The Appeal
The Granturismo could only really be a Maserati. Slinky styling, sumptuous interiors and a rumbling V8 make these particularly Italian GTs. That each car is equipped with Ferrari’s F136 V8 dials up the appeal.
This pretty 4.2L car is finished in the rare colour of Bordeaux Red, a beguiling colour subtly alters in the light. It sits on recently refurbished black alloys and there is a matching black leather interior.
The vendor acquired the car in July 2023 and has continued the theme of sparing use and regular maintenance established by the previous three keepers. The car has now covered less than 40,000 miles and the recent work includes corrosion treatment of the subframe, servicing, new springs and bushes and fresh Bridgestone tyres. That noise of that 4.7L motor is enhanced by an X pipe exhaust.
The car has MOT to November 2025 and is reported to be in great order and fantastic fun to drive.
The vendor says:
“The car is overall unique and simply stunning, it turns heads amongst some of the newest sports cars, the colour is always a vocal point and the car is very responsive corners and straight lines. It sounds absolutely incredible with its updated X pipe exhaust giving it a loud throaty engine noise. Being a Granturismo can also fit 4 well sized adults in and has ability of child seats with isofix points. I love most the way it makes me feel when driving through a busy street and the fact you don’t have to go fast to enjoy it.”
