first saw one in the US, on a beautiful summers evening in Beverley Hills ; I think this is its natural habitat.
still amazing value, not so long ago these were over 50K and if you want the 4 seats, not much to match it.

Each to their own, personally just waiting patiently until mid spring sunshine arrives...

Start up, overrun and an engine at full chat, combined with a million miles of headroom...no air-con or stereo needed

Seems that feeling was captured at exactly 1:23 seconds in the vid below...

MM - You don't need to be in California to enjoy it, thou I'd seriously consider purchasing the sport variant.

I have a 968, and the open top in the dark is great. Shame it’s light 24 hours here in the summer...

Yes the GT Cab certainly devices opinion......The first cars that came out were a bit of an acquired taste and bit soft but gang on for a Sport to drop price wise and they are much better...looks and drive.......Was speaking to an owner who had both and he said he couldn't believe the difference between the two cars and wouldn't touch the early cars as the Sport was far superior.

And what's not to like....love this review....lovely colour, lovely sound.....yes flawed in places as most Maserati's are but who cares.

I like that, it is an acquired taste but once it gets you you keep coming back and see lots of stylish touches. If I was to buy a Maserati now it would probably be a GranCabrio

Nor for me, but I totallly see the appeal. Made early Ferrari Californias look ugly and expensive...

That’s incredible value at the mileage. And a lovely color combination for summer roof down motoring on the continent imho

I agree. Utterly Mental VFM if the Service History Checks out. The colour combination isn't bad at all, and the stitched headrests are a nice touch. With a few personal touches that could be quite special.
Dont understand the price

MOT History looks good, although it appears not to have had an MOT from May 17 until is was redone in Dec 17 but other than that May each year with only 1 advisory for front tyres cracking.

It does look remarkably cheap

Not disagreeing, BMW much cheaper if you what the same sized/4 seat cab on a budget, even the V10 M6 variant.

The old 6 series in V8 form is a total bargain. OK the looks will divide but my 645 coupe was a brilliant car and what other V8 Coupe can you buy for 5k/6k. Convertibles are a little more but still great value. Even the newer shape can be had for under 20k now...Just.
