That's the way that car was designed and was always supposed to look like (pic of a Euro 3200 GT),until stupid "consumer clinics" in US decided they liked a more "traditional" look like we have in the V8 model.
i do prefer the boomerang lights. Here is a conversion on a 4200 Spyder back to the boomerrangs. Before:http://www.francoauto.nl/files/image/IMG_0966.jpg After: http://www.francoauto.nl/files/image/IMG_0968.jpg
Shoot, that's only about two day's dust accumulation, out west of Houston! LOL! Remember all the trouble the LAST time we started the "Abandoned Car" thread!
Funny the Maser has the Plate starting "911." Any car in Barstow, CA yesterday is going to look like that after only one afternoon - they had a massive dust storm that took an hour to drive through.
A Maserati dealer here in Germany converted at least 5 cars to that "Boomerang"-specs! Looks much nicer. btw, there is another reason for the change of that design as the "official" US-version - but nobody in Modena would tell you and speak out the name of the person who was responsible for this "tastefull" modification...! Today everybody in Modena -and the rest of this planet!!- knows that this conversion was a major mistake! Typical Italy: 2 steps forward - and then 1 step back! Ciao! Walter
I would leave it like this and untouched for the next 30 years! And then: Hip-Hip-Hurrayyyy -- "a barn find!!!!" Ciao! Walter
If you know the name Walter, then please tell. One of the reasons I heard of the light change was due to U.S.A. Department Of Transportation regulations - which includes the additional required Center Mounted Brake Light or "cyclops" light. However, from the above conversion pictures, the Boomerang lights work quite well with the CMBL.
estonian youths like to use english language... Got some insight from another forum Basically yes, Estonia's capital, Tallinn.. It has pre-2004 plates on... but it doesn't mean it's abandoned... Steve, where u got these pics? edit i might dig another pic of a dusty car from an underground parking there that will show you local youths' english proficiency....
Steve came up with that pics from abandoned exotics thread... got a little more info OK... somebody comes with me to pick it up...?
Am I the only one bothered by the people writing in the dust? That is going to scratch the paint for sure.
No, me too. Here's another one - Abu Dhabi, UAE. Just look at that colour... never seen a more beautiful paintjob on a Maserati!! http://www.*************/pitlane/pics/134288/3306127d.jpg
Not to hijack but it looks like they changed a whole lot more than just the tail lights...looks like two different cars to me. Interiors are different, lug nuts are different. etc.?
I much prefer the boomerang tail lights ! as a 1:18 scale collector I noticed this : the Bburago model features the boomerang whereas the Maisto have the US version tail lights needless to say I traded my Maisto Spider in on for a Bburago Coupe
