As you can see, it's a silver Exclusive with an Auto box.
I spotted it today at "Keys" at Aylsham, Norfolk...is it a member's car?
I was at Keys today as we had to pick up, in the sherpa, my new car!
Plenty of people at Keys couldn't work out what it was, but I'm sure that you chaps can!

A Maserati Biturbo. Nice alloys.

..In One! ...As a certain Jim Bowen from Bullseye used to say!
I spotted on that XM above that it didn't have the N/S headlamp washer cover...
BTW, If you're reading this and you're the owner, I've still got the N/S one on my breaker!

What a coincidence that you should be in Aylsham, which is where I live with my collection of XM's. The Exclusive was not one of mine as I only do older models. Had you driven through the Town you might have spotted my Platinum V6 and sei turbo!! I went to the auction out of curiosity and as it was so close and the Maserati was one of the more intriguing cars I thought, if nothing else for the engine. It would be interesting to hear how you get on with the recent acquisition. With regards, Matthew T.

When I see those wheels they remind me of an 80's gunmetal (swordfish grey even?) Alfa GTV.
Now one of them would get my vote more that the Biturbo actually.

I'm getting worried now...everywhere I seem to go there's an XM!!!
As you probably saw, the Maserati isn't in the _best_ of condition!
I'm still in two minds about it...my original plan was to break it for spares (
), but upon further inspection it's only had 2 owners...one in Rome, one in the Uk.
The previous owner died very suddenly and it's only done 80-odd thousands miles.
And, the 200bhp, 0-60 in 6 seconds and twin turbos sounds very nice indeed!

Funny you should mention that Andrew, as my friend's dad has got one of those.
He's owned it from new, and it's absolutely mint!
It's won numerous Alfa concourse competitions and it's never, ever been out in the rain!
