upgrades:
The car has a Larini X-Pipe exhaust which is absolutely epic, the car has a very similar engine to the Ferrari 430 and the sound can only be described as incredible, easily the best sounding car I have ever heard.
I have spent £3500 upgrading the truly terrible radio / sound system. The original system had an unusable nav and no way of connecting an iPod, MP3 player, phone, no Bluetooth etc. I took the car to Auto-Audio in Park Royal (which was jammed full of Aventadors and Ferraris etc) and they installed a Pioneer F88DAB head unit in a bespoke grille which has a 7" screen, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, Bluetooth, inbuilt navigation etc. They installed a reversing camera which is needed as the car is large. Also Morel component speakers front and Morel Coaxial speakers rear, with all the sound deadening in the doors etc, plus a very tasty Genesys amplifier running it. Cost was painful but it sounds incredible and the functionality is great.

Always happy to talk over with any interested parties, show you round the car, or take you out as a passenger. 07775 444439.

Sit tight as they just aren't selling quickly. Not just Maserati lots of V8's are sitting around. Yours looks a particularly good example at a good price and with the work done should appeal rather than some of the unloved stuff about at this price. Good luck.

Had a quick look on eBay and AutoTrader last night. More to see what's going on in the market. Tripped over your ad when browsing here tonight.
IMO your car is the best value I've seen this year.(at least) Ticks all the boxes.
There's literally nothing to do, to make the car better.
If you put it on AutoTrader, it ought to move quickly. I'd not take less than your asking price either. You've spent a lot of money putting in the obvious upgrades to the exhaust and ICE saving a new owner much time and money. Maybe price everything you've done in your ownership and a buyer may be more inclined to pay your asking price.
Anyone haggling hard, given all you've done, would have to have a real brass neck ;)
If your car had been advertised a year ago, before I bought mine. I'd have bitten your arm off, up to the shoulder. No joke.
My ten cents ;)

Agreed about the great value this represent. This is probably the most sensible value on a 4.2 - and contingo’s for best 4.7 value out there

Saw this on AutoTrader and was loving the upgrades. If this was black I'd have been up the M23 so fast it'd make your head spin!
