2014 MASERATI GRANCABRIO SPORT

This Maserati GranCabrio Sport is an elegant and powerful four-seater open-top grand tourer. Under the bonnet is a 4.7-litre V8 producing 444bhp, driving the rear wheels via the six-speed MC Auto Shift gearbox. The odometer shows just 15,978 miles from new.

The GranCabrio Sport features upgrades over the standard model to make the car more involving and characterful. This includes the switchable sports exhaust that can be controlled by a button in the cabin, as well as a stiffer Skyhook adaptive suspension setup, and more powerful brakes. It also features various body styling and trim updates to give the car a more aggressive aesthetic.

This Maserati was first registered in March 2014 and has two previous registered keepers on the log book. The seller has owned the car for the last four years.

The Bianco Eldorado paintwork is in excellent condition with a glossy shine, and the seller reports no unsightly damage in the finish. An extensive set of photos is included in the gallery below, so bidders can review the condition in detail. The 20-inch Anthracite Grey ‘Astro’ alloys, unique to the sport model, are all in superb order.

The black triple-layered roof is in great shape with no marks or damage to the fabric. The folding mechanism works as intended, allowing the roof to open and close at speeds of up to 19mph, and the soft top fits snugly over the frame.

The interior presents well with the Nero leather showing no signs of damage, and no noticeable wear on the driver’s seat. The leather is accented by white contrast stitching throughout, and the front passenger and rear seats are also in very good condition.

The most recent maintenance was carried out at Dick Lovett in Swindon on 4 August 2020. This was a calendar oil and filter service at 15,900 miles. The calendar service before that was also at Dick Lovett, which also included air and pollen filters, and new auxiliary belts.

The most recent MOT was carried on 11 May 2020 at 15,186 miles. The vehicle comes with all the originally supplied paperwork including the service book and manual with pouch. Numerous invoices for servicing work are included, as well as some old MOT certificates. The unopened first aid kit is present in the boot alongside the Maserati tool kit and some unopened sponges and cloths.

This Maserati GranCabrio Sport is a refined but exciting sporting grand tourer, presented in excellent cosmetic and mechanical condition, and with low mileage. The GranCabrio Sport was praise by Harry Metcalfe in Evo magazine in 2011, who stated that it had “one of the greatest exhaust notes in world today”. This is an opportunity not to be missed if you are seeking a sophisticated convertible in which to enjoy the rest of summer – it is a car that is equally at home cruising around town as it is being unleashed on a fast-flowing A-road.
