Hello.
My name is James Tunnicliffe, and my father was from Stoke on Trent, England.
I am new to this Maserati Forum, but have posted a lot on MaseratiLife.com.
I live near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

see: http://www.maseratilife.com/forums/

I own a 2002 Maserati Coupe Cambiocorsa. It is bone stock with 23k miles.
Black with Tobacco tan all leather interior. It runs perfectly. I've had it for
about a year and a half, and bought it from a friend who kept it immaculate.

I'm glad I found and joined this Forum, too. I've already learned a few new
things, and repost the information on MaseratiLife.com. I encourage others here
to join that Forum, as well. Between the two, I've learned all I need to know to
do basic maintenance and save myself expensive trips to the dealer.

Thanks to all. You may also contact me via email at jamestunnicliffe@gmail.com.

A big warm welcome .... Car looks great...If you get chance post some more pictures I sure we would all like to see more of her.

 

[ratirati]

These two are all I have for now.

Ooh shiny!

Welcome!

 

[ratirati]

Like I said, immaculate is how my friend kept it. Always garaged. Never driven in snow.
I've kept up with that, and use the best detailing products. Surf City and Meguiar's.
There's not a dent or scratch on it, and only the slightest wear on the driver's seat.
It still has that new leather smell, after 11 years.

I like to take good care of all my vehicles. I have a 1999 Buick LeSabre Custom that
I inherited from my Dad, who past away last year. And, a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT pickup truck.

I also ride Vespas and motorcycles, and have 3 of each! But, I'm going to sell one of each,
hopefully in the Spring.

love the no front plate, makes the car look so nice

 

[Andyk]

Lovely...Love the interior colour.

 

[ratirati]

Interior is great. When my friend was trying to sell it, he said he got a lot of interest about that color combination being rarer. But, he couldn't sell it at $60 some years back. I picked it up for $30. I couldn't refuse that opportunity to own one at that price when I knew it was in excellent condition.

Luckily, there is a Maserati dealer 12 miles from me where I can get service, because I had to get a complete clutch overhaul soon after, at $5k. I knew that going in to the deal. My friend told me it would slip out of gear now and then, and it was only a matter of time before I'd need a new clutch. Other than that the car runs perfectly.

Welcome James. We don't tend to get many from the US on here, suppose you have your own forum that is more relevant to your location.

Its nice to chat with people from different countries do spread the work on ML to pop over and say hi.

Are you shipping your car over for the centenary celebrations in September?

 

[Chrisbassett]

Tobacco is my favourite interior, would love to have my Spyder with that. Not sure if I could get black seats dyed lighter though...must ask around.

Beautiful car, sir!

 

[allandwf]

Lovely looking car, and looks so shiney. Scottish weather plays havoc with mine. Black looks good for about a day here!

 

[zagatoes30]

Not sure yet what I'm doing about the centennial. But, I will spread the word about SportsMaserati.com.

If you ever come to Philadelphia, hit me up. I'd love to show you around.
