I appear to have bought another Maserati!

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.

awesome - I love those (have never driven one though)
very cool car, congrats

don't worry about unseen - I bought my last 8 cars or so unseen, just wired the money for one this week and hope it shows up and my place next week ....

Gorgeous car.
Congratulations OP.
Will watch with interest.

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

Enjoy OP!

Congratulations.

We keep looking at another, but then sanity takes over

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 just sold my 996 3.4 and bought a 1999 3200GT. Absolutely love it.

Congrats to you and hope you are enjoying it as much as I am

Both great cars, but good lord your wallet must be taking a pounding.

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.

Congratulations!
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
