One thing for me is that the Stradale is the most desirable car Maserati has made......
MC12?

Birdcage??MC12?
Birdcage??
I am very dubious about manufacturers claimed weights, especially since a number of recent road tests have actually included actual weights. I think every one I have seen has been 50 - 200 kg above the manufacturers claim. It is all a bit like Italian horsepower claims in the 70s and 80s or the E Type top speed in the 60s..... Has anyone actually weighed their Maserati?3200GT 1560kg, I had to get that one in

My Spyder has four seats apparently. Been trying to find the extra two everywhere - they're not in the boot and definitely not in the glove box.Given so many GS coupes are listed as spyders on the v5 I would take the HML data with a pinch of salt.
It's a lot straighter than it was! Probably on SOR.I'm staggered that any dealer can think it worthwhile to have their working capital tied up, not to mention floor space consumed, not to mention on going costs of storing, maintaining and presenting a car. Would have thought they'd drop to mid to high 20's just to be done with it. I think Dave is right - as I cannot see why it would have sat this long, if it were a straight car.
With a bit of luck you might be able to buy in back for similar money next March!Wish I had kept my 360M Manual with 13k miles, TDF Blue, Carbon seats. Bought it in the banking crisis 2008 for £43k and sold it in 2012 for £42k.
I've seen it a number of times when my car was in and out of Giallo's with them trying to fix the oil leak. They've had it over a year now I think.
MC12?

I’m guessing you mean in the last 20 years? Personally, I’d put the MC Victory up there with it and even the Gransport. But I’d also say that a Strad doesn’t get close to an original Ghibli or a 3500/5000 GT in the desireability stakes when considering the entire Maserati back catalogue.
(Off topic)...
Geoff, If I remember correctly, you are in Gods county, Essex (as am I).. I assume you taking your car to Giallo this woud be the best Maserati independent close to Essex?
It must be an age thing as I now prefer Classics to moderns although I will probably always have a modern motor around.I'm not a classic car fan and they just don't move me or make me want to drive them but understand why lots want to......I know the E Type Jaguar is suppose to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made but it just doesn't move me. Perhaps I need to be 10 years older. MC Victory as well yes......Two of my favorite Maserati's without a doubt.
Really? Surely not. A Strad must be more like 1855kg. Can't be the same weight as a 4200 or GS can it?Incidentally, a 2 seater Strad weights less than a GS...with the carbon brakes, 4.7 450hp and a faster gear change
Strad: 1670kg
GS: 1680kg
any pics?Wished I had kept my 04 360 Modena F1 with all its Goodies on that I bought for £39,000 a perfect car for two people that sounded amazing.
WOW, stunning. Both
Maserati's own figures state the kerb weight at 1,800Kg. Whereas, other models, albeit Wiki-weights, are:Really? Surely not. A Strad must be more like 1855kg. Can't be the same weight as a 4200 or GS can it?
