Selling the Maserati, had the car since 2019, had some great road trips in this car including a 3500 mile road trip to Italy/south of France last year, which is what we bought the car to do. It's a box ticked for us so we are looking to sell. It's a whits 2 seat Stradale with 42k miles. Give me a shout for more information.
2 seat Strad forsale

Just to update the ad and put some background into it. We bought the Strad back in Sept '19 after a deal to buy our dream property fell through. By Jan 2020 the dream property which was a Methodist church which required renovating came back on the market and we bought it. We then looked into selling the Mas and had a discussion with Richard Grace who said he would sell the car for us after an inspection at Autoshield. There was a job list which was required prior to sale. Clutch change which I believe was 60%ish if I remember correctly. Also cam cover gaskets and a couple of tyres. Anyway in the end we decided to keep the car and continue with our renovation which we have now completed. I'm so glad we kept the car, it would have been such a shame to miss out on owning such a mega car. Since then we have done nearly 9000 miles in the car, every one of them very enjoyable culminating in 2 week 3500 mile road trip to Italy in September last year visiting Pisa, Rome, Florence, Bologna, Modena, Venice, the lakes and the Stelvio pass then Monaco and St Tropez before heading home. The car was absolutely faultless. Even the security guy at the Modena factory when we had our tour, came out of his hut to tell us our car was the nicest sounding car he'd heard come through the gates for a while !! Before our great road trip the car had some love including cam cover gaskets, brake pads, ac compressor (the pulley seized up and smoked the belt) It had a major service at Sports Italia where it had a new header tank and he recommended having rhe underside corrosion proofed. We didn't use the car over the winter and done very little with it this year. We took the car back to Sports Italia recently to give it a once over and to carry out the underbody treatment. The car also had the wheels refurbished so they are mint (there was no damage but the coating had flaked off in a couple of places) it has had the front suspension bushes replaced with upgraded ones and has had a full geometry. It had 2 new Michelin sport 4s on the front to match the rears which are half worn. I've also replaced a couple of disc bolts, after recommendation will replace the caliper pistons to upgraded ones. They weren't in stock when the car was at Sports Italia. The clutch still hasn't been replaced, it has caused no problems and drives exactly the same today as it did when we got the car. I believe I have a good amount of mechanical sympathy due to the fact I work in the motorsport world and have a very good understanding of how these things work and how to drive them. Also the wife is also very good at understanding the intricacies of these cars, her every day car is an 07 Golf with 250k miles which we've owned since new and is still on the original clutch. Anyway we now live in our church and we don't have easy parking for the car and its a bit of a pain getting it out of storage every time to use it so we are thinking it's time to move it on. I know, it's white. I know, it has red calipers, it's had four previous owners and the service history prior to our ownership is patchy but it's a 2 seat Strad and since our ownership it's wanted for nothing and other than the usual bits and pieces you seem to hear about with these cars it's been great. If anybody is interested or knows somebody who's after this Strad, give me a call. Gary 07730592022. The car could be viewed in Brackley. I will attach some more photos when I work out how to resize/attach.
