EVO, just out, is also saying now is the time to buy a used Maserati.

Yep, a little bit on that...The rest is pretty boring this month to be honest.....Although I do like the Porsche 918 Spyder..More understated than the Mac and Ferrari but elegant...

Got the mag......not read the articles yet, lots of other Italian stuff too and I do like 2/3 of their contributors, shame there are so many adverts though.

The offer of 5 mags for £5 is very tempting though

Just finished a good long read, some great photos which would be perfect for any Maser Man Den.

I was however interested to read that they have only been making cars for 87 years!??? so does this mean there may be a second centenary in 2027?

A paragraph and a half on the Gran Turismo?!

Hardly worthy of one of the most beautiful Maseratis of all time, surely?! ;-)

In the scope of things.......

According to the blurb, they started making racing cars in 1914, but did not start any production brand cars until some years later..!!

Had a look through in the shop and did think it was worth buying to be honest....

 

[Parisien]

In the scope of things.......

They formed the company in 1914, but only then produced cars some time later.....a long lead in period....

Andy, did, or did'nt think it was worth buying..??
Frank, I think they started on making cars to race according to historical blurb, they probably used old bits of stuff from the war at first, maybe still do..??
