Whilst under the influence I got carried away on Pistonheads auctions and put a bid on a 1999 3200GT and won. Gulp.
Unseen. Gulp.
What could possibly go wrong?
(Please don’t answer the above)

I’ve had a 996 so know the feeling that any moment the engine will launch itself.

With this and the Quattroporte, Maserati were on a roll at the turn of the century.

Enjoy OP!

I used to do a bit with Sporting Bears and one guy had a lovely one of these in a baby blue type colour. Sounded awesome!

Congrats!

I looked at the 3200 but in the end went for the Gransport.

Running costs were more than I'd hoped, but less than I'd budgeted for.

I owned a 4200 cc for a few years and it wasn’t painful. I’d love a manual 4200 GT if I had room on the drive.

I adore the Gransport - prettiest Maserati of the last 30 years after the MC12, which is well .... a big euromillions away from reality. I never bought one, but have looked at them on and off for the last 15 years or so - not sure if that is still the case, but they were so cheap to buy in the UK for what they are when I last checked
