Thanks Dicky (and Marios too) - I had a fantastic year and a half with the Merak, taking her to lots of shows in the Westcountry and some very memorable drives. She was always much admired - especially the colour. The new-owner-to-be is apparently very excited and he knows his stuff so this is a...

There's been a huge amount of interest and one serious offer on the Shamal but not high enough to tempt me yet. If the right buyer hasn't come along by the early Springtime I'll bring her home and enjoy her for at least one more Summer if not more. Not sure what I'll buy next but it will have to...

SOLD!!!!!! Not surprised. Great deal at that price.

A very special opportunity! http://bicestersportscars.co.uk/car-sales/1981-maserati-merak-ss/

The auction listing appears to have been careful not to mention the mileage or any service history which could mean there is nothing good to say in that regard. Seats seem to show a fair amount of use. However I assume this is the first RHD Shamal to come to auction for a very long time so if...

Yes, and it was Hilts_uk who tipped me off that you would be selling it so I have both of you to thank!

Pass! I've done my hillclimbing days (including Prescott). Several seasons in the 90's with the Ferrari Owners Club - a 'highlight' was crashing my F355 on the 5km hill up from Ramsey on the Isle of Man - and I've moved on. From hillclimbing and from Ferraris! Masers have more class.

Yes! Courtesy of your good self. She is still in fine form being pampered to the Nth degree.

Yes I'll be there. Haven't decided yet whether to enter the Merak or the Shamal - better pull my finger out and get my entry sent off! The engine problem was basically sorted with a carb overhaul, new coil, HT leads, distributor cap, and fuel pump. Myles replaced a lot of fuel hoses while he was...

Yes. Well, actually it's "Rame Metallizzato" (copper metallic). I think Rame Ghibli is almost the same, but was an option on more recent Maseratis - the name probably being a tribute to how amazing the original Ghibli looked in Rame Metallizzato. It's a colour that changes hue in different...

Thanks guys! Here are a few more pics..

Personally I think the reasons it hasn't sold are: It's a bit too expensive. The car was located in the far east for most of that 18 months it's been for sale, and only recently brought back to the UK. It's in a less appealing (in my opinion) colour scheme of grey with black interior. It's...

That looks to me like an automated description generated by which boxes he ticked. The part of the ad where he writes his own description seems to be this: "I sell this Maserati Shamal, produced only 369 copies from 1989 to 1995. I'm interested in exchange with the cars: Porsche Cayenne turbo...
