Old QP

[Andyk]

I know these are an aquired taste but this one seems in good condition from the pics at the bottom and hot silly money.....

Nice colour combo as well.
But, as you said, an acquired taste externally...

Would love to know how they compare to the current QP, given that it cost the same as one years depreciation! The latter ones built with Ferrari are the ones to go for and I understand it has the 3200 motor...whats not to like?

 

[Andyk]

This is the later one Pete..Evo one......Not too far from Chepstow either.

 

[safrane]

This one lookes even better but just look at the miles...oh and the price, a little rich.

Looks in great condition but as you say price .... Thats 3200 money which just looks so much better......Still think the one in Aberdare is much better value with 55k on the clock......They don't sell well so there must be some money to be had off the price....

...pity their late 80's/90's cars had style by-passes....unremarkable,virtually invisible, way over priced and easily forgettable.......IMHO

The thing is back when they came out I really liked them....But then I liked the Bi Turbos as well.......but they have not aged well at all so can see your point Frank...

 

[Parisien]

Not a question of aging Andy.....just never stood out from the crowd.....at all

I would love one of those, beats any old Merc or BMW saloon for similar money. What could possibly go wrong with that car??

Not sure on that one Frank as back in the square look days it still stood out on my eyes.....But as I said I get you point..

The front end styling I like, it's the rear I have a problem.
I like the last Ghibli's, but again, what was going on with the boot lid at the rear?!

 

[Andyk]

See I like the Ghibli front and back.....Love the high rear end...Its an Italian thing that...Look at Alfas of the time...75 to 155 all had the high back..

 

[mjheathcote]

I think the Ghibli boot looks odd to me because you can see the boot shut lines, I think it would be better looking if flush with the rear wing without the turned down lip.

 

[Andyk]

Ah see what you mean...its the way the boot goes over the back of the car.......

 

[mjheathcote]

The way it turns down at the back of the car is fine, it's the way it folds down over the side of the rear wings I don't like!
