Auto Italia January 2016 Maserati article

[wink]

Issue 240 of Auto Italia is running an article on the 3200GT vs the 4200 GranSport. The 3 cars featured are my automatic 3200 (the blue one in the background), a silver manual 3200 and a red 4200 GranSport. It's on sale 6th January.

Bring it on! Let's finally put this one to rest!

The winner of this I will take as gospel for eternity!

red 4200 GranSport.

No such thing mate

That should be interesting, hopefully it will start of unbiased, well researched and not an advert for certain garages.

 

[Contigo]

Of course it will be **** they didn't consult me or my buying guide

 

[wink]

Apologies for incorrect naming of GranSport model - I'm just an ignorant 3200 owner

I know, I'm the same too

Out of interest who contacted you to photo your car?

Lets hope its not just nice back lights and last of the original engine v reliability and the car it always should have been...

 

[GeoffCapes]

Look forward to reading that.

I guess it was my idea - Auto Italia is actually going to feature my Fiat Coupe restoration as well in a future issue, and I suggested to Phil Ward that they should do something on the 3200 as it's a much-maligned car. I don't know what their conclusion will be re. 3200 v 4200 etc., but the writer enjoyed driving my car, especially when I turned on Sport mode & encouraged him to give it some beans.

Will be getting that one...

I'm just wondering how long after publication the "told you so" thread appears

You'll be able to count it in seconds ;0

Sounds intriguing, time for some score settling!

 

[whereskeith]

I will only buy it if the GS comes out top....any other result would be a fix

 

[mjheathcote]

They will throw in the curve ball with the 4200!

 

[wink]

I guess I should have said the February edition of Auto Italia - the January edition has just dropped through my letterbox, and it's all Lamborghini Espadas.

 

[Contigo]

Fail!

BTW there is a nice feature on the QPV in this months "Modern Classics" magazine that is well worth a read. Great new magazine too!
