That reminds me. When I took my car to Mike R he said that when he went to change the brake pads for the improved EBC RedStuff he saw that much corrosion around the calipers of a white compound that he had to get a dentist size drill out to hack way at it. It took him a fair amount of time to clear it all up and get it sorted! Again just been sat with no use. Also he replaced vacuum hoses which had perished.
Here is a graph to show what it is running since getting fettled with a contactless TB and removing the centre cats.
458.8 out of my old girl when she was approaching 100 k and I'm sure Benny's Spyder got a little more without those whooshing gizmos too.

I recon with a bit of faffing you could get 500bhp out of a 3200 engine

Turn the boost up, maybe a bit of gas. Easily.
But for how long?...

For about 3 minutes and then a 3 hour wait on the (now familiar) hard shoulder.

Another life maybe, but one that should not be forgotten but shared for the enjoyment of others!
Hello Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been on for a while but work has been very busy! I am still yet to see the 3200 in question but have got a guy who will inspect it, Mike from the Maserati Shed. There is another car on my radar, its a 4200 Manual. It is up at 13K from a company called George Kingsley in Essex. Anyone know anything about the car??

Thanks again guys, I must say a manual 3200 with 400brake and similar torque sounds amazing, terrifying, but amazing!

Only if you're selling....not buying......
They just don't have the image or kudos........to warrant higher 2nd hand prices....end of

The 4200 is probably the car I am going towards and I love a manual box. It has been looked after by Giallo and the clutch is fresh. Going to see it Sunday, it is an incredible price. I don't understand how a car like this can be so inexpensive to buy, what else can you get for £12,000 with a derivative of a Ferrari engine.
I am sure at this price there will be bills to come but I am a car enthusiast and it is a great way of getting into a 'Modern' Maserati. I really didn't think I would be able to get into a 4200. If it is a good car I will be doing lots to it over the next year also... but probably best not to get ahead of myself!
