The story behind the Iso Grifo was interesting
Yes, we were very well represented, but I agree with @Bobby Dandruff the rest of it was disappointing, Good to meet you @makeshiftUK and catch up with @Zep and others I haven't seen for a couple of years.Maserati was one of the best represented marques today (way more so than in the past) but….the event was significantly quieter than previous years.
There must have been half or maybe two thirds the number of cars present that I have seen at previous events, which is a shame especially as the tickets are a third more expensive!
:-(
Likewise fella… and the mystery of the RX56-something Blu Med GS driver on the M5 a few weeks back continues unsolved!Yes, we were very well represented, but I agree with @Bobby Dandruff the rest of it was disappointing, Good to meet you @makeshiftUK and catch up with @Zep and others I haven't seen for a couple of years.
Always wanted one of those. What's the story?
If I remember correctly it was originally purchased new by the official photographer to the Monaco Royal Family who owned it for 27
years before it was bought by Martin Lange the former Brentford FC Chairman who had it restored to this colour (it was originally white with black leather). I think anyway…. :-/
PS My first two Dinky toys were a blue Iso Grifo and a white Ford GT40.
Well apart from the rusty Fiats and the noisy Lamborghinis the day was awesome
Great day out and really good to see sooo many Maseratis and to meet great like minded people!
Today was my father-in-laws 79th birthday and we did the test hill 4 up in the QP - he and the whole car loved it!
Came in as a lot of Maseratis we’re leaving, alas.
Are they still painting your yellow calipers??You are all making me wish I had a Maserati!
That Lambo is one of one. Can't think why!!Some snaps I took from today. Some observations:

- Blu Med GS's are as common as muck... OK, so the first other one I've ever seen was in the row behind us!
- Spotted an F12 TDF... very shiny, and very pricey judging by the 3 or so on AT...
- Very taken by the Maserati edition Abarth! If I ever had a need for a small runaround...
- Bad taste award goes to the owner of the purple Lambo with bright orange accents. Seriously.
