I didnt get any photos of it Andy but it was in being prepped for a European tour next month and it is No.3 of only 4 made! It is a lovely bit of kit and the roof line trails so nicely into the point of the rear light with the break projecting subtly beyond that... Quality and well thought through design (Lipu take note); I personally think the wheels are wrong for it making it look too heavy but that is just my opinion....

Good to finally meet you and your other half....refreshing to see your good lady as enthused as the rest of us.

Great to chew the cudd on all things Maserati and good to hear you have the tangerine GS handling the way you always wated it to.

Its a shame that Maserati didn't take this design up...A QP shootingbrake would have been better than that 4 wheel drive effort thats coming out soon.................You are right on the wheels.....

There's a couple of pics in the album I linked in - not great though, as it was on the ramp.

Just wondering how this got a 60 registration plate, as they were made a few years back?

I believe its based on the older car, but as it wasnt registered until 60 plates, it gets a 60. The reg is based on when its first registered not when its made. My Dads mate had an 1990 H plate MGB - it was in storeage, unreg'd, and he bought it and reg'd it...and used it daily, IIRC.

My friend had an L reg renault 5 turbo, the only one in the country

They stopped at j reg so his one was deemed newer by everyone and so sold for a lot more
