Thanks for the info Paul - surprised that the MCV was on their system to be honest given the number of cars sold, might give them a go as also struggling on the lack of no claims for 2nd car.
Did you buy the other black MCV sold by Dicky earlier this year? Looked really stunning with the red interior.
Looks like 3 MCV's on this thread. Anyone know how many of the other 10 or so UK cars are registered on here?

Yes, that's mine. I'm sure you'll really enjoy yours.

Just found this which would imply they tweaked the steering as well as the body kit.

Through an enlarged front splitter and extended side skirts, Maserati has engineered the GranSport MC Victory to produce more downforce at high speeds, improving the car's high speed stability and dynamic response. The car's agility is further enhanced by even more direct and precise steering, creating a driving experience reminiscent of the Maserati MC12, and unmatched by any car in its own class.

If I remember the MCV has a different steering rack from standard GS's/4200 etc

Sure this was discussed on here before at some stage.

Hmmmmm.... Maserati PR department....

I'm wondering just how reminiscent the experience is of driving the MC12. On balance, I'm loathe to believe the experience has any similarity at all, save for it's a car.

The GS MCV was an exercise by Maserati to sell some of the remaining cars before the car came to the end of it's life......Lots do it......It's a great car but apart from the quicker steering its all cosmetic....But worth it for those seats...I'm sure they cost around 4k each if you tried to buy them off the peg and that front spoiler is many 1000's of pounds if my memory serves me right....Something like 3/4k for a replacement so don't damage it.
