Anyone going to this?

£45 per person.


Apparently, the UK Club is trying to get lots of Quattroportes on 31st.

I’m going. Current plan is for my Urraco to be on display on the main lawn.
But if that doesn’t happened for some reason, I’ll go in my QP.

Looking forward to pretending I have money, that reminds me, I have to hoover the boot incase of any incriminating evidence :boss:

Look forward to seeing you there. It is important to emphasise that you don't have to be a member of the official club to attend d the Salon Privé Club Day, and to be parked in the Maserati "paddock, or to attend the "Quattroparty". You just need a Quattroporte to attend the 60 year celebration. On check out the cars are free but Salon Privé charges for the occupants and they also ask if you want to receive Club information but, importantly, the event is open to all Maserati owners. The Club are trying to organise a technical support desk there too, if you have some technical issues with your QP.

Can anyone with a cutdown QP come? AKA a GT?
Of course. The event on August 31st is the Club Privé Club Day and ALL Maseratis that attend, whether owned or not by current members of the UK Club, access the Maserati "paddock". SP do charge for the occupants of the car although the cars themselves enter for free! This year, to celebrate 60 years and the longest continual model in the Maserati range, Quattroporte enthusiasts are getting as many QPs together at the Club Day; they will be all together in the Maserati paddock but separated from the cutdown versions, and other models! See you there I hope: I normally take my wife as she gets to look at the Palace and gardens while I look at all the other cars! Happy wife, happy life!

Did not join the official club as I'm tight, i could not see the benefit of joining, but people seem decent in here and friendly, and supportive of tech help.
My wife looking forward to a great day out, and you've mentioned Party, well say no more lol

It is a bit ambiguous. I think it is £45 if you have that brand of car, or £50 for hoi poloi. I don't think membership is policed.

The website (ambiguously) says, "To join the paddock, you must be the owner of a model from your selected marque and will be prompted to enter details of your car at checkout. Club membership is not a requirement of entry, although we encourage you to enter your Club Membership Number at checkout, if you have one."

Just to update you on the "Quattroparty" at the Salon Privé Club Trophy by Lockton (I have been asked to use the correct name) on August 31st. Thank you all for buying tickets: the guys at Salon Privé rang me to congratulate me on Maserati ticket sales and suggested at the current rate of sales we could be looking at 60 QPs, one for every year of QP production! That would be something, 60 QPs in one place! Also McGraths and Emblem Motors have combined forces to provide a FOC technical help gazebo at the event, to assist any QP owners with technical issues. They will have people in attendance with extensive knowledge of all QP models. Two great reasons to attend!

I can't drink at the party, I'm driving

Membership of the Maserati Club UK is not required, you just need to be driving your Maserati and hence you will get an entry ticket with a reference letter that directs you to the Maserati paddock. The cars are free, but Salon Privé charge £45 per occupant.
