    One day like this a year...

    ... would see me right. A couple of weeks ago I had the enormous pleasure of driving in sunshine through the heart of England to view, in relatively quick succession, a 3200GT and a GranSport. I'd like to thank both owners for being so generous with their time and for allowing such good access...

    Sage advice. Thanks!

    Thanks. The MC Victory does look rather special. Over budget for me, sadly. There does seem to be a consensus that the Gransport offers an easier ownership proposition. Maybe a 3200 is too much to swallow for a first timer?

    Now could be the time…

    Yes indeed. I’ve driven three 3200s. And I’m booked in to view a fourth tomorrow. They’ve all been intoxicating experiences in their own way. Gransport experience is currently limited to sitting in but not driving. I do have experience of paddle change in a BMW and I was lucky enough to...

    If ever proof is required that I can offer no “relevant technical knowledge or experience”, I think I’ve just provided it.

    Matching shoes and, er…., small red electrical connector on the front of a racing car…? Plus he has a clipboard. Must be a scrutineer.

    Very fair point. Fortunately I’m roughly equidistant between Sports Italia and the Maserati Shed. So I hope I can call in the big guns when the inevitable happens….

    Hi! A Sebring, Ghibli or Khamsin…. … in my dreams!! I’ve flirted with the idea of a Granturismo but these days I prefer to drive as if I’m wearing my slippers. So I’m focusing on a 3200 or a Gransport. I remember seeing the 3200 at Goodwood Festival of Speed when they first appeared. It...

    Thanks! I did mean Meridien, not Meridian the ITV franchise. Doh! As ever, I blame the spellchecker.

    Hello All Just a brief note to introduce myself. I’ve been an admirer of Maserati since the 1980s when I lived not too far from Meridian in Lyndhurst. I’ve never been fortunate enough to own one, but I’m now starting my search. Sadly I don’t have any relevant technical knowledge or...

    Hi. Glad to make contact! I’m in the market to buy a Gransport and yours looks like a very fine example. So I wonder, if you are taking viewings, could I come along to view it? I’m based in Winchester, Hampshire. Are there any times over the next week or so when I could drop by?

    Dear Enzo I'd be very grateful to have a chat with you regarding the car you have for sale. I'm new to the forum, though, and struggling to find how to get a personal message to you.... is this it? Please do drop me a note in reply if I'm on the right track! All good wishes MC60
