What is the rear suspension like? The Maserati quality dropped at the middle biturbo era IMO. Interiors and engines/transmission were brilliant. Parts of the suspension are just folded bits of thin metal and with a little rust and rusted bolts the whole lot becomes easier to replace. If you can find the parts. Mas decided to alter parts per model and that makes parts a bit difficult and pricey.
Another mistake that I learned...

Seen some right crappy bits of suspension on some surprising cars recently. Legacy (2005/10 age), Toyota saloon car (avensis? 2012) and Honda crv (2011j) all in for top mounts and bush's, but ended up replacing whole wishbone (bush's fine) because of horrific poke your finger through it rust.
Shouldn't wishbones be cast? Like always? None of those cars I would deam a bargain basement car (like an "mg" whatever that thing is. £6K brand new. These ones were all pressed and tack welded together very poorly imo.
Imagine if a wishbone just gave way on you, nasty.

This little thing has finally been taken out of winter storage and took me and my gf for picnic today. The food and company was pretty great but the short drive made me feel like a kid again. I like that feelin .)
Im not much of a photographer nor do i take a lot of pictures but this car is really really hard to capture how it actually portraits to the eye irl.
Need to get it in for a service and potentially fit the OZ futura rims i bought for it but i really like the orginal ones now so thinking of selling the OZs and perhaps spend some of that cash on refurbishing these instead. Downside would be i cant get a lot more rubber on these than currently on them and the rear is very "lively". Ideally id like to try how it ride with other rims and wider tires but that ofc requires the purchase of some spacers since the 93s vs the later ones apparently has slightly different hubs / axles.
