2007 MASERATI GRANTURISMO

KEY FACTS

• A fully original, low-mileage example of the elegant Italian grand tourer, presented in very smart condition and fresh from a full service.
• Under the bonnet is the 399bhp naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, which drives the rear wheels via a six-speed ZF automatic transmission.
• The odometer displays just 39,703 miles from new.
• This Granturismo was first registered in November 2007, and was acquired by the seller two years ago.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Granturismo was specified with grey metallic paintwork over a black leather interior and is equipped with rear parking sensors, electrically adjustable front seats with memory function for the driver, satellite navigation, a premium Bose sound system and automatic climate control.
• It rides on the correct set of 20-inch ‘Birdcage’ alloy wheels, which are finished in matt black and are in great shape.
• The car will be accompanied by all of its original handbooks and its stamped service book.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Overall, the paintwork is in very good condition, and while there are a few minor blemishes including stone chips and light scratches on the door mirror caps, this is in line with the car’s age and road use. The bonnet and both doors have previously been resprayed to correct some small stone chips, scratches and patches of lacquer peel.
• Inside, the cabin presents well overall. There is light creasing on the front seat bolsters, scratches on the driver’s door pull, scuffs beside the driver’s electric seat controls and various minor marks on the interior plastic trim items.
• The surfaces of some buttons and switches have become ‘sticky’ where their factory coating has broken down with age. This is a common issue in cars of this era, and can be corrected by a number of specialists.
• There are no known electrical or mechanical faults, and there are no warning lights showing on the dashboard.
• The car’s last MOT test was conducted on 18 May 2021 at 39,294 miles, resulting in a first-time pass with one advisory noting slight play in the offside front upper suspension arm ball joint.

SERVICE HISTORY

• This Granturismo’s most recent routine maintenance was carried out in July 2021 at 39,540 miles by Italian car specialist Hangar 18 Automotive Technic, who performed a major service, which included an engine oil and brake fluid change, as well as replacement of the oil, air and cabin filters, plus the rear anti-roll bar drop links.
• Prior to this, the car was serviced in March 2019 and November 2016.
• During the seller’s ownership the rear coolant pipes have also been replaced, along with the battery, two of the rear parking sensors and all four tyres.
