I occasionally get an email from a broker – so this car has nothing to do with me – but Elton John's QPV is available. Funny, never saw him as a Maserati chap, more of a LCC Rocket man (/dies)

If that doesn't work here's the blurb

This exceptional Quattroporte was ordered new in 2005 by Sir Elton John with Verde paintwork perfectly complimented by the Biscuit leather interior with rosewood veneer. The list of extras is no less than extensive including rear DVD player and screen, games input, two headphones, remote control and six CD autochanger. A copy of the V5 shows Sir Elton John, with the current number plate, as the original owner, registered to his London address.
There is also the original Maserati welcome letter to ‘Mr John’ together with an unused personal 24 hour concierge member’s card with Sir Elton’s name on it. The car garnered extensive national press at the time of sale in 2010, after five years of ownership by the legendary artist and the press cuttings are also included in the history file. With approximately 28,000 miles indicated, the car is described to be in excellent condition throughout. Certainly this car would be the boon of any motoring or musical enthusiast’s collection.
Car has just been (January 2021) for a check at Maserati Birmingham, where you can go and see the car and has a fresh MOT.

For sale for only GBP 30'000 (offers welcome) more photos will be send on request.

Saw it the other day at Graypaul Birmingham, looked quite clean but wanted too much for it. Not my type of stock anyway.

I’ve just seen the £30k. That’s beyond ridiculous. I said I thought it might be worth £10-12k to someone.

Would anyone pay a premium for a car that belonged to Elton? Or any celebrity for that matter?

Easy trap to fall into, if I were selling this it would be through a live auction at Goodwood FOS or Revival lots of money and champagne sloshing about.

I know someone who had a Rolls Royce from the royal household which again you might think would attract a premium - it didn’t

Remebmber last time we said it wasn't worth the asking price and now it certainly isn't. You can get a QP GTS for that money. If fact surely worth less as Elton has owned it.
