It was up on ebay not a huge number of months ago........

[GransportFan1]

What we reckon it will fetch? sub 4k??

 

[Parisien]

They are not loved Maseratis..........the bi-turbos...........plus very costly to fix relative to their overall value......will never be a classic IMHO

Not sure it will sell...Its been doing the rounds for around 6 months...Autotrader, ebay, PH............

 

[GransportFan1]

The seller may have a high reserve too.

Didn't Clarkson drop a skip on one of these?

 

[Andyk]

TYhought that was a British Leyland car....................Ah. no you could be right....Think he did a few years ago in one of his videos.

 

[BennyD]

He once dropped a grand piano on a Marina.

 

[Andyk]

2 Marinas if my memory serves me.......My Dad had one of those when I was a small lad...

 

[BennyD]

Marinas, Itals Allegros etc were all piles of cr4p. It's no wonder our car industry went to the wall. They should all be destroyed. IMO!

 

[Andyk]

Yep....not the best moment for the Bristish car industry..

 

[safrane]

What about the wedges...Princess and Ambasador...yuccckkkkk

 

[Andyk]

Dad had a Princess as well...and an Oxford Cambridge and a Morris Ital....

I know they are Maserati but what a dark time for the company... A car that just hasn't aged well at all........Wonder how we will see the GS when its 20 years old...Bet it will still look great...
