GranTurismo S- Wanted

[bigbadwedge400]

Hi All, have been lurking here for a while! After having a 222SE a few years back, always fancied another Maserati.

Looking for a 4.7S and really open on spec to get the right car but my vision is a white car! Will be my daily (I do limited miles) so ZF might be the best option but i am very open for a MC Shift (driven both a 4.2 and a 4.7 MC and loved both boxes for their individual character!) and ideally want to spend 30K tops.

In absolutely no rush but ready to move for the right car.

I'm selling my wonderful Bentley Turbo R which we use a lot as a fun car the family can enjoy together. I don't need to sell the Turbo R first but asking in case this happens to be on someone's wish list!

Hi I have a 4.2 after 23k just had all suspension bushes replaced full gearbox service with all seals replaced with new and a new battery in exceptional condition.

Budgets are for blowing. Good work...

Updated to say this didn't go through...long story short but inspection wasn't quite as expected and no movement from the trader so back to the drawing board!

Bummer. Hopefully something will come up in the new year when seller numbers pick up again.

@bigbadwedge400 do you know the 4.7 only has a few extra hp.... Unlikely to be noticeable on the road.

Having driven all formats of the GT it really is. I did 35k miles in my 4.2 as too.

True enough but many say the sound is much better. No idea though as mine were both 4.7

What makes the difference for you?

I used to have this discussion with the Porsche club. (About porsches)

Don't they all sound like hairdryers though? The only difference is Tresemme, GHD or the Dyson gt3.

Forgive me, but that was a cockster wasnt it?
I had Hartech rebuild my 996 so I’m not a complete ****.

Depends who's listening...

Still, with a few HP between certain models, it's not noticeable in a road environment.
