    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    How about grey? ;) I've seen a Bianco Fuji QP Sport GT S at SportsItalia a few times over the years, I think it looks ace in white.

    I can trace the genesis of my love for the Quattroporte from this video… still makes me smile every time I watch it.

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    That looks sensational... not often you see CF paddles, CF instrument binnacle and MC pedals optioned, and the Grigio Alfieri exterior/Avorio interior is a lovely combination. Whilst I was there... what happened to MCV prices? I thought they were going for £60k a year or so back... what a car...

    I do agree - what I've also observed is that the good condition GT S examples that are advertised at the right price, sell very quickly. I think he was asking £29k-ish originally and it's been on the market now for a while. With the price down to £26k it's closer to the ballpark based on today's...

    Headlight Restoration - Superglass

    They're a franchise, you might find they have someone else more local that covers your area - worth a shot.

    Headlight Restoration - Superglass

    Just use Superglass and be done with it... it's pocket change relative to the price of a new set, and their work comes with a 2 year guarantee. They'll be able to advise you whether the cracks can be remedied with their treatment or if they're internal.

    Dome/Button shaped 'tree' clip (67609200) - Alternatives?

    Can anyone help sourcing a less-expensive flavour of these over-priced Maserati trim clips for my QP, please? I'm not convinced £2.16 + VAT per clip represents value for money... for the price of one of these I could grab at least two king-sized Yorkies...

    Has anyone else been tracking this QP Mk1?

    I'm with you... I love it. I'd prefer dark blue or something, but I still think it's fabulous.

    Maseratis Ride Out East! Sunday 7th May @ Brentwood

    I'd go a step further Chris and raise you from 'gang' of like-minded individuals to 'mob' :D It was a cracking day out with plenty of hydrocarbons combusted from many Italian cylinders; initially a little drizzly although the sun broke through in the afternoon. Some fantastic roads were enjoyed...

    Nice! Yes, it's still going ahead - currently 7 stallions attending of various flavours: 3x QPs, 3x GTs and 1x GC so far. I'll send you a PM and add you to the whatsapp group :) Next time perhaps :)

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    Change of scenery for you, @MarkMas? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202304246609488 I think it's a lovely colour combo - complete with stripes in the footwell (see a few thread posts up) although the owner does seem to have got a little carried away with extra stick-on badges :)

    Quattroporte Vs Listed For Sale

    Well said... I was exaggerating somewhat when deploying the term 'ruinous', and of course everything is relative. Despite going into Maserati ownership with eyes wide open it still makes me wince when I see a bill north of £2k, which happened twice (almost three times) last year! All is soon...
