Ironically, over the years, I have often found that the cognate Maserati part can be either cheaper than, or simply available in comparison to, the Alfa ricambi.

Is David Askew, the Maserati parts chap, still going? He’s dug me out of some parts holes with my S4 Spider and, IIRC, a Selespeed 156 GTA.

I'm not sure if Dave is still going, the last update on his website seems to be 2017. However Dave only really did Biturbo era cars and spares and then later into the 3200 & 4200 era, very little from the 70's and nothing in the 60's which the Ghibli is from.
He did a good job keeping the Biturbo cars on the road through a time when they were low in value and unloved.

A couple of photo's I forgot to post to complete fitting the rear suspension


Cutting off the rear transport frame I welded on about 10 years ago.




Frame removed and chassis preped ready for painting.


Rear spring shackles fitted.


Gratuitous photo of the Verdi Bossco paint.

Very nice. Incidentally, where did you get the Maserati sign from?

The Maserati banner was an e-bay find many years ago, ex-dealer but I was the only bidder as the seller listed it as a Masarati sign.
£10 well spent!
