    Carfest South family weekend camping ticket going cheap!

    It's short notice I know, but our family weekend camping ticket (covering 2 adults and 2 children) for the upcoming Carfest South is up for grabs, since we can no longer make the event. I thought it might be of interest to someone on here and of course you don't actually need to use the child...

    Replacing left front indicator bulb

    My left front indicator bulb has just given up the ghost. Read through the owner's handbook where it says to take the wheel arch lining off to get at it, but when I did this I was faced with a small radiator completely blocking access to the indicator set, which I definitely don't feel...

    Best trickle charger for a 3200

    Getting really fed up with my capricious Optimate trickle charger, which never seems to simply get down to the task of actually charging my bl00dy battery! So with winter coming I need to invest in a new one. Does anyone have a particular recommendation for a bulletproof make/model of...

    3200 turbo air pipe loose and how to spot it?

    First time my car went to Emblem they noticed that one of the air pipes connected to a turbo had come loose, meaning I was down on power. When we went out in the car they pointed out the hissing sound under turbo-assisted acceleration that was also a tell-tale sign of this. Yesterday I went...

    Another nice 3200 write up in new C&SC

    Just had a browse at the latest Classic & Sports Car and they have a page on the 3200 as part of a GT 'shoot out'. No final verdict on the four contenders as far as I could see but they clearly liked the Maser, saying that the £20,000 price for a top one is bordering on criminal (as in...

    Close-up pics of your 3200GT number plate light panel please!

    Bit of a strange one I know, but I'm keen to see what a good condition example of this colour-coded and chromed panel looks like, so I wonder if any 3200 owners with pristine ones would mind posting a close-up photo of theirs? Ideally showing the underside where the actual number plate lights...

    Maserati OEM wiper blade fitting clips for 3200

    Managed to get hold of a pair of OEM Maserati wiper blades to replace the generic, non-aero Bosch ones currently fitted. They came with no fitting clips included and - of course - my Bosch clips have too narrow an aperture to fit the fatter connecting bars on the Maser blades. Been to my...

    Shall we all club together???

    Still might not make the nut, I guess! https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/CA0815-219895/0/2005-Maserati-MC12/ Mind you, I'd actually rather have that beautiful blue one seen in London...

    Reattaching alcantara headlining

    Hi all, So glad to have the forum back! Anyways, here's a question - my alcantara headlining is coming away from the roof on the passenger's side, so it droops down a bit now. Driver's side is still OK and my wife is short(!), so it's not a crisis, but it looks cr@p and untidy, and I'd...

    Feeling quite chuffed with myself!

    It took around two hours, three broken fingernails, plenty of skin from my right thumb and a LOT of sweat and swearing, but I persevered and finally managed to right one of the more annoying little wrongs with my car... I now have a shiny new Trident to replace the old, corroded one...

    My 3200 affair… one month on

    Well, it's been a month since she entered my life. Just a month. And already things are unlikely to ever return to the way they were before. While seeking automotive stimulation I my life I rather feel I've hurtled straight from a bit of furtive fumbling behind the bike sheds into a...

    Anybody know this 3200... a little pricey maybe??

    Hello everybody! I think it's the onset of senility, but after years of prevaricating I'm starting to seriously look for a 3200 to have as a weekend/event car. Been keeping a closer eye on the classifieds for the past couple of months and spotted this one...
