The Maserati 3200GT was styled by Italdesign whose founder and head, Giorgetto Giugiaro, previously designed, amongst others, the Ghibli, Bora and Merak and so it certainly had an impressive pedigree. Sold mainly in Europe, the 3200GT shared the twin-turbo, 3.2-litre, V8 featured in the Quattroporte IV and Shamal, now revised and tuned to 365bhp. The tail-light design consisted of LEDs arranged in the shape of a boomerang with the outer layer of the 'boomerang' providing the brake lights and the inner layer the directional indicators.

Manufactured new in 2001, the 3200 GT offered was supplied new by Five Oaks in Jersey and first registered there on the 12^th of January that year as ‘J35672’. Finished in metallic Silver with Black leather interior upholstery, the Maserati is fitted with automatic transmission. Covering minimal mileage while there, ‘X997 VAF’ reached the shores of the United Kingdom in 2007 with its second owner having covered just c.27,000 miles. Retained by the second owner for a further five years, the Maserati was then acquired by the vendor who is a self-confessed Maserati enthusiast. Notably well maintained while in his ownership, with the fluids and filter changed annually by him always using specialist Selenia oil.

Subject to much improvement while in the vendor's ownership, the work completed has included two cambelts, an auxiliary belt, platinum plugs, stainless rear exhaust, throttle pedal potentiometer, throttle body conversion (by David Askew), knock sensors, crank sensor, and ceramic coating. Recently completing a 2,800 mile tour around Europe (in September 2022) without issue, the trip took in ten countries and included a return to the factory in Modena and Stelvio Pass. Shod with Pirelli P Zero tyres all round, the Maserati is offered with its original toolkit, original compressor, rare optional spare wheel, and an Auto Additions indoor car cover is included.

Accompanied by a history file that includes numerous previous MOTs, a large collection of invoices, the original book pack including the owner’s manual and stamped service book which illustrates four services with all of them completed by main dealers and four further professional servicing invoices from main agents and specialists, Certificate of Conformity, a current V5C document. ‘X997 VAF’ is offered with a no advisory MOT certificate until July 2024. Well-maintained examples are few and far between, but this example has been by the fastidious vendor.
