| The
Maserati
Resource Centre ("MRC" for short)
provides a
central focus for information on Maserati
cars, people and events. The site has been running since May 1996
and now contains a wealth of technical
articles, a parts
interchange database, model
information and links
of interest to Maserati enthusiasts. An active discussion area - the
Forum brings Maserati enthusiasts
together to talk, chat and
share information. The search
facility has access to
the full text of each of the hundreds of articles on the site. |
| All
information is provided free of
charge (see the editorial
policy) though, to
protect the information within the site from illicit exploitation,
visitors must
register
to gain access.
Registration is free and
takes just a few minutes. You can log in or register using the small
form at top left of every page. |
If you are new to the site,
please visit the Forum
and introduce yourself in the Espresso Bar - we're a friendly bunch!
Happy
Maserati motoring! George |

Quattroporte
Sport GT
S launch
Maserati
launched the new Quattoporte Sport GT S
at the International Motorshow (IAA) held in Frankfurt. The
company's stand (right next to Ferrari) was extremely busy on the first
morning of the show
This
new version of the QP is aimed at drivers who want a sportier feel to
their luxury saloon and the list of alterations over the standard model
is very promising. Click
the photo for a more detailed look at the car
and to see a video of Maserati CEO, Roberto Ronchi introducing it to
the world's press.
Sir
Stirling
very kindly made some time for me at the recent GPLive event at
Donington Park. Full
interview will appear here soon.
Several new
technical articles covering the hydraulic light switches on the Citroen
era cars and some interesting tips for anyone building a Merak/SM
engine (that may have application to other engine rebuilds as well)
have been added to the TechTips
library. Thanks to Rich Davis and John Spelic for
contributing these articles.

As part of the 2007 Columbus Week Celebration, the Columbus Citizens
Foundation, in association with Maserati North America, will be
offering a limited number of people an exclusive opportunity to win one
of the first 2008 Maserati GranTurismos available in North America. See
the Events listing
for further details.
A
very special treat was in store at GPLive when the one an only,
ex-Prince Bira OSCA V12 GP car made its public debut after a seven year
restoration by owner Peter Wuensch who was greatly enjoying himself!
A
full article on the restoration is planned. In the meantime you can
read a little more about the car (and see photos of the rest of it!)
here.
Here's
a sight you won't see repeated too often - a full set of
Quattroportes from the latest, fifth incarnation back to the very
first. The opportunity arose at the Maserati Club's Spring meeting
earlier this year. It's the ultra-rare second series car that makes
this photo special. From Maserati's Citroen era, this car exists in
tiny numbers and was patiently tracked down by Edwin Faulkner who ist
trying to collect a full set of "QPs" for himself!
The
happy owners (L-R) are: Drummond Bone, Yours Truly, Prag Mistry, Edwin
Faulkner and John Bennett.

Calling all
club/event
officials
You can now update the Events
listings by adding details of your events to the database
directly using the on-line form - just click the "Add a new Record"
link at
the top of the Events listings page.
If you are a club secretary or event organiser please
add details of your events on-line yourself rather than email them to
me. Event details will usually
appear on the site a day or two after details have been entered as, for
now at least, new entries are checked before becoming public.
