Description
For sale is my 2006(56) Maserati GranSport Spyder in Rosso Mondiale with a full Nero leather interior.
I’ve owned this GranSport Spyder for two years now and am only selling due to an accidental auction purchase and a consequential lack of garage space. It’s a wonderful and hugely special sports car which I'd planned to keep for a long time, and this is truly a reluctant sale.
Condition is excellent. The exterior presents very nicely, with no fading to the bold lustre of the red paint. The interior too is very nicely preserved - the matching red carpets remain unmarked, the usual sticky plastics were rectified by McGrath in 2023 and the leather shows no signs of undue wear. Mechanically, the car is flawless, and I welcome any specialist inspection. The last two services (both under my ownership) were carried out at renowned specialist McGrath Maserati who comprehensively inspected the car, and any advised work was undertaken. The car is booked in at McGrath for a major service and MOT this month (November 2025), and any advised work will be completed at the same time. As such, the next owner will be getting a car that shouldn't need a single penny spent on it for quite some time.
I have always kept the car in a Carcoon Veloce in my garage and it has only ever been driven in dry conditions. A previous owner treated and sealed the underside of the Spyder and it remains clean and protected from corrosion as a result. All major wear and tear items are in fine fettle, with the brake discs and clutch each only having covered a couple of thousands miles since replacement. Clutch wear was at a mere 13% when it was last checked 2, 000 miles ago. The gear changes are commendably smooth and quick (and much more impressive than Aston’s automated manual boxes of the same period, it must be said).
I have kept a log of all journeys, evidencing regular use, and only ever filled up with premium petrol, mainly Esso Supreme 99 for its zero-ethanol content. In addition to the original red mats, also included is a set of high-quality black mats for touring.
The only negatives are as follows:
-Between my purchasing the car and going to collect it, the supplying dealer managed to chip one of the rear wheels and I never got round to having it repaired.
-The hood fabric is fraying slightly in the usual spot (where tension pulls the hood against the frame). Please see pictures.
Photos are a mixture of professional and my own – the distinction should be clear!
