3200GT. 3.2L Twin Turbo V8, Automatic - BTR 4-Speed. A savior of the marque and back to the Grand Touring roots.
Imported from Japan to Australia in 2008. Has been in the country ever since. Driven down to Melbourne from Sydney earlier this year and never missed a beat. Lots of items have been replenished to bring the tourer back up to life.
Previously owned by manager at Ferrari-Maserati Sydney. Then a British lad bought it to enjoy for the last 5 years. He moved back to the UK.
He had spent coin for the car to be maintained; but not enough nevertheless. Drivable condition and barely put a couple thousand kms on the dash. See NSW registration check.
