2001 Maserati 3200 GT

We have here a very good example of the 3200GT (automatic version) with bright paintwork albeit with some minor abrasions which you'd expect from a car this age. 

Only 2,106 of these models were made and were mainly sent to Europe, so having the Automatic version here is fairly rare. 

The boomerang rear headlights look very appealing, it really is a great 4-seater sports car.

Cosmetically the Maserati emblem at the front of the car is tarnished and the air vents have a crack on either side, the paintwork is generally good for this age but there are slight signs of tarnish to the plastic and rubber along with the plastic front lights being crazed and the rear right break light having the plastic disformed over time.

Whilst the silver paintwork is excellent, there is some bubbling of paint by the door sills and some minor scratches to the paintwork.  Generally it doesn't look like the body work has not been touched where bonnet, boot and door panels match up.

The wheel rims have very little scratches and the tyres in good condition.

The dashboard has a bit of the Italian 'sticky knob syndrome' occurring on some of the dash panel pieces, and the leather on the handbrake as well as the gear lever showed signs of use. However, the clean Italian design allows for some simple yet effective lines.

The metal adjuster of the seats on the floor has signs of age as shown in the photos and the leather on the seats – being cream showed the usual scratches at the side. The rear seats in better condition.

A light carpet for a car that has enjoyed being driven, so these were clean yet understandably patina'd.  The grey carpet in the boot is in good condition

The air vent surround by the driver’s door showed signs of wear and a speaker cover is a little loose.

Steering wheel is clean without the Italian sticky feeling as on the dials on the consol. Seatbelts are in good working order and clean.

Great brakes and acceleration pedals both in physical appearance and intuitive and precise.

There is certainly some space provided in this car, for a start, you really can seat two full-sized adults comfortably in the back and you can carry most of their luggage too. This car is deceptive as it is 4.5 metres long. The boot space is a good size for a GT.

Apart from a repair to the throttle and a battery replacement, as far as the paperwork is concerned this car is as factory standard.

Undercarriage – there is some visible discolouration to the undercarriage as seen in the photographs and there are plenty to see so do take a good look.

This rear-wheel-drive vehicle has an even weight distribution, and the undercarriage is indeed sturdy on all aspects – do look at the photographs in the gallery.

After speaking to David, the owner, everything we have is shown in the documents attached in the gallery. Some service history is there with MoT reports plus a receipt for a repair to the throttle and a battery replacement, along with old MoT papers.

Maserati has received some grief for the build of their cars, but with so few 3200 GTA cars produced, they really thought hard about the transmission of this one. There's none of that Turbo lag that effected the older models.

We didn't quite feel Sir Stirling Moss, but did at least feel that we could get somewhere rather quickly and with the first LED lights created, have something to shine about.  Our estimate for this particular car is £11,000 - £16,000.
