QP 4.7 GTS

[CatmanV2]

Swapping interior is often easier than imagined. Real-world experience stripping my Alfa 166 for spares and selling the complete interior. Even helped the buyer swap the seats into his 166 when he realised there was insufficient room. Only an hour or so. The rest of the trim panels might have taken him days though

I did a 156 interior swap. Was very simple. But far fewer components and airbags....

I would buy it today if it didn't have a funereal black interior.

I think you may be an old man before you get that perfect spec Mark. Buy the red one... be different...don’t follow the herd.....

That's why I bought a silver 360 Modena @Andyk

The current reg is W1 SHL if you want to check MOT history, etc. Looks like brakes need doing soon.

Registration date checks out. How do you do you know that's the previous reg? What's with KY61FMK (which does not seem to come up on Cazana), surely the changes of reg should show up?

I'm already an old man!

Oh dear....Well you know the next stage after old. Do it now Mark.

There’s that Japanese GPV GTS that Image Automotive had with 60 miles on it (or similar) in a similar scheme...

Someone spent a lot of money at Emblem making that QPV GT S less red inside.

If you search KY61FMK, the first (and almost only) hit you get is @Nayf tweeting about it.

Kinda interesting as he does not mention the reg, so it looks as if Twitter is extracting the text from the photo, which is a surprise.

I can understand why.

Though that steering wheel...

I admire the colour (I think it's Rosso Mondiale... Rosso Fuoco is not quite as vibrant?), but it's not one for me (Mrs.Makeshift disagrees however).

It happens to be a half-hour drive away from me... happy to check it out if anyone's seriously considering it.

 

[AbidK]

I asked the question about service history and service internals got a reply/missed call but no answer to the questions posed hate it when they do that.

 

[Andyk]

I struggle with it being a brave colour. I look at it and see one of the best looking QP’s currently for sale in a great colour. You can keep your blacks I would have this over them everyday if the week.

I’ve seen the Rossi Fuoco one that a member on here has and it’s a very deep, metallic, pearl colour. A little bit darker than this car. It’s very lovely.

I love the colour but Mrs has said you come home in that and it’s bye bye

Win win

 

[Ewan]

Are you sure she didn’t say “Please come home in that. Buy! Buy!”?

 

[MarkMas]

Had a quick look, as I was passing! They have had a lot of interest, and have now taken a deposit.

How did you like it in real life, rather than just photos?

that’s not a surprise as it looks stunning. Ah, that’s that dream departed.

It was very red! A sort of bright, primary, cartoon red, of the sort you might see in a cheap toyshop. Nothing like the lush deep metallic red you see, for example, in Mazdas these days. (Someone else knows the correct Maserati colour names) .

Great for making a simple statement, like, "Look at me, you wonkers; I'm in my forking Maserati GT S". But too much for me.

Also the inside seemed like a very dark (fun, but dark) place to be.

Glad I had a look, but not for me.
