Be good to get a report on the London Classic Car show Tony. See if you can get near the 250f and get any images.

They do seem to be going backwards with the Ghibli in this country.

I agree, why not bring a Trofeo Ghibli in.

[Graham Wood]

Just to add, I have also heard of this crowd http://www.bhpmsport.com/ (BHP Motorsport), no idea if they are any good or not, but they can service Maseratis.

Hi Stewart and welcome to the Club!

I would have suggested McGrath Maserati as they are near(ish) you just outside of Hitchin, but they currently only service up to the Quattroporte V, although it may be still worth giving them a ring.

If you fancy a drive, then take it down to Emblem Sports Cars in Poole. They do a Saturday morning clinic, and will put your car up on the ramp and give it a once over. Many in the Club use them and would recommend them.

Another option the other side of London is Giallo Cars in Tonbridge, again, well known specialists.

I posted it as a News article yesterday when I first saw it, so it is on the website as well…

Note it says MMXXI, so assume this is for BEV and the May this year launch may well incorporate a PHEV.

Sounds to me a little like a piglet has got caught in the drive train…

Even 10 year old QPVs are suffering. For some reason this particular model seems to be affected badly, and, as Tony says would reccommend it is essential to get some form of underbody treatment for them.

Just to add, if your car is a late 3200 you can get OBDII diagnostic code readers for not a lot (£15-£30 for decent ones) these days and get the error codes. It will have a standard OBDII cable with the 16 pin female connector hanging under the steering wheel. All cars produced after 1st Jan 2001 must have the latest OBDII standard (EOBDII – the European version).

I use an app on my phone connecting via Bluetooth to my OBDII reader – works a treat.

Yup, just listened to it. Have to assume that is the sound of the ‘mule’ at 422 Ciro Menotti.

Amazing what permanent magnet synchronous motors sound like these days…

or is it just the car’s stereo?

[Graham Wood]

Leaking details of their own cars…

I put an image of the rear end treatment in ‘News’…

Would be nice to hear the accompanying soundtrack (i.e. nothing at all then electric 😉 )…

[Graham Wood]

Thanks Chris, nice one.

[Graham Wood]

I did wonder about the other cars on the production line in the images I saw.

Chris, can you post the link to the video you saw? The only one I saw was the ‘official’ Maserati one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiMo3cAR5Q4

Interestingly, I was just looking back at some images of the Club Concours in 2010 and I saw this car in the general Club parking.

So it was owned by a Club member in 2010…

May be able to do a little research to find out who.

Will report more later

A true Marmite version. I love marmite, but not keen on this colour scheme.

Well, the factory has now closed it’s doors ready for the retooling for the next incarnation. A celebratory dinner (catered by Massimo Botura no less) was held for 100 lucky people along the production line.

[Graham Wood]

Interestingly (if you like that sort of thing!), there is a 3200 just 2 digits away from this one in the Club DB.

Even more interestingly ;), at Silverstone for the last two years the owner of a 3200 just 2 digits different to mine has been there – great to see them parked (nearly) together…

2019

2018

Spooky or what?

[Graham Wood]

None of those VRMs belong to any club member who has uploaded their 3200 to the Club Directory.
