Is metallic purple a Maserati colour?

Also, I thought Cat B cars weren't allowed back on the road?!

Cat B cars aren't, must be an error somewhere.

Cheap as chips, I'm definitely getting a soft top next, can't beat the soundtrack and the wind in your bald head!

Although it's rare, there's nothing to legally nothing to stop a cat b car being put back on the road. The categorisation is purely an ABI (assoc of British insurers) industry code of practice. If a registered trader is prepared to put a cat b car back on the road and you can get it though a vic test, then it can go back on road. Not easy to get it insured though, I'll bet!

I notice that it's missing the nearside engine cover, so perhaps it's been smacked on that side...

I am with you there.

When I sell the GTS to buy these office units, I might do the same, drop top and Larinis!

I couldn't agree more!

I wondered when you would pop your head up!

Yes, I wasn't aware, and was always led to believe that you can't put a cat B back on the road. Used to own a Cerbera, that was cat B, written off at 9 months old and TVR put it back on the road, so I was told.

Wasn't there a damged 4200 in salvage in that colour a few months back...?....Not a colour I've seen before an

Still here Matt, just watching form and putting in the odd two penneth worth!!

 

[hodroyd]

That's a really strange colour, respray at some point maybe? Cheap at £13K, but if difficult to insure it could be a pain.

 

[Andyk]

If it's painted it looks a good job as all the engine bay is done as well.....

Maserati used to do a 'black cherry pearl' colour, but I'm not sure that's it
