Pic of the day

I did a holiday in RoW many years ago, a lovely place

Not so sure about your lunch though!

Absolutely delicious and spicy with the hot Chorizo.

The Maserati of all Maserati‘s and the crown jewel of the collection according to Giovanni Panini -the 420M

Corrected that for you

Ross on Wye is getting a bit posh! Used to be that a night out there involved a fight or relations with a sheep. If you smell of sheep dip they’re the only options!

Happy 30th Birthday glad to have had the pleasure back in 2012

Bit of Lambo nostalgia...

Mr.Pininfarina with one of his masterpieces...

I couldn’t not take a photo of that, it was real paint too, not a wrap. Part of me wanted to sit there until the owner returned just to see what they looked like.

Here you go.

Also spectacular - I missed their proper 250F as it was out somewhere…but I was just quoting Giovanni Panini

And the third QP 1 I saw in 2 days. - this time at a workshop - where I saw something very special, but wasn't allowed to take pics. The only 2 Frua 5000GT’s - one built for the Aga Khan and the other owned at some stage by a Saudi king. The 5000GT, with a racing engine developed for the 450S, was right at the top of what you could buy in those days. The heydays of Maserati? An interesting story of the Frua 5000GT’s here:

They were restoring a Ghibli 1 Spyder and there was another “iconic” car, that some of us here would have seen on the forum at some stage, the 320S aka 3200 GT Monoposto so it was a real candy store - ok here you go I might as well post it, how many interesting cars can you spot?

Bottom pic I'll take the Bora, Indy and Ghibli please... and is that a Mistral to the right of the Ghibli...?

Those coachbuilt 5000GTs are all beguiling in their different ways, I wonder how many of them have ever been in the same place at the same time...? To see both of the Frua cars must have been rather special.

Yes that’s a Mistral, silver with red interior complete with original luggage - it’s for sale….. and you can just about spot the Ghibli Spyder on the right past the QP.
