the cost of working on these is one hell of a lot less than messing with Maseratis, so if you find one that needs a few monor jobs doing to get it back to 100% then it probably won't break the bank.
He knows what he's talking about - the Tony's previous car was a Maserati coupe (or was it the girly cab, chum?)  PS - Charlie - not showing a PM from you; try again? Or simply ask the question on the forum and I will PM you the answers back if I can help.

Thanks Harry - my email skills clearly lacking!
What did you think of the 2-tone car at SGT? I gather a couple of people on here have owned it but it seems you have a fair bit of experience from the buyer side
thanks
Charlie

It was a 3200GT - coupe only and Turbo only. One of the most hillarious experiences with a hard roof out there. Just NEVER turn off the TC in the wet.. (Lucklily I never did...).
I'm sure SGT's S1 is a good car - Julian sold me mine, and he knows his stuff!
I guess, if you're looking at using this everyday, then would it not be worth perhaps stretching a little to have the wider body and more refined experience of an S3? Or all that and a thumping engine with the S4.

Finally bought into the more sophisticated experience of the wide-bodied cars, eh mr_tony.  Just make sure you get one with side-pipes.  N.B. As they say in Harley circles: Loud pipes - save lives.

Later cars are still a lot dearer chaps! When the S3 hits £40k, I'll look at one myself...

 - I don't use mine every day. (Shame!) If I did, I'm sure I'd be in an S2/3/4 by now. As it is the S1 is a fantastic weekend car, and a very pure driving experience which I love. Ultimately (when I get the barn I need!) I'll be looking to have a GTN / S4 / V10 hooligan or whatever follows the S4. In the short term with one garage, a brace of V8's is enough for me. Though I might just have to swap the BMW in for an XJS or something with a little more soul. It's a fantastic car and the gizmo's are fun. But it's not that inspiring at the moment. Or maybe it's the 17.5mpg - which makes my sensible car worse mpg than the Aero!

35.6mpg out of my Seven series  and available now BtG PS what's all that talk about Girly cabs? Virtually every Morgans a cab, or are you all in GTN's and Aeromax's ? Anyhow, we've already established on another thread the advantages of a removable roof and some DMogging BtG
Cheers

I think in reference to the Maserati Spyder, as it was featured for a while in Desperate Housewives.... Still a pretty car, if somewhat dynamically hamstrung by the removal of the roof....
