2003 MASERATI 4200 COUPE GT - MANUAL

KEY FACTS

• A driver-focused example of the stylish Maserati 4200 Coupe GT, benefitting from regular servicing and maintenance.
• The power bulge bonnet shrouds the front-mounted Ferrari-built F136R 4.2-litre V8 engine, producing around 385bhp and driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox.
• The vehicle has just three owners from new, with the current owner acquiring the vehicle in 2017 from a family friend who had purchased the vehicle nearly new in 2004.
• One of only 214 right-hand drive manual cars produced according to Maserati.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Finished in Grigio Nuvolari paintwork, this 4200 Coupe exudes understated style. Inside, Avorio leather adorns the sculpted interior, which can comfortably seat four adults and underlines its credentials as a well-rounded sports grand tourer.
• Notably, the car is specified with the optional Skyhook suspension, providing continuous adaptive dampening and adjustable comfort and sport modes.
• The car is presented in unmodified factory specification, which includes electrically adjustable heated leather seats.
• Optional 18-inch seven spoke alloy wheels sit over the red Brembo four-piston brake callipers. A set of Michelin Pilot Sport tyres are fitted.
• Present and correct are the owner and service manuals, brochures, and accompanying navy-blue leather trident embossed pouch, full tool kit, both keys and red code card.

CONDITION

• The bodywork presents well with no known prior damage, though two very minor dents are evident to the bonnet bulge.
• The metallic paintwork is described by the vendor as being in good condition, with a specialist having performed some touch up work to the vehicle at around 70,000 miles. Slight paint bubbling is evident around the wing mirrors, there is light corrosion around the rear offside taillight, and some stone chipping and blemishes to the front bumper.
• The alloy wheels were subject to refurbishment at approximately 74,000 miles.
• The bright and attractive leather-swathed interior is in excellent condition throughout, with only slight wear to the driver’s side seat bolster and small mark on the base, which would benefit from re-colouration to bring it back to an excellent standard. Some light scratching is also evident to some of the switchgear.
• The vendor reports no known mechanical or electrical faults to the vehicle.
• The most recent MOT test was conducted on 9 April 2021, with the odometer reading 74,751 miles, yielding a first-time pass with no advisories.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The last service was performed by Autoshield Maserati in April 2021 at 74,751 miles. Maintenance performed included an engine oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new discs and pads, and both the gear linkage and brake callipers stripped and rebuilt. The vendor notes that the gear linkage mechanism was also stripped and rebuilt to remedy stiffness caused by lack of use over the preceding 18 months.
• Other recent maintenance was carried out by Giallo Cars. In July 2019, this included an engine oil and filter change, new brake lines and pipes throughout, and replacement of the expansion tank. In July 2017, a full service was conducted, and significant maintenance carried out including new air-conditioning compressor, full set of power-steering pipes and radiator, new coolant radiator, new handbrake cable, replacement gear linkage, replacement genuine Maserati windscreen and new exhaust mounts fitted.
