Remember this was discussed a few months ago. The interior always dI died opinion. It left their web site so thought it had sold but clearly not. But I think what has happened is that they have toned down the red inside by retrimming the red on the dash and centre console in black alcantara. Now I liked it before with its graphics and bright red paint but now I think it looks even better inside. Sure red badges and graphics will still divide opinion.

Red badges look awful, the presence though of a red strad is indeed imposing. I've not had too much experience with leather, but indeed had a "light-bulb" moment when discovering that coloured leather is basically a painted hide! In that sense, darkening the red to black, is really not that hard. I'm make stuff up a little here. But that red interior would not put me off.

Yes, moving in the right direction.
Next they need to correct the badges and see to the door cards and they'll be on the right lines!
The paintwork however looks stunning

Are the door cards leather or fake.....How easy would they be to change colour as you would have to do the back as well ?

Weirdly I think it’d look better if the seats were all red. I quite like the GT with red seats.

This reminds me of the two guys mincing down Rodeo Drive in Beverley Hills Cop

Agree... the door cards look odd now against the dash

I do get the red badge but the only thing for me is that there isn't a bit of chrome on the car so can see why they did it.

I would have thought the easiest way would be to swap them out for another set of black ones. They are not unique to a Stradale and there are plenty being dismantled

Still too much red inside for my taste, I would lose the red exterior badges. I quite like the graphics though and as a car, it does look stunning in red.

This car apparantly was imported from Singapore--- a source of cheap exotics--- and allegedly has no early history or service book. Which totally put me off.

Look lovely to my eyes, though agree the Red Trident would be repainted if i could afford such a car. Interestingly, they state in the advert it has full Maserati service history.......

This is a reputable dealer near me but I do think he will get burned with this spec. I wouldn't want that much red.

Really, doesn't mention any of that. This would put lots off......

It does and Chris says they are a reputable dealer so why would they not tell the truth. Unless it's a little white lie.

Put the trident and the rear badge back to chrome, change the door cards and I'd have it.

If I had the cash of course.

Ever wonder why the include this language in the ad: "although we try our best to make our advert descriptions as accurate as possible some errors may still occur"

To try and cover themselves, even when dealers are in the right muppets come along and try and sue them afterwards. Stanley Mann’s court case and subsequent appeal was a prime example
