  How do I obtain insurance quotes without having chosen a car yet? 14 Feb 2024 (Ask HJ)

• Any - Supercars, abandoned 20 Aug 2019 (Forum)
    In the yard in front of the house, there are some cars which look like they've been sat there for quite some time - none has ever changed position in the 3 or 4 years I've been using that route (which I do probably a dozen times per year). One of the cars is an early 2000s Maserati Quattroporte, just sitting on the long grass.  That was a £75K car when new, and now effectively just scrap. At my parents' flat, one of the parking spaces was occupied by an Aston DB7 for several years.

• Mid Large Family Car 17 May 2022 (Forum)
  So far, I can think of a Volvo S90 (a bit too big), Kia Stinger (a bit too flashy) or some kind of Maserati / Alfa (a bit too unreliable).  Any other ideas please? TIA              
• Advantages of Depreciation 29 Sep 2004 (Forum)
  But, if you buy the right car, it could easliy lose £25k in a short space of time. Go for a classic depreciator - a big loaded 7 series BMW, say, or a Maserati. New, obviously. Bingo - when you depart this earth in 6-12 months time, your estate is now worth less than Gordon's limit so no IHT is payable. And the car can be sold on quickly to a dealer who will be happy to give you a nice low valuation in writing.

• new alfa to take on mini 12 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Alfa plans a return to the US market in late 2008, beginning with expensive sports cars sold through the US dealers that sell its sister brand, Maserati. But the new Mini-fighter is not slated for the United States because the Grande Punto platform was not engineered for US regulations, the report said. The Junior is expected to sell 60,000 to 80,000 units a year, the report added.
• Best-looking car of all time? 29 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  Until I went to the International Classic Motor Show last weekend, I didn't have a best-looking car of all time in my mind. Now I have: the Maserati A6G 2000, particularly in its Frua guise, as shown at http://tinyurl.com/uz2e http://tinyurl.com/uz32 Somewhere on the Web I found a photo of it from the show, but I can't find it now. However, the very same car can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/uz4g It appeared in the mid-1950s, designed I think by Zagato, coachbuilt I think by Frua; fewer than a hundred were built.

  Can you tell me which executive car is the quietest to be in when cruising on the motorway?
• Time of life? 5 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  In a nutshell it boils down to this: Should I a) Sell the Alfa and buy a new Nissan X-trail SVE DCi as my main personal transport, running up 25,000-30,000 miles per year or b) Keep the Alfa until the wheels fall off, using it as my main car, and spend a not dissimilar amount to the purchase price of a new X-trail on the purchase of a secondhand Maserati 3200GT (likely to be a 1999 or 2000 model, with perhaps 30,000-40,000 miles on it), using it for no more than 5,000-8,000 miles per annum. This would be a "keeper" for as long as I have breathe in my body.

• International Classic Motor Show 12 Nov 2003 (Forum)
  It's a major event, spread over halls 7--12, and it runs the whole gamut from the brand new super-Jag (can't recall or find it's name/number), through classics to drool over (e.g. an absolutely superb black 1956 Maserati A6G 2000 -- fewer than 100 built), to some exquisite vintage cars, and from body-panel manufacturers to traders in every widget you could imagine, plus of course a fair sprinkling of tat. The saddest sight was of two glamour girls waiting for punters to fork out £10 to be photographed with them; they looked thoroughly neglected and miserable.

• Italian Style 21 Nov 2008 (Forum)
  I had imagined that the sort of people who would work for such a company and in such a clearly image concious environment might have reflected some of that influence in their choice of cars. I had thought that I would see a car park full of Alfas, Maseratis and the like. I was quite wrong. The Managing Director picked me up from the airport in his base model Passat estate. It was newish but not in the first flush of youth. A divisional director took me to dinner at a very swanky eatery and gave me a lift there in his diesel Punto, again a base model.
