Well, there we go. It's all over.
The car was collected last Friday by the THIRD buyer - There are some STRANGE folk on ebay!! The buyer intends to get the car back on the road so whilst my little ebay venture probably wasn't financially worth the faff at least the car has been saved from the breakers yard.
Everybody involved has been superb and a great support - the Maserati community genuinely is one of the friendliest I've come across.
Of particular note has to be Autofficina - who very nearly saved the car for me with a VERY generous offer of assistance, but most of all my public thanks and appreciation have to go to Emblem Sports cars of Poole.
Not only did they talk themselves out of lots of work on the car - therefore saving me a needless fortune (it would have been easy to recommend further investigation...) - they kept me fully involved in all of the options available, did lots of background pricing up and searching for parts, were gentle when breaking bad news (refusing to do so on the phone, insisting that I was sat down when they told me!) and put up with having my dead Maserati in their garage for what turned out to be over a month. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble - and it felt genuine. In short I could not have asked for better.
If I am ever fortunate enough to own such a wonderful car again I have no doubt where it will be going to get looked after. I can't praise the proffessionalism, honesty and downright decency of Myles and Martin enough.
Thank you very much everybody, maybe one day in the future I will be back on these forums as an owner. It's been emotional.
