Thank you for the update Marios - Sad times to read of any of the Maserati community passing.

RIP

There will be many a 3200 owner who will miss his knowledge for sure.

RIP David. A fountain of knowledge that will be missed.

RIP David.
Years ago I bought a torque tube from him and made the trip to his place to meet him in person.
Wondered quite often how he was lately, since his website was not updated for a while.
Great guy, sad to hear this news.

Remember him from the last forum…..years dedicated into the brand
Thoughts to his family at a difficult time

 

[Ewan]

I bought my first ever Maserati from David, a LHD 1995 2.0 lt. Ghibli ABS that he had bought in Italy and driven back. A cracking car from a cracking chap. And here I am, 22 Maserati's later...so, boy does he have a lot to answer for!

Just a lovely man to deal with, very knowledgeable and helpful. He is a sad loss.

RIP David.

A passing is always sad, but even more so a respected member of the community as was David. RIP sir.

[Scaf]

Seen the name many times but never met the guy, but everyone one here always spoke very highly of him.
RIP - thoughts with his close friends and family

Great chap whom I’d the pleasure of meeting just once but he left a lasting impression, along with his wonderful wife Penny, condolences to the family.

This is sad, David helped me out many times on my old 3200. Often doing a few favours, his knowledge was immense.
RIP a top chap.

 

[mjheathcote]

Very sad.
It's not good lately, any one who has had any involvement with Triumph Stags will have know or heard of Tony Hart who owned Hart Racing Services. He pasted last Friday.
RIP both.

Sad news indeed

Very sad to hear, a lovely chap who like Ewan, also sold me my first Maserati - my 3200AC. He and Penny were a great team, I remember the tale of David popping Penny in the boot of a 3200 to look for a water leak and she came out smiling - and found the leak!
I also remember my first test drive with him - wow, I'm not sure I ever recovered from that and those who sat alongside him will know what I mean!
A sad loss for sure
