I see this often when out and about with work.
It’s not moved for a while by the looks of the ground round it.

A normally aspirated Japanese import that seemingly hasn't moved for 10 years - I don't know what the market is like for the SZ models these days but I presume the values haven't dropped and they're seeing some increase due to the rise in the twin turbo prices, even in that state... with the horrific Veilside kit on 
Currently in Paris and spotted these two Maserati parked by the side of the road seemingly very unloved.
It's a bit of a weird location because it's in a very big gated community with very expensive houses and very few cars parked on any of the roads so I'm surprised that the residents haven't had them towed away.
One of them has a steering lock fitted which is odd because the tires are almost completely flat

I'm not totally up on my Maserati's but I think the top dark blue car is the 24v version called the 2.24 (the Biturbo name was dropped by this stage) and the silver car the "222 SE". Both c 1988. You can tell as the vents on the bonnet are one way on the 24 and the other on the 222. The vents suck air into the intercoolers on the silver car but on the 24v, they are there to vent hot air out of the engine bay.
The 560SEC nearest the camera has been stood out in the open for more than 10 years.
The droopy S Class in the background is actually MOTd so is probably a runner but the MOT history is hilarious. A list of faults year in year out, the cost to put right would probably have paid for a new S class and a massive haircut along the way - or a mistype but seems to be closing in on 300k miles

I imagine the owner has three cars - one of which he uses and these two are the spare parts supply. When I investigated these Maseratis some years back the "ownership prospect" didn't look attractive at all. Which is a shame. (Or a Shamal.)

Shame to see it left there. They are great car!! Anyone who says otherwise either just doesn't like them, or bought a duff one.

Personally I would make contact with the car park company listed on the note, ask them if they have or intend to acquire ownership (which is a possibility if they are looking to recover costs for the amount of time it has been there) then if they are offer to buy it from them, at the very least they should know who owns it by now as they would have good reason for the DVLA to release the V5 details to them
