Looks OK, the odd age related issues but I have seen worse. I certainly can see me getting one of these in the next year or so, ticks a lot of boxes.

It’s not perfect, but whether it’s a good deal will depend on the sale price I suppose! We do try to highlight all the issues we can.

The Maserati Quattroporte was first revealed in 1963. It was the first production Maserati with more than two doors and also the first to be powered by a V8 engine. The Pietro Frua designed, full-sized sports saloon kicked off an almost unbroken run of this luxury car which is now well into its...

I bought the 4200 at same auction - this QP was quite a mess up close - ding on passenger side, scrapes on bumpers and interior was rough - very optimistic description on historics!

How is that 4200? Recent clutch is reassuring, although I would not replace the clutch right before selling!

Thankfully I was in person so got to poke and check history file - it had a clutch about 30k miles ago… so I wasn’t gonna go much more than what I paid with this in mind :) not what I’d call recent clutch… beware these historics descriptions :) The car had sold at the two prior auctions to online bidders (14k &11k I think) and both non paying bidders… I was in the room against online bidders… online went 7, I went 8, online when 8200 - auctioneer looked miffed - I went 8400 and he dropped the hammer before online had time to respond ;) I get the feeling they had had enough.. and they have action underway for the 10% fees for the non paying so prob just wanted shot!

Loving it so far - one breakdown (no gear selection) and excuse to get myself x431 and a better lifting solution which I picked up today :):). Love a challenge ;)

Hi,
how do you like the Quickjack so far? Which model did you get?

I have been on the fence about this or a mid-rise scissor lift for ages.

I actually bought a very similar vehicle a few years back based on a Toyota Crown

Of course, I should have thought that you would be in the market for such a vehicle.

I like the lights inside. Stops the occupant sensing claustrophobia

Extra lift height and ability to drive over for a couple hundred more, also tempting.
BTW totally green with envy about your barn/workshop, looks excellent on all the photos you post.

Your envy is justified. To make you really sick, it's in a lovely setting too.
