My Stradale Is Here!

Just a quick few snaps of my Stradale which I got on New Year's eve. It was a bit of a wait as it took time to come up from storage at Maserati in Slough where it had a clutch change, and then up to Marshall Peterborough who were my supplying dealer. They MOT'ed it and gave it a second service followed by some paint correction to a few stone chips on the bonnet & nose plus a few around the rear arches. The whole body was then machine polished and it really does look as good as new.

It is Grigio Granito with a nero interior & contrasting Grigio Ghiaccio stitching. It has the carbon exterior package which is the mirrors, door handles & boot spoiler and in the interior it has carbon sill plates, instrument surrounds, paddles, centre console and gear actuator surround. I was fortunate that it is so well spec'ed, and it is only really missing the Bose and the comfort pack. But having had both of these on my GTS before, I never used the seat pre-sets as I am the only one driving it and the standard stereo doesn't sound any different to the Bose if I'm honest. Front sensors would have been nice but they're not available on the Strad - a weight saving measure apparently!

Bloody lovely - Exactly the Spec I would have gone for.
Let me know if you move on to the aventador and I would offer it a good home :)
Glad to see your drive is like mine!

Lovely lovely lovely. The colour is what I would have gone for as well.

Bizarrely the only thing putting me off a Strad is the lack of front sensors! I wouldn't survive without them in London.
