I met Nareman last week. Very nice guy and worth a visit. He seems very honest in my opinion

36k in 11 years? Masers don't like not being used so there may be trouble in store.....I'm sure it's as gilt edged as it's possible to be with these but, personally, I'd go for an F Type R. However, if you prefer wafting instead of really driving it, the GTS will tick every box you have but if you like real speed, the Jaaag has 100+bhp to start with and, with a tweak, another 80-90 is on tap. Sure, the Maserati badge is better than the Jag's, but if you like driving the Jaaag, IMO, is the better car.

Looks lovely, barely run in. I've not met or dealt with Nuvola but they have a good reputation. Cars are well prepared.
However, like any GT, or QP, really check it out. Shiny on top is easy, but is it good underneath?

Thanks for your reply. I need the rear seats otherwise an F-Type would definitely be on the list.

Wafting and badge posing sounds about good to me :thumb3:

I'm looking forward to my GT delivery on Tuesday

Looks a great example and I know Nuvola have a great reputation from others who’ve dealt with them.

First few questions to ask are on this car;

1. Has it had variators done or is there any sign of a rattling on start up as this car might be in the range of engines that an issue. An engine number of 148697 or higher should of had this issue resolved at factory

2. What’s the clutch wear reading? I had mine done around 37k and it’s quite a common mileage for them to go…some can go on much longer though, buts it’s about £3k to replace

3. Subframe - as mentioned already they are known to rust from inside out, some at this age have been treated but others won’t of so sure want to be sure it’s in good shape

I agree on the F Type after driving one. A vwry exiting but different car to the GT and not sure you would get a good F Type R for 35k these days. They Have gone up in price like most cars…Looking at the classifieds you now need 40k plus.
