Hi David Sorry I can't make the event or Newby this year, but I've sold the 4200 Spyder to an Aussie who is in the process of shipping it over there! After 4 years of ownership I just fancied a change and have acquired a 90's TVR V8. All car enthusiasts need to own one of these at some point...

Just looking at this thread, I am getting concerned that my Spyder GT being 15 years old could use some TLC on the roof mechanism and fabric. I am not aware that this forms part of the annual service at the indie garage I use. The movement has seemed to slow over the years from slow to dead...

Looks like I will have to travel in convoy with my daughter in her lime green 70's Escort with lowered suspension (probably collapsed), so I will go straight there. Looks like only 4 Masers booked in so far. I'll head for the Italian flag area.

Hi Mike, The grille now fitted is the slightly taller 04 version with 4 horizontal matt black slats. It looks fine to me, but everybody has an opinion. You told me about Gary J folding up when we last met. I presume there are no more independent Italian specialists in the Lincs area - unless...

This doesn't seem to be a popular event with forum members but if anyone wants to attend you will have to email Ciro to get a space. I've booked a spot, but he is limiting certain marques to 5 cars of each make probably to allow more room for the Lambo crowd. Chris

I've booked my ticket David, now that the Spyder is back on the road. Hoping to avoid deers on the way there. Chris

Thanks guys for all the very useful info and you are dead right Miket, the facelift bumper and grill fit fine. The car is now back on the road after 3+months delay due to waiting for parts etc etc. Not sure what happened to the deer - it's just a distant memory I'm trying to forget. Chris

Hi guys, I unfortunately hit a deer on the M62 last month damaging the bumper and grille beyond repair on my 52 reg 4200 Spyder. Maserati UK apparently do not supply this model of grille any more, although the correct bumper is still available! - so would anyone know where I might obtain...

Hi Mike - yes I know I'm not very communicative on the forum, it must be some form of anti-social behaviour! Strange coincidence of a feature on the number of deer on the roads on our local TV station yesterday. They suggested to slow down if you see one in the road. Who would have thought of...

Hi Sparkplug The Spyder has gone today to MSM-refinishers in Winterton. It's owned and operated by the Joyce brothers Steve and Matt. It's got a good reputation and useful for me to keep tabs on the car's progress. Once it has been fully assessed today I'll bring it home until the parts arrive...

Thanks for the kind words guys. The deer I hit was apparently a muntjac (whatever that is). Needs a bumper, grille, o/s side and headlamps, all of which are apparently available new according to Graypaul. It is thus now in the hands of my insurer. Pity I economised on the premium by having an...

Spoke to the Maserati 4200 owning main man today (not a forum member), who is keen for any Masers to join him at their 2016 Classic Car Show. 70+ cars/supercars of all makes apparently attended last year. Any past attendees here? You can just turn up on the day anytime after 06.00(!?) -...

Thanks for organising the Vulcan day and lunch David. A great day out had by all. We may need it to fly again in July if we go to war with Europe. Got the Spyder going now with a new battery. Sorry to come in a Z4 but I least I parked away from the Tridents. See you at Newby in June 1...
