Hello forum folk, this is my first post (although I've been lurking and reading for a while) about my first Maserati. Shipped over from Japan a couple of weeks ago the car is currently with Emblem in Poole where I saw it today (for just the second time) after its inspection. I also had the pleasure of bumping into Ewan and family.
Thankfully the verdict on the Ghibli is good. No rust, sweet sounding engine, all original, early GT (with the fake filler cap but the uprated Ferrari rear diff), just a few little bits to sort such as:
Rear bumper grill and central grill (whole strip plus small panel that covers the tow bar point)
N/S and O/S door wiring gaiters
Boot carpet panel (in grey) that covers battery in the rear wheel arch
Battery cover and door closing kit
Small black plastic trim that sits behind the 'Maserati' sill cover in the bottom rear corner of the driver's door frame
If anyone has any of the above please PM me.
She's only done the equivalent of 22,000 miles and is remarkably clean. Colour combination is (I think) Verde Tundra, very, very dark green that looks dark blue or black in some light with the beige / sand interior.
Special thanks to dickyb who's been an absolute legend answering my many questions and offering some great advice. Here are a couple of not very good pictures, when I get a chance to take some decent ones I'll update:
