Believe me I wont as I dont beleive in 'garage queens'.
Anyway I picked it up last night. I had been pondering as to whether I was right to part with the Maserati, but the moment I drove it away all those fears washed away. The noise, the feel the looks are just fantastic.
I am a very happy man today
Pictures Mal, we need to see pictures of this gorgeous beast!

Simon,
I have had the car for nearly 18 months now and it is great.
I have had a few minor problems - brake caliper ceased, new alternator (upgraded) and an electrical short that was caused by the installation of the alternator. All of these faults were sorted without question under the one year warranty given to me by Foskers, from who I bought the car. You have to remember that it is a 30 year old car and therefore you cannot expect total reliability.
The car is a delight to drive, and the noise it makes at 7500 rpm (chain driven) is unbelievable. The balance is amazing and it corners on rails which is incredible for a car on such tall tyres.
I have the GTS which is to me the best experience and once it is warmed up you can easily drive it around on a cold day with the roof off and not get cold.
It is plenty fast enough for todays roads, and the performance is so useable that it will keep up with most things on normal and twisty roads.
Mine is definately not a garage queen and has been used regularly through summer and winter (except on the roads when salted)
If you are seriously looking for a Dino then there appear to be two real specialists in Dino - Foskers in the south and Nick Cartwright in the North.

Mal,
Thanks for this. I've spoken to a few people in the business and they all seem to think its a great car, with little to worry about, if I pick a good one. It'll be an emotional experience i'm told, not sure if they where refering to reliability or cost of repairs.
Probably both!
