18 month Lurker becomes owner

I don’t think they made (proper) Strads in red. I’ve never seen one. But would be happy to be corrected.

Wasn’t there one for sale with the decal kit last year?

This looks like the poverty spec model

There was a red one at a breakfast meet I went to a couple of years ago, I'll see if I can find a pic

Here you go, and the interior was correct as well

Bit odd that one. Pre-facelift front bumper, Strad rear bumper.

As for Candle’s car, I like those wheels on a GT. Very nice.

If I take my wrap off...I could look like you.

I have been testing this.

If I turn the engine off in sport and then restart and use the paddles, it goes to sport, which was great in the GTS but in the Strad it goes to Sport but not Race

Tried it too but from race. It started in auto and stayed in auto on paddle use.
Sport! Have I got that?

When I saw it I wasn't convinced about the front bumper, but I checked the interior and it looked correct, with the MC Stradale badges on the dash

Could we credit Maserati with some forethought; maybe being in race from start might be perilous due to the reduced traction, so setting off unwittingly on a damp morning might be a bit lively.

No bonnet vents

Just googled the no plate, was on dream car giveaways on fb, comes up as an Granturismo S MC sportline

It’s not a Strad. It’s a standard early car with a later rear bumper fitted.

They should have come like that from new in my opinion.

 

[Candle1966]

yes, I live in fear about the rust even though I've had it treated, started a new thread with a few pics and costs

Delighted to say I picked this beauty up yesterday from Nuvola, let me say that Nareman is a great chap to deal with and needless to say I'm delighted, reading the forums over the last 18 months helped direct my decision, and although not my first choice in colour the history and 23k on a 2010 car meant (engine number after the variator problem) I just had to have this one. I may be refurbishing the wheels in Grigio Mercury to add a harder edge to the looks and will post pics if so,

Interestingly I have the darker matt silver/grey Neptune Rims on my blu oceano GT Sport MC shift and I think I prefer bright/gloss silver.
I'm considering changing the rims or get them painted / powder coated. Maybe I should actually try to find someone on the forum looking for the opposite swap.

I might well be up for that, we should message
