Anyone know this car? Its black QPV Sport GT with tan leather. Looks like its in a good nick and found a photo of it online among other Maseratis during some meet so thinking it must have been owned by an enthusiast.

Another one for sale - MA53EEE registration. I am tempted just to bid unseen and if successful arrange an inspection to check if its indeed as good as seller claims it is.

Any thoughts on this one anyone?

It isn’t a Sport GTS, just a Sport GT. Duo select QP’s didn’t have a GTS model.
Strange to see a Sport GT on 19’s but not unheard of; makes the ride more compliant.

If you bid, you’re bidding to buy it, not to buy subject to inspection. I’d be very surprised if they agreed to you having a ppi after you’ve won the auction.

As Dicky mentioned it is not a GTS only a Sport GT. How the seller can get this wrong I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if this made 12k as it probably should do wth that mileage and history if it all checks out. We all know though that many QP's are on the floor at the moment though so could be way less and a bit of a great deal if so IMHO.

My QP is on 113k, drives like demon, it's now a throwaway car car given prices and residuals, my DD, but what a way to go...

I'll drive it till it breaks...

If it didn't have the Sport GT badge on pillers I would have said it was an Exec GT with that grill as well as the wheels.

Its deffo Sport GT, seller provided build sheet. Came with 20 inch wheels that were swapped for these 19s at some point in its life. To be honest I dont particularly mind 19s as ultimately I would want to put 20s Neptune wheels in future.

That GTS thats on sale on the forum though... ok nearly 80% more but what a car....

Not sure though why it has Executive GT front grille though. No mention of that in order sheet so must have been changed by someone at some point. Thought Trident was meant to have red stripes as well? And disks are not cross drilled as they should have been from factory so either had those replaced or wrong ones were fitted...

I see this is also on AT at 14k. Would imagine they will not let it go for peanuts if they are after that amount.

Was just thinking the same, I doubt it’ll be an ‘honest’ auction. They’ve a few examples of negative and neutral feedback on eBay too. Are you buying @granturismo? If so, I will leave alone, if not, I’m off for a look at it.

14995 on AT now. Seems odd to me as well with 19's and bit cross drilled disks. Maybe it isn't Sport GT.

Bet it will resurface again ..... 13 sounds like they got someone to up the bid as EBay is where people like to find a bargain....could be wrong but let's see.

Was just about to say so; wasn’t impressed by the chap yesterday so I’m out.

Call me I’ll tell you. I was going to buy yesterday as you’d not said you were pursuing it.
