I appear to have bought another Maserati!

[lrdisco]

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 ....

[Lincsls1]

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

[Austin_Metro]

I think this an excellent purchase!

It’s only money! It’s still a cracking looking car.

[M138]

Good choice op.

I’ve got a Spyder GT manual in Verde Goodwood. I love the colour.

[lrdisco]

Well that’s started badly.

[V12 Migaloo]

Oh dear...... I feel your pain but you did know though that it was, as some point, inevitable... what happened...?

[ex-devonpaul]

Bu66er - barely 3 weeks in.

On the plus side the truck will use less fuel
