Strada Magazine needs a GranSport LE

[Nayf]

Hello all, as Issue One is being printed as I type this, Issue Two is full steam ahead.

I'm looking for a blue med or red Maserati GranSport, ideally an LE. Ideally someone who lives close to (or willing to drive to and from in a day) Blakey Ridge in the North York Moors. I'm afraid it has to be blue med or red as the rest of the features in this particular issue are rather monochrome. The car would be fully insured, and we'll provide refreshments.
Ideally we'd be looking to shoot this on a sunny day in the next three weeks, so some degree of flexibility on date would be great (no-one wants to stand on the side of Blakey Ridge in the rain...).
I'll provide a cover note lest you get stopped by nosey police types.

Anyone game?

Do a monochrome feature and you can pull mine out of hibernation.

Or use Maf's yellow one... that would brighten up the whole of Yorkshire.

If they see the glow in the sky they'll think an invasion has started. If the key is turned they'll know it has.

Pardon the sidebar here.... But how many blues were available for the GS? Med and nettuno obviously... Possibly anniversario as well? For red i gather it's rosso only?

There was the very light blue also. Almost pastal blue with silver tones



Only seen one GS in this colour at the Ace Cafe Italian night

That's Newtons Argento Luna Gransport

Seabring blue too as well as any out of pallet choices.

Red, there is also Rame Ghibli, a burnt orange colour, Pat in Bristol had one.

Some models also got the Blu Anniversary.

I spend a fair amount ogling this particular car. Kent's a PITA to shoot in (hedgerows) though, and the best location is at its tail end, and not quite of the visual style I was hoping for...

I think there are only two Argento Luna Gransports in the UK. Here is the other one

The blue colours that were available for the GS and special editions were.

Luna Argento
Blue med
Sebring blue
Anniversary blue
Nettunno blue
Victory blue.

There may well be some special order blue colours out there as well.

I wonder if they are all still out there. Do you know if they are all Blue interiors? Only ever seen pics mine and Newtons in the UK so far.
I think you have sold my car on at least one occasion over the years. Probably not many that haven't crossed your path at some point by now!

 

[DaveT]

There's at least one with black leather/grey tech cloth inserts that I remember seeing.

 

[dickygrace]

And one with Avorio too...

 

[JonW]

Mine’s not Blu Med but Blu Nettuno... so probably too dark...

 

[Ewan]

Maybe try Malcolm Pearce. Up in Yorkshire he has a stunning red Ghibli Cup, a GS, and a Strad. Can’t accurately remember the colour of his GS, but I seem to recall it might be red as well.

It's bloody lovely, is what it is.
