I'd take that...with a bit more cash for servicing.
Always had a soft spot for Maseratis.

Fuck me, that's especially horrid!Taipan wrote: Wed May 06, 2026 12:08 pm The 2002 Ford Thunderbird is a modern reimagining of a 1950s American classic. With its retro-inspired styling and V8 power, it was designed to capture the spirit of the original Thunderbird while still being very much at home in the early 2000s.
This particular example started life in Connecticut, USA, before making the journey over to the UK in 2009. Since then, it’s been lightly used and well looked after, eventually finding its way to us here at Bridge Classic Cars, where it has been recommissioned and prepared for its next chapter.
Our Thunderbird has a 3.9-litre V8, paired with an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive. This car has a traceable story for large parts of its life, and this could easily be a comfortable and enjoyable daily drive for the lucky winner of this competition.
3.9-litre V8
Practical and usable
Recently recommissioned

Up to £250 towards a 12-month insurance policy from insurance specialists, Lancaster Insurance Services

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
Sounds like the best (read only) way to own a Maserati is to win one! I'm reminded of the saying if you want a Maserati, buy two. One to drive and one for spares!

Yeah, below the high-tide mark on Camber Sands beach.

My mate has a company Maserati, it was his dream car and he’s the CEO for a royal family members private businesses so he’s had Maseratis for a few years now. When I meet him for coffee he’s usually not in it because it’s being repaired.Count Steer wrote: Thu May 07, 2026 8:55 amI would have had one (egged on by my Mrs!) as a company car...but it wasn't an option on the list.Taipan wrote: Thu May 07, 2026 8:36 am Sounds like the best (read only) way to own a Maserati is to win one!

There was nothing very compelling on the list at all but one colleague bought a s/h 911 and took the car allowance cash as a servicing fund (he had the car serviced by a Porsche main dealer so he probably had to top up the fund). He eventually quit due to stress and trained to be a professional French polisher...and was very happy...but I suspect the Porker mutated into a Transit

I thought the current Stellantis cars were supposed to have got some of the reliability issues sorted (but also made the offerings a tad unexeceptional at the same time).IccyV2 wrote: Sat May 09, 2026 4:01 amMy mate has a company Maserati, it was his dream car and he’s the CEO for a royal family members private businesses so he’s had Maseratis for a few years now.

They've had periods where their output has been downright ugly too. I guess the magic is in the name and it lingers on from the days of Fangio but there have been a few v desirable ones on the, rather rocky, journey.
I guess it may be a bit like 'never meet your heroes' - owning a Maserati would kill the desire.

Re: Online competitions for cars, bikes and tech goodies.
Good man.
I was considering it as a family pool scooter, but only my daughter currently uses the one we have (an electric Yamaha) so it would sit there unused probably.
Nice looking things.
I had an SR50 years ago for the same thing, just zipping about on and it was great.

I love scoots and `I'd love that one, but probably not the best thing to leave parked up in London all day, so i'll have to pass.
