My new Vantage V8S specified exactly as I wanted it to a high spec almost 10 years ago came in at £94K on the road. Not sure how that equates in real terms today? And it had proper knobs and buttons and good **** like that.

Ridiculous really. How modern technology has helped us. Not.

Nice. Ross suits it well.

Actually GB50 was top of the range when I got it. I would think GB50 or GB70 would be fine.

Well worth having. I often use it at car shows to help others out as well. I have the top of the orange NOCO to cope with the V12 should it ever be needed. Not let me down yet.

As @Ewan kindly pointed out, my MC-Victory is for sale. Read the full ad and works done here: https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1412630 It will be serviced at Emblem shortly along with a new MOT. @conaero also completed a pre-emptive PPI late last year. Forum members can ignore the price...

You could do worse than to start here with the excellent @Nayf article featuring my car. https://drive-my.com/2006-maserati-gransport-mc-victory-special-edition-was-inspired-by-the-mc12/ MC-Victory is really a model in its own right and the very best iteration of the Gransport. Needs to be...

Have you seen Fuji in the flesh? It can be stunning but does not wear well it seems and as Zep suggests is a bugger to match. As the car is close to you then you can judge for yourself of course. Silver is often overlooked as a colour but is surprisingly rare on the GS and GT and shows the...

I have convinced myself I get better fuel economy with V-Power or Esso Premium and I hate Ethanol so the extra cost is justified in my opinion. Seems a small price to pay to be sure. On oil, I only use trusted garages and trust them to make the right judgement call on which oil to use.

MOT on one of mine last week revealed 19 miles travelled. The MOT station is 9 miles away. Even for me that is terrible.

Oh, that is a new trick to me. Will give that a try

Thank you. It is indeed another car that won't be made again. Get them whilst you can.

Yes I have placed it with Williams as it is a specialist car and I think requires a specialist dealer. They are very good to deal with and one of the few dealers I recommend. Your mis-fuel story does not surprise me. They have stopped the Lotus franchise as it was becoming more onerous to be a...
