Strad seems a little expensive to me.

is a lovely 2 seater, roll-caged example but is this a bit expensive? Looks the dog's but this one

is much cheaper and a roll-cage could be added if so desired. Below £50K seems to be too good to be true.

Is there an echo in the room

Yep, discussed on a different thread. The white one looks a bargain and the black one doesn't look like it's worth 20k more....and it's a 2011 against a 2013.....

 

[Ewan]

Cage and harnesses are £5k. Lower miles is £5k. And black has to be worth at least £10k more than Essex white.

As examples of the best road car Maerati ever built, both are cheap! Tuck in, before they are squirrelled away and no longer available. After all, there are only about 35 of these left. Grab one while you can.

If anyone’s serious about the white one I can go and have a poke about, they’re only up the road.

Can't see 7k less miles worth 5k and that would be cancelled out by the fact the white is 2 years younger. How ever you cut it that black car is too much in the current market. Be interesting to see if it sells.

WTF is “limited cruising range”?

That’s hilarious, thanks.

I should caveat, I think that's what it means

I could indicate that your stereo volume needs to be turned up

It’s ludicrous for a private sale. The owner is dreaming. A 2011 and not exactly low miles. I guess there must have been a lot of strange smelling smoke in the room when he was typing the add into autotrader

Indeed. That part of my post was somewhat tongue in cheek.
The registration date doesn’t really mean anything, as my understanding is that all the 2 seat Strads were made together, over a period of just a year. Same as with their other low volume specials such as MC-Victory cars, the Ghibli Cups, etc. So, colour, spec, condition, history, mileage and the wear on items such as the clutch, ceramics and tyres is of more relevance to value.

With regards to reg dates, it’s a slightly different situation with the 4 seat Strads as these were built over a far longer period (about 4 years) and in greater volume.

Why do you think the White one is up for that price at a dealer Ewan? As you say , with a limited supply and being such a good car- surely that’s a steal?

 

[Ewan]

Yep. It’s a bargain. They simply want rid and to turn the money into fresh stock. They’ve had it about two months, so time to move it on quickly - to the great benefit on one lucky customer. (Subject to it passing the usual checks).

 

[Andyk]

Ah, OK...Though it wasn't tongue in cheek.

Agree with you! If it was black/ grey I would be very tempted. Surely it would also complement your maserati stable! Love your MC cabrio

 

[Ewan]

Keep up at the back Iain! I already have an MC-Strad - a 2 seat version in black. To match my black GranCabrio-MC.

Here they are together:

Though for the time being I’ve given the Cab to Dicky to sell. So if you fancy a summer toy, in your preferred black on black colour combination, head to Chester.

I thought it was a 4 seater Ewan! I knew you had bought a strad. Maserati should (seriously) use you for their advertising! Nice pair of cars indeed. And actually make sense. Does the two seater drive very differently and give a real sense of occasion?

 

[Ewan]

I think so, yes. In fact I didn’t even consider the 4 seater, as I don’t need 4 seats in my road-racer, and I wanted the full stripped-out feeling. The bucket seats certainly add to the drama.
