The 90 plus Maseratis at Stanford Hall were a just reward for event organiser Bill Jackson's sterling efforts!!
On a final note I would like to thank Ken Painter for bringing along his rare Tipo 4CS, Anthony Hartley for sharing his recreation of the formidable Tipo V4 with us, to Graypaul, Maserati/Ferrari distributors, for displaying the new Quattroporte, the Coupe and the Spyder, the Maserati Club members and the Maserati owners who made the day such a great success.
I would also like to mention for special thanks Bill Jackson who organised such a splendid display of Maseratis.
