I saw that, breaker got to buy it at that money. But if needs a clutch and new subframe then prob needs 7-8 k spending so a 12k car, then you'd get a gts in good nick. If it doesn't need a clutch and subframe then such a bargain!

Sorry I didn't get that far with the enquiry, once I knew about the headlining I asked no further questions.

Depends what you are wanting, or if you are willing to put work into it, there are only around 25 of these in the country so supply in spec is pretty limited, I'm surprised there are as many as 3 for sale currently.

Hi really hope u catch a break soon longer, tbh I had my 3200 3 years and only spent on servicing and no breakdowns, no disks and pad.
Qp had disks and pads, wheel sensor, odd coolant pipe blew ( driver side at side of engine), boot lock gone, passenger rear door lock. So would say my 3200 been more reliable

Hi all, newbie here.

Have a 456GT, but now have three kids instead of two, and suspect it would be sensible to move it on for something we can enjoy as a family (the reason for selling a two-seat sportscar for the 456GT in the first place, pre child No3.

And so QPVs have long had my attention as something practical - but not boring - to replace with. The above caught my eye, because lurking on here and various other parts of the internet it seems the Sport GT S is the one to have... but I wanted to check if this was a genuine Sport GT S (have seen a few advertised as such but clearly not) and what people's opinions are of this particular one. Seems like a decent price, even with the sagging headliner mentioned by a poster above (I'm assuming this needs a pro retrim job).

Anyway, any info or advice you have on the above car, or others, would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just be aware that there is a pre-facelift Sport GT S with a 4.2L ZF (2007/2008) - not to be confused with the Sport GT, which is a standard car with either F1 gearbox or ZF with a couple of “sporty” options - and a facelift Sport GT S with a 4.7L ZF (somewhere in 2008 onwards). The latter is worth quite a bit more and what most people mean when they talk about a Sport GT S so don’t confuse the two (or three…or four….it’s Italian, it’s complicated…)

I also went from a 456GT to a QPV. Both Montezemolo years, both pininfarina designs aiming to be beautiful.

They are old cars and need attention. Engines are strong, but as with Italian made cars, some peripheral parts struggle.

I would say on balance the QPV been built in higher numbers is probably better shorted and it shows as you see cars with >100k miles around.

From a driving perspective a well set up QPV is very similar to the 456, both fairly heavy but rear wheel biased.
