1999 Maserati 3200 GT

Highlights

  • Only 50,400 miles from new
  • Comprehensive service history up to 39,995 miles
  • Recent mechanical upgrades with all bills available

The Appeal

Introduced in 1998, Maserati's new flagship was almost like a summation of the company's finest assets. Italian styling, four-door comfort, and, of course, a 3.2L V8 powerplant all came together to make this a particularly special car - a truly prestigious grand tourer that comfortably rubbed shoulders with Jaguar and Porsche.

This fabulous example comes to us with an extensive service history and a striking colour scheme. Over £7,000 has been spent in recent years, and we understand the car to be in fine working order. The 3200GT is still a highly desirable Italian classic, and we're confident this one will impress the lucky new buyer.

The vendor tells us: "This car is an amazing experience to drive with beautiful balanced handling on new pirelli tyres and outstanding performance even by modern standards, the cockpit gives a level of comfort and feeling of something special that only Maserati could produce. Having slumbered for several years and now recommissioned with care including oils, tyres and cambelt etc this car is ready to give the next owner great pleasure in owning."
