Maserati Granturismo - BCA auction next week

[Baldinho]

Evening.

This is being auctioned at Blackbushe on 12th Jan in their prestige car auction and I quite fancy it. Anyone with trade knowledge got a view on what it will achieve?

nice looking ferrari 430 on autotrader - grigio silverstone (or similar) f1 12k miles, 64,995!

never heard of the garage and advert is a bit sparse so would take above with caution

About £15k more than it will do in three months I imagine ...

Yep, on 8/12/08. As was an 08/57 plate with 14753 miles that went prov at £48800.

[Baldinho]

Hmmm, methinks they may regret not taking the 48.5k t'other week. Thanks for your insight, I'll think I'll wait.

this one is an 08 plate with 7.5k miles, black (nero carbonio?) with rosso (corallo?) leather looking at the pic. leather could be bordeaux which is a bit calmer.

if you want to buy one of these this could be a way of saving 10k+ vs a dealer. as to the colour combination, not sure why so many have red leather the factory must have made a batch like this - i cant see that customer orders suddenly flocked to red. and it is very red if its the rosso!

i think if you got it at around 45k-50k (all in) it could be a good deal.

That is truly beautiful and had I the 'readies', I'd happily pay near £50k for it, but alas.......

The brochures depicted a silver car with red interior. I suspect that is the reason for the popularity of the red leather. Saw one in that combo recently in Glasgow - stunning!

i have silver/bordeaux on my spyder (see profile pic) - its a very cheery combination and very italian

Todays top bid was £51300 which was still provisional.

[Baldinho]

Thanks Banner for the info. Too rich for me. There's another coming through BCA in a week or so!

Wonder if this is where it's ended up. Says 20" inch alloys in the ad, but they're 19's - same as the auction car. Mileage close enough as well.
