Pretty sure that Keith Flint's car was different? No Decals and Black Wheels? Plus he signed the boot/frunk? Would be worth a bit more than the Ashgood car if it was his old one. Still, that's a very rare and very tidy car, low mileage 987 Spyders are very hard to find these days, especially ones not white or black.

100% same car. Signed in the front of the service book

I was wrong, it's certainly a lovely car, prefer it with the silver wheels over the black, I'd be shocked if it's not yet sold. As for prices of ex celebrity cars, plenty of precedence for them having a premium, if only for the signatures involved with the car, Keith Flint was a legend.

All good thank you. The GTS looks great, enjoy.

Yeah, he is enjoying it but getting to understand Maserati ownership. This years Le Mans ended with a tow truck being involved! Hour away from St Malo so electronic issue with gearbox. Got him to the port and left there overnight. Next day, no hint of an issue.

I told him he should have got a Porsche. Slightly more predictable!

Called in to La Suze this year for a coffee but no one around. La Flèche has become new base as much I like the little village. Lovely accommodation and a bit more choices for eating.

Did it bring you more success with attracting other humans who you might find to be desirable?

[james28]

:-) :-) No
But it helped me to get a great suntan while doing 3000 miles around the Alps

Without wishing to ignite an angry debate over gearboxes….

If you haven’t already driven a manual 987 Spyder, I feel it is transformative in terms of the experience.

[james28]

Yes thats what I thought too hence me now looking at a manual car 987 or 981
