Hi everyone,

I can’t believe I’ve only just found this place.

I own a 2008 pre facelift Quattroporte GTS that was my absolute pride and joy and took me over 50,000miles covering the NC500 over 4 days! down to the south of France a couple of times, 3 laps of the ring and my favorite a 16 hour drive over to the transfagarasan mountain road in Romania.

Unfortunately around 8 months ago the car fell into a divorce dispute and was parked up and had fallen into a sorry state and refused to start and the paint was vandalised and it appears a window regulator has gone bad on the nsr.

I’m extremely happy to say the old girl is currently sat with SportsItalia receiving in the first instance a new ECU to get her running and will over the coming months be receiving a full repaint!

Full service, rocker covers refinished in red, wheel refurb, brake overhaul and a suspension refresh!

Then many more memories can can made and many many more miles enjoyed.

Just wanted to say hi and I’m sure I will find the forums an enjoyable place

You can't buy great memories and you can't create more without getting it fixed! Admire your tenacity but, as we all know here, Maseratis are worth it!!

I'll say 'hello' to her when I'm dropping mine off for it's annual service/MOT (and hopefully no more than sorting the squeeky ?bushes, rattling driver's door and minor oil leak) on Thursday

A bitter divorce dispute? Well, it sounds like you hung onto the correct pride and joy. Well done, Matt, and welcome.

Awesome she is looking very sorry for herself so say hello and cheer her up I felt very emotional when I finally saw her after month of her not being with me knowing in that time she was vandalised

Welcome and look forward to some pics once back to its full glory. That’s a fairly rare model with only a few months production
