Well, this was my best ever upgrade, one of 200 of a ltd edition with only 600km on the clock and the upgrade package. The weather forecast was bad so I enquired about something fast but not convertible at the desk. Was offered the Maserati - a great drive and very nice loud exhaust, perfect for the smaller roads I was on.

One slight warning - French gilets jaunes didn’t seem to like such a smart car and I had a few unpleasant gestures on the road, I was only parking in Chateau so not a problem but I wouldn’t want to leave such a vehicle in public parking due to the current political climate in rural France.
