Big up for the Gransport

[meridian]

I pulled my early 2004/54 plate Gransport out of winter slumber today..

What an absolutely fabulous car, seriously must be one of the very most under valued genuinely exotic cars ever..

Build quality is superb, the Ferrari built motor sublime, and the chassis quite wonderful

I've had 355/360/456/DB9/993 and 996 Turbos/Noble M12/Tuscan/Tamora + a lot more besides etc...The Gransport is a fraction of the cost of any of them, and honestly as good as most. and better than some...

For balance, today I have driven the Gransport, but also 2.8i Capri, Sapphire Cosworth, and McLaren 12C, so an eclectic mix

The Gransport is an epic car, and compares to cars 3 or 4 times it's value

I'm just glad I have one...

Swapped mine for a DB9. Regret it instantly. The Gransport is special beyond its value for sure.

Couldn’t agree more. The Gransport has that raw, special feel that modern stuff just can’t replicate. That Ferrari V8, the noise, the way it dances on a good road… all for silly money now. You’ve had some serious machinery, so if you rate it that highly, that says everything. Enjoy it while the world’s still sleeping on them.

been harping on about it being underappreciated (and undervalued) for ages..... but I still have not bought one. Somehow just never had a use case for it - but maybe in the future.

People were saying they were undervalued when they were £25-30k 16 years ago when I got this

I have always thought that these looked absolutely stunning and the soundtrack is something else again. I keep looking at them and getting so so very tempted. Reading the opening thread and to be honest the subsequent ones make me want one even more now!

To be fair ours was great when we used it. Touring Europe via several MotoGPs and it was faultless.

The last few years we had it we hardly used it, we bought the Z4M, Covid arrived, and then looking after mum it simply got left in the garage and the niggles started to creep in.

It still cost less than leasing a C-class, that's my math and I'm sticking to it
