no red key....

mel's knickers under the passenger seat...

must say, would have expected the plate to remain on the car in view of what it was...

flashers had done 42k IIRC when he flogged it

Thanks Phil.

This car HAS got a red key. Maybe this was sorted out post Andy having the car.

I'll see the guy some time today so will ask him.

dunno mate. might have been. However, the replacement costs that were talked about for the red key and the p/x value of the car being so low with the mileage I would have been surprised if it was worth spending out that sort of money on the red key when you wouldnt get it back on resale.

i cant believe how happy i am with my car !
waited 16 years for a supercar so to speak and the 3200 does not disappoint !
I wish to add the service from Modena hampshire was %100 and above !
Excellent service, excellent approach and faultless assistance.
This company has restored my faith in car dealerships.
I highly recommend this company.
We even were allowed a test drive in a 360 convertible! which convinced me to place an order for the 430 on friday.
I love my 3200 even with any potential faults! went out to the garage during last evening to just sit in her and take in the overall "experience" of the interior and "atmosphere" !
Just checked the log book and its previous owner was Paul Smith (fashion designer) - for me this does not get better than this !
I am trying to figure out how to load up pics - when i do they will be on here.
thanks for reading this article.

Pete, hats off to you. 16 years without a supercar, and then you buy 2 within a few weeks of each other

Mr Tony, I think the time has come for another meet. What do you say?

agreed Nick, the PH maserati force grows stronger!

Thoguht of a few options :

1. In true PH tradition we could meet for pie in a pub somewhere.

2. Daytrip to france, booze run sort of thing? Be fun to get a convoy of Maseratis moving at speed for a while!

3. Good photo session at a nice country house - good crisp spring morning with 10+ 3200's in a row would look amazing...

4. Go the whole hog and do a "MaserHoon" next summer and drive down to Moderna and back, factory tour etc

Just a few thoughts that have been rumbling around my head, some if not all unrealistic but might provoke some ideas from the rest of the board?

Hi there,

I test drove a 3200gt at Hampshire think it may have been yours about 4 weeks ago. If its the same car your a lucky git, I would have bought it but my personal circumstances are changing every day, bummer.

Enjoy the car

Thanks Jeremy.

Having been out in it now (nice!), the car in question has 14K on the clock, 1 previous owner and a nice dark red interior.

My man is "delighted" with the car!

Rich,

To be honest, number 1 sounds most feasible possibly with a visit to a nice place for a photo.

Whilst I'm up for 2, I suspect most people won't be.

Re. no.4, let's have a word about that on Saturday.

No 1 is the best bet to be sure Nick, but I was just doing a brain dump in case it inspired anyone else.

Just trying to think of a nice venue for photos, a good stately home a la Blenheim palace would be cool perhaps?
