2001 Maserati 3200GT Auto

Description

AMENDMENT Only 47,800 miles with 15 services to date, the last less than 400 miles ago when the cam belt was also renewed; current owner since 2015, an ex-Tyrrell racing driver from the 1960s 

First registered in February 2001, this Maserati 3200GT Automatic has covered only 47,800 miles to date and comes with a good service history comprising 14 stamps in the book, the last at 43,556 miles in May 2015 when the cam belt and tensioners were also renewed and the wishbone bushes were replaced. There is another invoice for an oil change in 2019 and additional service in May 2021 at 47,426 miles when the cam belt and idler bearings were renewed.

A good file of invoices details all the servicing carried out and shows additional maintenance with various new parts fitted over the years including a recored radiator and a full brake overhaul in 2016; new starter motor and throttle body refurbished in 2010; stainless steel sports exhaust silencers in 2007 which cost £947 plus fitting.

Finished in Azzuro Argentina with Avorio leather, it has all the usual Maserati luxuries including heated front seats. The V5C records 9 former keepers and it has been in the hands of the current owner (a well-known Tyrrell Formula 3 driver in the 1960s, former teammate of Jackie Stewart, and winner of the 1964 European Touring Car Championship) since 2015.

Supplied with its original handbooks in the original leather wallet, it has 18 old MOTs, the last of which expired on 24^th May this year with just one advisory for worn/pitted front brake discs and it has only covered 200 miles since. An original 44-page 3200GT sales brochure is also present along with a quality car cover.  

As you can see in the photos, this low-mileage Maserati looks most attractive and has been starting promptly and running well as we have moved it around on site with a rousing exhaust note.

NB: We did note that the oil pressure gauge shows the full 5 bar on start up but when the car has warmed up it drops to 2 bar and an 'Error oil' warning light comes on the dash (see last two photos). There is some reference in the recent invoices to a faulty oil sensor so this will obviously merit further investigation. 

AMENDMENT: We are advised by the vendor that the oil pressure on this car has been checked by a Maserati specialist and is healthy. The fault lies with the gauge. He also advises that there are spares worth c.£1,000 in the boot including nearly new front brake discs; water pump; idler etc.
