After a few weeks of discussions with Maserati GB and my local MD Marshall Peterborough, I am very pleased to be able to reveal that my next Maserati will soon be in my garage.
It is this beauty, a 2013 Stradale finished in Grigio Granito with a nero interior and lots of carbon options. Without the number plate you may not recognise it, but is the Maserati GB press car which they have now decided to de-fleet. Many of you will have it seen at various launch events, Goodwood FOS and featured in a number of print and online magazines. The registration has been V8MTY up until recently and prior to that, the original registration which will be going back on which is RV63NGZ. When I last saw the car at the GT championship race at Silverstone in the summer, I took a chance and contacted Maserati GB and asked them when they intended to sell off the car as it would be turning 3 years of age in October and to my delight, they said it would be de-fleeted at the end of year and they ear marked the car for me, provided I could work out a deal with one of the dealers as they are not set up to sell directly to the public. I chose Marshall and they have been taking care of everything since.
It has been very well looked after and they assure me that the journalists have not ragged it too much! It has covered a few miles (21k) but I am pleased to be owning a car with such provenance. It had covered 12,500 miles by early 2015 & received it's first service so with 2 years having almost passed, Marshall are now carrying out the major second service and it has just have a new clutch too which is a bonus. The bodyshop are taking care of a few stone chips on the front, and then it will be ready to collect in the next week or two - I can't wait!

. I do recall seeing this car a couple of times and for me this would be the GT to have.
