    Coupe prices - what's happening?

    I test drove this one before buying Andy4200's car instead - in my (subjective, of course) opinion, it didn't feel anywhere near as well sorted as Andy's did with near 70,000 more miles on the clock. That's not necessarily to knock this car, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would really want a...

    Maserati owners list.....please add your Maserati!

    @Tallman I'm the proud new owner of Andy4200's 4200GT :)

    Soon to be (I hope!) a 4200 owner!

    Thanks all (especially you, Andy - it was lovely to meet you!). Continuing to love the car - unsurprisingly - and still need to get a few more vanity shots taken, but as you might expect I've been snapping away on my phone every time I park up... Driving home to Scotland at the weekend, so...

    And just like that, I'm officially a member of the club! Forgive the splash and dash petrol station picture, but it was a long drive home and it was pitch dark by the time I got home to take more. Many thanks to @Andy4200 for passing his wonderful car down to me, it was even better in person...

    A lot of activity since I last looked! Thanks for all the kind advice everyone - I'm definitely stepping into a 4200 with my eyes open, and it's good to see so many of you running your cars through the winter too. I've never been in a position to have more than one car, so good to know they...

    "When not if" certainly feels apt right now - been a good while since I've been drawn in so much by a particular model; I feel similarly when I see a particularly well specced late XKR, but seeing as those are anywhere from 25-30k, the 4200 really appeals in its stead.

    Andy that is stunning! I'm a bigger fan of the black/grey interior than I'd expected (I regularly take flak from friends on how much I adore "old man beige" Vs resale black) and the black paint really does suit the car. Let's chat a bit more about it - I'm not sure how forum rules go in terms of...

    There definitely isn't the same level of choice as with an XKR or a Cayman, that's for sure! Out of interest, how come you would much prefer the facelift? From a little sleuthing on here it seems the main difference is cosmetic, or am I wrong?

    Soon to be (I hope!) a 4200 owner!

    From what I've read/heard from a good ferret around, the CC box definitely does seem to have a lot of love from some drivers, though not all. That said, one of the big things on the list of wants for my new car is a proper manual; I've been in automatics for a few years and I really miss it - my...

    That's the very car I test drove yesterday as it is relatively local to me! The GS wheels are really very nice in person I have to admit. The car itself is priced too highly for my blood though. :(

    I'm certainly not against a high mileage car that's been well looked after - I've driven my fair share of six figure mileage cars, and at the right price, they're every bit as good! I found some photos in your post history, but all of them are closeups - some wider shots would be great. If...

    After today's test drive, I 100% agree on the giggles front!!

    Hey Andy, I would send a PM, but I think brand new members aren't given the option to do that straight away (for understandable reasons). I'm definitely interested in hearing a little more about the 4200 you're debating selling!

    Soon to be (I hope!) a 4200 owner!

    Hi all! After starting my search for a new car with what I thought was a well-defined short list of either a 4.2 XKR or an early Cayman S, I've fallen down the rapid hole of looking for a 4200 Coupe instead - solidified by a quick test drive in a facelifted model this afternoon. My objective...
