NeilMH Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Sold XK8 to a dealer - pretty good to deal with - realistic but acceptable price. Mainly they are an independent Maserati specialists, who sell other sports and "prestige" cars as well..........but for now I am keeping my powder dry. The XK8 was being underused I didn't quite love it enough to justify keeping it (whilst bearing the cost of making sure it was properly maintained). A highly competent and great looking car but not enough magic there for me. We will see in a year's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 ADG Sevenoaks. I don't know what next but I want something that gives a sense of excitement one way or another. Cant afford to do anything for now. I was going to say if it's just for a weekend blast then what about a Caterham but I see you've had a few of those, ...in which case Commander might actually be on the money with the TVR shout. Plenty of time to ponder your options whilst you save up then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Left knee pretty messed up. Needs to be auto/semi-auto. Always fancied a Maserati but not an option right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrhh, forget the TVR's then as they will murder you. My old man who's had several TVR's had to get rid of his last one as it was just killing his back getting in & out of it. If it was me I'd make a list of what I really want and try to see what fits into that spec for my budget. Could always post it on here as you know we all love a good "What car should I buy with £xx amount of money?". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I was looking at Maseratis before I got the TVR; never test drove any but they get pretty poor reviews on the Gearbox front. Excellent theatre and drama though. Cayman S / 911 / 911 Turbo with a decent exhaust and aero kit? Still a bit anonymous though. Motorbike? V12 Vantage? Suppose it depends upon budget and what excites you? Raw power, classy refinement, handling, noise, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 If you decide you do want a Maserati at any point drop me a pm and I'll sort you out with a proper top notch indie specialist. Literally every car he sells is well sorted.....if there's a problem it's sorted and pretty much all come with a very comprehensive warranty.
