I have three questions:

• What is @Nibby doing looking at Romanian art auction websites?
• What is a (RHD) biturbo doing on an Romanian art auction website?
• How can I buy it safely?

Possibly the owner used to be UK resident, owned the car, returned to Romania, brought the car with him? If interested maybe you should ask if they have the logbook/registration details.

Notice on the clearer photos the doors colour don't match.

Wait a minute, how many Maseratis has Elton owned?

Why isn't he a member of the forum?

Surely we can get a message to him to sign up...

Good spot. You get the same impression (just about) with the Romanian auction site. So, have to factor in a respray, then.



Plus some rust

Romanian authorities are clamping down on RHD cars in Romania, hard to get insured and they want to ban them. Or so my Romanian colleague at work says.

Front bumper looks poorly fitted and quite a bit of blended paint on the RHS.
