EDITORIAL
Its the big holiday weekend: for the next few days, the motorways will be packed with holidaymakers trying to get away from it, and then returning to find it wasnt so bad after all.
Maserati would like you to think that its latest GT, the GranTurismo, is a useful car for a vacation, and our latest test reveals a practical high-performance tourer just right for a two-up trip to friends holiday homes, with room in the back for the customary we must take you out to dinner, youve been so generous journey to the beachside trattoria.
Well go in the Maserati sounds good too, and will hopefully get one over on your insufferable acquaintances who are just dying to show you their latest kitchen or poolside gadget.
Well, thats my free holiday out the window then. If you are going away - have an enjoyable one.

Last Minute Ibiza: a dream villa free from 18 - 25 August!
Beachfront properties are hard to come by on Ibiza as most are in the mountains or in town several kilometres from the beach. However we persist and our persistence bears fruit. We have found a small gem. This villa sits 50 metres above the sea overlooking Cala Jondal. With a garden of flowers and palms surrounding its infinity pool, this property is the ideal getaway for a group of friends and for families with children over 6.
The sun passes in a perfect semi-circle across the terrace which means you either stay out and tan or else relax in one of the shaded areas by the pool. However, one of the pleasures of this villa is to be able walk down to the beach and to enjoy access to the sea. We will gladly hire you a boat for day trips to the white sandy beaches of Formentera Island, 40 minutes away by motor boat.

AC Cobra 351 Mk IV

year 1986
mileage 23.335 km / 14.500 mi

This Cobra is totally unique, and has the most comprehensive specification of any Mk IV ever built. The engine is a fully modified, hand built and blue-printed 351 c.i. (5.7 litres) Ford Motorsport unit on 4 down-draught Weber carbs, giving around 500 bhp (425 bhp at the rear-wheels, dyno-sheet).
The net result is one of the most exciting Cobras in existence - as close as one can get to a 1965 original, with more performance than a production '427' but the superlative handling of a competition prepared '289'. Condition is to 'Show Standard' throughout, as exemplified by the photos. The package is completed with worthwhile spares and the 1967 Registration Number.
