Ghibli Cup; useful website

[GransportFan1]

Pete a Cup Evo, was drooling at one of those earlier on Enrico's site. That is a fantastic website of his, amazing documents and info on there, he even has a register for the Barchetta's, only 17 built. A true enthusiast.

Adam that car has been for sale for two years. I was going to look at it but some body on MF had it inspected and aparently the list of issues was very long including some issues with service history.

Henry is a top Guy he is the man when it comes to Ghibli 11's

 

[GransportFan1]

didn't realise it had been for sale that long, i know it has been on P'heads for an age. Where did you manage to source your Ghibli?? As they dont come up for sale often.

Mine had been for sale on and off for about a year.A guy picked it up while looking for an M5! after a few months took it back to the dealer and traded it in for the said BMW. I looked at the 5 cars including 2 cups for sale at the time and although not perfect it ticked the most boxes and an inspection at BM got me a good discount.

The whole tale is on the other side if you care to search.

Ah right, i will have a gander tomorrow, what is the shade of yellow on yours?? It looks different to the Cup yellow.

 

[Pibbow]

Mine is the Open cup Giallo Sprint colour. Very loud!

 

[GransportFan1]

Very loud but very nice, look forward to seeing it at Stanford.

Is that the one with the 3200 wheels......I looked at it and thought it needed the Cup wheels.

 

[Andyk]

15k for a Cup? I that good value or not?? There was a Red one for sale a few months at about 16/17k, took a while to sell, are these cars hard to value??

There is a dark Red Ghibli GT II on P'heads, 16k(i think) although it has been for sale for a while

Yep thats been for sale foe an age.......They will struggle at that price Adam as you can get a Cup for that money....

Here is the Ghibli Cup
http://www.maseraticlub.co.uk/nineties.htm

Looks quite nice, side bolster looks worn in the picture, looks heavily cracked and that wood would have to go or cover it in leather. Does not say how many miles it has done, i would guess around 65k-75k.

3200 wheels just dont look good on a Ghibli i think, the Ghibli GT II wheels are one of Maserati's nicest wheels IMO.

that's a curious car...

non standard gear knob and wooden dash inserts...

quite a bit of oil sweat on the drivers side cam cover...

That car belongs to Mark Curtis it's a very nice car but the pic's are from his phone. I hope to look at it next Saturday evening time allowing, It has a FULL Meridien service history and the speedlines are included in the sale although they need a refurb. It's done around 45k.

 

[GransportFan1]

Full Meridien service history is encouraging, Pete, you looking at buying this Ghibli Cup at Autoshield??

Yep Jim like a couple of Cups it has wooden dash inserts this was available as special order.

As I said it needs a bit of TLC although it has just gone back up for sale It's been available for 18 months at least. It's MUCH Cleaner than when I looked at it in November 2009.

I'm looking at Marks "3200 wheels" car Adam that is not for sale via Autoshield.

The Azzure blue ones with Marios, as I said I've seen it and with miles and condition that I saw it in needs to be cheeper to justify interior restoration & a couple of bits of body work. Mechanically it seems fine. Marios has maintained it for the owner regardless of cost it's had new supension allround as well as many other bits.

Also what i noticed, are the seats different on this Cup? I thought the Cup came with Recaro style sport seats?

No mate just a couple have those again special order, no longer available. I know of one rhd car with those it's rosso maserati with nero.

 

[GransportFan1]

That is a shame you cant get those Recaro's anymore. They look similar to the Clio 182 Trophy and E30 M3 seats.
