Maserati 3200GT

We had tentatively reserved the 911 for a short visit to Oban - Mull - Ardnamurchan - Borders, but thought it would more likely be the 928. We were of course absolutely delighted to learn we would be the ‘guinea pigs’ for the resurrected Maserati 3200GT. The car is very much a Grand Tourer, the kids were more than happy and comfortable in the rear and we were thrilled sitting in the front (it even has a decent boot).

The car itself is a beauty. The sensitive throttle combined with 400 horses under the bonnet and a couple of turbo chargers thrown in, does make things very interesting but doesn’t take too long to get used to. At around 3000 RPM the car bursts into life and is awesome. The Maserati was also very popular with bystanders with quite a few redirecting cameras to get a shot of the car. The car itself never missed a beat over the 3 days we had it. The only worrying moment we had was when our B&B host saw the car and told us she was going to get the baby oil out and roll about on the bonnet. I bet the insurance doesn’t cover that.
