That does look nice, particularly like the interior......which is unusual for a GS for me I have to say....I'll get my coat.

Seller seems to have a good reputation for nice cars.
Sells a lot of Astons and bentleys.

Bought my Beemer from him three years ago or so, great guy, a real enthusiast, wouldn't hesitate to use him again. haven't seen this one in the flesh but his cars were all mint whenever i have seen them.

Outrun has said in the past he was impressed with him.

too much sliver for me, but looks like a great example.

We've a lovely silver GS in at the end of the week, immaculate car. It's done 44k miles and will be £27250.

Silver is one of the best GS colours for me. It shows the design lines far better than some of the other colours. There's a lot of subtle detail going on which is lost on the wrong colour.

I am sure you are right, i just object to the number of silver cars on the roads, because the stats say they retain value better, so people buy more of them and suddenly you have to buy silver because that's where the sheep go. Never had a silver car ever, I may be odd however!

I agree when it comes to a Merc or Audi of which there are oodles of silver cars around. But when you think of bespoke vehicle design, the design team will often craft their design study models in clay to start, then cover them in chrome plating which allows them to see, alter and develop all of the design features. I like the idea that silver is showing the design as Guigaro's team intended. Just as a quick example Davy, here is a silver Cayman S and a black Cayman S. Look how much detail is lost on the black car in this case.

I have to agree re Silver. I don't like black, other's love it. It is all personal, but having had 2 Grigio Touring Maserati's, when cleaned, clayed and with several coats of Harley's they look amazing.

I suspect it's as much the other way. Silver holds value and there are more of them on the roads because people like it....

Silver for me is great and on the 3200 it is awesome as it really shows the profile and accentuates the Boomerangs. It was also the launch colour, classic Maserati's have the Silver exterior and Blue interior.

Agreed that's a lovely car in that colour.

This one looks rather interesting... it may be about to show itself on the forum.

 

[chippiepilot]

I have seen Mowats before- as mentioned all his cars are in very good condition. This is the Gransport I would go for if I was in the market for one - this is where I found my 3200 for sale

[flexwing]

A cautionary note, is that I bought a 996 a couple of years ago from a chap who had recently acquired the car from Mowats and it had a number of fairly well known faults.
I'm sure he's fine but you will absolutely need a pre purchase check from somewhere like PK Supercars up the road.

Would be worth a call to Phil at PK to see if he knows the car if interested.
