Glazed rear end containing lights was the clue. I dream of finding such things!

Does anyone recall not so many years back maybe 8-10, someone dug out a light metallic green Maserati Khamsin from a garage, very late model maybe A reg/83, RHD amazingly and very low mileage. It was up for auction with either a guide or hammer price of £15k. Although a bit dirty it was otherwise pretty damn nice!

I recall the event distinctly because the national press tapped onto it for some reason, in a "what kind of looney would pay money for this old thing" kind of storyline. Well me for a start if I hadnt missed the auction by a couple of days!

Quite literally the whole classic car balloon seemed to go up almost immediately afterwards, almost by weeks with the whole "barn find" auction mania increasing exponentially.

EDIT: just found it, the Khamsin was actually an 85/C reg, read and weep;

XJS lying in Laxay (few miles from Stornoway)
Not sure if bonnet mounted luggage rack will catch on.

The Maserati is in deepest darkest Norfolk. I will try and get a better pic when I’m up that way again.

I'm guessing that XJS used to be red.

The Scottish sun has got to it......

Sand blasted on Lewis would be more likely.

That was a favourite colour of 911s a while ago. Called Guards Pink, I think
