As i live in Spain, thought a lhd would be apt. But currently drive a rhd car here, with no problems. Wondering where to seek a lhd Maser?
Noticed Shiltech, have a immaculate Grey 4200 manual for sale. Looks the dogs bo***cks! Wife and I though, love our blues. Deeper the blue, the better!

Depends on whether or not your going to register in Spain ( road taxes reg fees etc...much higher than UK?)......or keep out there less than 6 mths of year?

Always one or two appear but rarely, there are specialist LHD dealers in UK you could ask, but suspect if you buy on Continent price will be quite a bit higher though not near as bad now due to euro weakness

Very few LHD Maserati in the UK, and given that they hold their value better in Europe it would sell for more in the LHD Countries.

Did think of importing one, from USA. Got a very cheap quote, for shipping. LHD of course. Even a damage one, would not be out of the question.

It largely depends on what your budget, how much usage, how long you're going to keep it for and where

Again, i can do some of the servicing etc, but at some point, will need a specialist. What i have seen, so far in Spain, would not trust many! Must be specialists here, but I bet, a good journey, away.
I would want to keep it awhile, but my mileage, would be low, yearly.
Currently, got 2 cars here, in Spain. One is a Jeep Grand Cherokee, to pull a caravan. Yes, don't ask!! But other, i want to px. Suppose, it means driving back to Blighty, and do some test drives.
Budget, around £15k. Will pay more, for right car. Think, i might scrape a 2004 model 4200 CC

Andy I have looked after my 4200 cc for 2 years no problems more straightforward than most of the repmobiles out there. Don't see any problems for doing the same with my 456 just smaller bills. Phil.
