Whats the best way to sell a project?

If you need to hide the car drop me a line.

@Devonboy , you said you had fallen out of love with the car but at least if you do decide to keep it you have a couple of excellent indie options within 60 miles of Shrewsbury in Autoshield in Manchester and Migliore in Bromsgrove, plus no doubt a Maserati dealer in Birmingham, so at least future servicing should not be too difficult.

not me! I am in love with my project!

"We're getting another garage built later this year and once that is done I won't need the room so will never get around to selling it."

Problem solved! You get the new garage and to keep the car - it's a double win.

Exactly - park it in the new garage and carry on wasting time here instead of fixing it.
Dawned on me yesterday my temporary ownership of this QP started in 2014. The poor old 3200 has moved house twice in that time without getting an MOT.

What’s the bidding at so far?

Still a good 5k off reserve

On the plus side the farmer is planting his spuds today so should repair the lane past the house this wee, then at least I'll be able to get it further than the end of the drive without risk of grounding or sinking in the mud.

So yesterday I finally got around to pulling the cover off, fitting the new battery (and vent pipe). Refitted the boot liner, pressed the button, and...

With 7 month old fuel and not having started since before Xmas it started first press and ticked over smoothly, no tantrums, no coughing, no warning lights, just like it had been parked an hour.

Took it up and down the drive and lane in first and second, everything behaved normally. Bloody typical that my wife was watching as she'd helped with the cover, so now she wants to keep it.

I fook a few photos so I'll make an advert up sometime over the next few days. Mileage is 44997, so 487 miles since June

Ha Ha, don’t know what you are worried about? 487 miles is a high mileage car for me and my fleet are on a policy with Lockton where each is limited to 500 miles. The joy is in owning and looking, not just driving.

All live in Carcoons on CTek’s with old fuel and provided this is not some E10 cr.p I accidentally put in on the continent they always fire up first time with no issues. A GS is a rare and beautiful car, so just look at it and sit in it. This is what I often do with my Arnage that’s done less than 100 miles in a year!

That's a serious gearknob!

That's a Stunning motor car and I think I could happily sit in there too.

Looks like one I was checking out on Autotrader......r u selling?

 

[Doctor Houx]

Sorry, Not for sale!

 

[zagatoes30]

That Arnarge is just a lovely place to sit, why would you want to drive it

 

[DevonPaul]

Reminds of someone who bought a 328 and just sat in the garage in it for hours at night.

Eventually his wife snuck out and discovered he was listening to his old mix tapes as it had a cassette player.

Or some Franky Vaughan on a Betamax vidéo

If it’s a Maser then it has to be Matt Munro’s “On days like these” and pretend you’re in the Italian Alps.... watch out for tunnels and diggers tho!

Is this the fuji Bianco car? If it is, I’m interested in buying it, either fixed or broken (depending on price). PM if you wish.

I'm putting mine up for sale soon - Fuji White GS. 48k (ish) miles, import, no rust, new tyres. I'm just looking to get back what it's cost me to buy and fix over the last 18months, which is £18K.

Wow, I did not see that coming!
You seem to have spent your ownership fixing it all up (great thread read) , without seemingly much of a chance to enjoy it.
Are you just fed up/over it?
