    Cocnours winning 1981 RHD Merak SS for sale - the best!

    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...

    Cocnours winning 1981 RHD Merak SS for sale - the best!

    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...

    RHD Shamal up for auction

    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...

    Merak

    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.

    Merak

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

    Merak

    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...

    Merak

    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...

    Merak

    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...

    The £250k Shamal...

    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...

    The £250k Shamal...

    OK, this looks immaculate and has only 7500 Km, and there are plenty of hyper-wealthy car-crazy guys in Dubai who will spend big to drive something that nobody else has, but……... AED 999,999 ? (that's £250,000 !!). :conf: http://bit.ly/23qXcfT

    Concourse Merak SS for sale

    Great that it was a private buyer. Good things usually come to those who wait long enough! He was the right man for the car - he appreciated that another one this good is unlikely to hit the market for a long time.

    Concourse Merak SS for sale

    Exactly what I knew would happen!! Good luck to the new owner - he'll do very well out of this car financially, and no doubt have a great ownership experience. Having said that, I would't be surprised if it was bought by another dealer. When I first saw this thread (the same day the car...

    Concourse Merak SS for sale

    That's my car at Emblem - it was misfiring and I wanted Myles to get it running sweetly. He's overhauled the carbs, fitted new distributor cap, HT leads, plugs, coil, fuel pump etc, and is giving th a good check over and sorting some other minor issues. Spoke to him on Saturday and he said it's...
