As a few of you know, I've decided to 'semi-retire', I'm selling the business, house, land, most of the horses (yeahh! ;D), lorry...... lock, stock, the lot, and off to where the grass is greener. France..... (and before any of you warn me against how rude the French are, be warned, I'm half French, so you can expect me to be rude back! ;-D ) This is the reason for my forum absence, as I've been pre-occupied getting everything in gear for our new life. (This was also the reason for my last minute decision to pull out of the Monte Carlo trip, tough one that, but too much suddenly to sort!) It has been a sudden'ish decision, but I'm tired of the business I've run for 25+ years, and no longer have the energy or desire for it. Also, it'll be nice to be mortgage free 
The reason for mentioning this on here is that the Mas, that originally was the last thing I wanted to let go of, and had chatted to Andy about handling the sale for me once we left these shores, has got to go sooner. After a long Jubilee weekend in France we have fallen in love with the perfect property! FATAL! We haven't sold ours yet! Also, what we had ear marked as our deposit has largely been consumed elsewhere, so the Mas (and our new Horsebox, if anyone is interested....... it's got a toilet..!) has to go for us to realise our dream! Sad, but right now, all I want is that house!!! (It ticks all our boxes, has a separate small cottage for our Son, he's in love with it too; has a separate sorted farm house for family and friends to stay....... ALL MASERISTI WELCOME! ; has enough land for the 2 horses (yes got the wife down to 2! (Result! Now have to think of a new forum name!?); has a garage and a pit; cider apple trees to make me cider ; plenty of charm and character............... and I don't want to loose it!)
So, grab a bargain! The face lifted 4200 "Vintage" that has been my absolute pride and joy for the past few months is "up for grabs"! It's metallic black with black leather, has white stitching and piping and also has the darkened wheels. Drives PERFECTLY! Recent 4 new tyres, and a very recent clutch and all the bits associated fitted by Dick Lovetts of Swindon.
It's got a full 'Meridien Modena of Lyndhurst' service history, on the nail, and had a FULL service just prior to my buying it last November by 'Fioranos Ferarri & Maserati' in the New Forest. MOT the same. It wants for nothing. It's done 64k miles, most of which have been motorway miles by the previous owner, Meridien have verified this. MY2005 (Nov 2004) It also has the tool kit, Maserati inflator kit, 6 disc changer, etc, and is a car that has been very well looked after, and it shows. The "Vintage" bits are a really nice touch.
I paid 17k, have spent about 3 1/2k on clutch, tyres and cruise control (also fitted by DL's), so I figure 15k to be a snip for a quick 'equity release' (don't want to drop any lower obviously). So...... any one interested??? If so, please hurry! Haven't advertised it else where, would rather someone on here that actually knows what they are looking at bought it. I never sell privately, but I have every confidence in this car, and if I can muster up my 'necessaries' for our deposit elsewhere, I shall hang on to it for as long as...... then at the last moment it will be in the trusty hands of our Andy, or if not convenient at the time, our forums 'fail-safe' Dicky Grace.
The future will see me back in a Mas somewhen down the line I'm positive (a left hooker), so you can't get rid of me on here that easily, but right now all I care about is not loosing this dream of ours!
The weathers been cr*p this week for photos, so heres a few that I've taken recently on my phone. I'll get some proper pics if the rain ever stops! ("Flaming June", eh?!) Andy took some better ones some time ago and put them on here, I'll look for the thread in a bit.......
Oooo, nearly forgot, it has a set of Larini's on, so they are up for sale, unless someone wants those left on, and wants to negotiate the price to include these aural beauties, in which case the originals can be carefully placed in a box in the boot
Oh, and I put the private plate on it.....
Interested???
