Hi all,

I used Bill McGrath's for pretty much everything I have done on the GS. I've had the pleasure of meeting Andy and his team a number of times and am always pleased to speak with people who clearly love the marque, old and new.

I was speaking to Andy at Auto Italia at Stanford Hall (whist getting soaked!) and he had mentioned they were looking at doing an open day.

I've not seen anything official on it at present, but I understand the chosen day is Saturday 4th August .

It'll be an informal affair but if you like your Maserati's, particularly the older stuff, I would say it'll be well worth a look.

So, details:

When?
Saturday 4th August 2012 - times TBC

Where?
Unit 8, Claggy Road
Kimpton
Hertfordshire
SG4 8QB

What? Basically, if you want to come, please add your name to the list on this thread. It'll be a casual day, but Andy and his team would like to know numbers so please add your name if you plan on attending.

For those of you that don't know Bill McGraths (seriously? you're on a Maserati site and you haven't heard of Bill McGrath!? :)), this is their site: http://www.classicmaseratis.co.uk/

Synonymous with the marque Maserati for over thirty-five years now, Bill McGrath Limited are the UK's premier specialists in classic and modern Maserati's. We are also leading suppliers of Maserati spare parts to a worldwide audience. As a company, we pride ourselves on high quality engineering and good old-fashioned customer service.

I am not connected with Bill McGraths, other than being a happy customer.

They are Good Guys got my rear silencers for my 4200 from them and they supplied me my new service book as the original was full for a fraction of the cost from other dealers.

I would have liked to have attended this. McGrath are my closest specialist independent. They replaced a faulty reverse lever on my car, did a fine job and were friendly and attentive throughout. Unfortunately. I'm busy that day....

:(

....attending the final day of the Olympic rowing!!!!!!

I spoke to Andy on Friday and he said it will be between 10:00 and 14:00.

I've known Bill McGraths from the early '90s when Bill McGrath still owned it. We stumbled across them when a mate of mine was looking for a Biturbo. Andy was super helpful and was instrumental in my friend finding a beautiful condition Swiss import one. He always had it serviced by them and over the years I met Andy many times and was always taken by their commitment to the marque. At one point he bought my Lancia Y10 turbo from me. That was over fifteen years ago; and to give you some idea how good their customer awareness, and love of all things Italian is, when I rang him on Friday, first time speaking to him in fifteen years, when he came on the phone he asked "Would this be about a Y10?".



I'll be there :)
