Hello all,
I recently bought my first Maserati, a 3200GTA. Having lurked on the site for a couple of weeks,  I thought it was about time I introduced myself.
I retired about five years ago when I turned fifty-five, and I have no regrets about doing so.  My first career was as a Learning Resources Technician in a college in Manchester. My second career was as a manager of pubs, clubs and hotels, and I travelled as far north as Kingston-U-Hull, and as far south as Mansfield.
I have wanted a Maserati ever since I saw Stirling Moss driving one when I was a child.  I hope to have a lot of fun with my 3200, and will be looking forward to attending some of the events.
Cheers everyone,
Tony

Hi Tony,

Welcome aboard, I hope you will enjoy your car as much as we enjoy ours. You should post some pictures of the car?

Sunny Bolton? - Born and bred there - on Church Road as it happens probably not a million miles form Eskrick St. I don't recall much Sun but certainly had plenty of fun there as a kid

Escaped about 25 years ago to Sunny Cheshire

Welcome Tony, I used to walk past a Biturbo everyday going to school that's where it all started for me. After just over a year I'm still smiling.

Not if you're a Trotters fan!

If you have a shop I'll call in when I next get a chance to visit the old stomping ground - family are still around the area so get back now and then.

Welcome Tony from Oldham

If you lurked on the site for a couple of weeks before posting in late July 2011, you probably acquired your first Maserati about the same time as me.
I'm just over the hill near Glossop, so if you fancy a trip into deepest north Derbs for a meet-up and cuppa drop me a PM and I'll sort something out...

All the Best
Paul

Good to hear there is some local ownership, I'm in Derbyshire, just coming to grips with ownership of my 3200, it's being mended at the moment, a moderate drive seems to have killed the oil pump which resulted in a lorry ride to a guy at Huthwaite (they would only take it to a garage within 10 miles), 3 weeks ownership and only 3rd time out! Hope it proves to be a little more reliable over time, still love the looks, sound and response from people, could have spent twice as much and had half as much interest, people just seem to love them.

Hello Rich

Bad time to get a failed oil pump just before Christmas - this period is expensive enough...
Send me a PM with your location and we'll maybe get together with a few others once you're mobile again.

I keep in touch with Slatie who runs his GS Spyder from South Derbyshire way and we could find somewhere mid-way 'tween us all.
Have a great New Year from up here in Glossop.

Paul [4200 CC Coupe]

Hi Tony, I'm new myself but have already found everyone helpful and friendly! So Welcome, welcome. Anyone based in Scotland? I'm in Aberdeen, think there is maybe one other Quattroporte and one or two 4200s. Cheers guys
