The original owner of my 3200 was too mean to specify the 'optional' spare and tools in 2000 - penny pinching on a car costing over £60K at the time!
Therefore when it became mine [for a lot less] in 2009 I decided I wasn't going to rely on the can of goo that was supplied instead. So when Eurospares had a delivery of 'equivalent' space savers last December, I ordered one - @£550 and it was actually a Ferrari wheel. It's very nice and it fits the car but to get it to fit the wheel well in the boot I had to deflate the tyre. This wheel/tyre combo is slightly larger than the original Maserati item. Now, a flat[ish] tyre is not much good as a spare so I carry a foot pump plus the correct jack [still available new], a wheel wrench and socket, a torque wrench and a car cover to stop the extraneous **** from sliding about.
If I have any more good ideas ...............
