Where are all the Centennials???

[beararse]

It may be paranoia but since the recent announcements regarding EV vehicles and the inevitable demise of pistons, there have been few decent GT's and no Centennials on the market (to my eyes at least). I might be wrong but is this a sign that residuals will rise given that these are last of the NA engines?. Owners holding onto their treasures? In any event, I sold my GTS last year and have been on the lookout ever since for a Stradale Centennial, am I right/wrong?

I was keeping an eye out for a Strad Centennial as well but not seen one up for ages.

I think that may be true for Centenials, there is never many for sale, apart from the Red with Black bonnet, that was up for ages,

There are plenty of GTS up and those for dale is increasing with more private sales coming up, I've inquired on a few private ones, but owners don't seem to be willing to drop much off.

There is a new Black Strad at GC Motors in Harrogate, 2011, very low miles, think 9k, £66k, I gave them a call but its had 4 owners......

Yeah, saw that one. I'm in the minority in that I liked the red/carbon bonnet one!!, haven't actually saw one but I'll bet it was a looker in the flesh though.

I agree it looked fantastic but didn't fancy losing 50k over 2 years on it!

Only limited numbers of true centennials, according to Maserati UK 9&7 blue and red GranCabs respectively. Not sure about the GT numbers. There was a blue GC Centennial earlier this year up for £85k ish on eBay for a few weeks. Looked lovely..

Will the Centennial be worthy more than a standard Stradale over time...Not sure as its only cosmetic .... Different colours, different leather style on the seats and a plaque........I would buy a standard car and save 10k plus.....and the interior is nicer on the standard cars in my eyes......

Same argument for the GTV CUP in Alfa circles, and it is.

Centennial will be worth more long term for sure. History tells us that short run specials often are. Maybe not 10k+ more in the short to medium term but long term they will likely be more than 10k+ over a stock Strad. The changes are not much granted but it marks 100 years so is some milestone.

I saw that in the showroom at JCT600. I'd have had it if I had the money. I looked really good in the flesh. Great to a GT that wasn't black, grey, or white.
