After months of pestering the many knowledgeable people on the Porsche forum about the 911 TT, we ended up buying a Maserati last week smile I have been deliberating for months on the 911TT vs. Gransport and actually got close on a car when this stunning MC Victory come up for sale. It was an easy decision, it made the standard Gransport that little more special and we had to have it.

So here she is, bought in London and driven north to Aberdeen last week. A fun drive but the seats were hell on a long motorway trip. They are brilliant for short runs which is when they are in their element. Love the car - the sound, the style, the interior and especially how she drives.

That looks like a beautiful example, enjoy! I find my regular GS is brilliant, I had her on the school run one day and on vmax the next, versatile with soul and personality. Must go for a drive again tomorrow....

Hi Michael,

I found your photos when I was scouring the net for any info I can find at all on the MCV, lets say I was surprised when I found the,. The previous owner lived in central London and I am guessing he parked it in the street where you got the pics. It sure looks different when dirty!

Thanks for all the comments, glad you have enjoyed the pics. She certainly is a great car to drive and a thrill every time we take her out.

Cheers
Simon

What's the difference between a victory version and the regular model?

Wow, that is stunning. Also possibly explains the text I had from a friend who thought they saw me the other week, I have a black Assetto Corsa.


Hope to see you out and about sometime.

Michael,

Yes 60/180 is correct.

Some basic I am aware of:
Leather and Alcantara interior trim
Racing seats with carbon fibre structure
Faster steering rack
Front and rear spoilers in carbon fibre blue
External grills in black
Carbon fibre paddles
Centre console and tranmission tunnel in blue carbon fibre
Wing mouted Tricolore badge
Three spoke steering wheel and centre console trimmed in blue carbon fibre

The seats really are magnificent things. The blue weave carbon fibre used throughout the interior adds a nice touch of uniqueness too. Oddly the MCV uses a clutch with a different part number to a standard GS so there are differences in the gearbox but Maserati has not promoted these. Other comments I have read suggest the suspension is lower, I dont know about that but it sure handles very tightly. I suspect the differences on these cars are still being discovered as they get older and fall into the hands of enthusiasts but only 11 remain in the UK.

Cheers
mondie

Hi Allan, are you another Aberdeenshire local? Your car looks lovely, you never see GS around here, no shortage of other exotics though!
