    Looking for a 4200, anyone know about this one?

    Yes I saw that one online yesterday as well, might try and swing by after looking at the first one on my way home, would give a good idea of how much of a difference there is on things like the gear change. Looks nice only thing I am not 100% on is the blue leather, probably looks fine in the...

    Looking for a 4200, anyone know about this one?

    Morning all, well I’m glad I logged in this morning, due to go and have a look at this on Tuesday. Looks a good price for the right colour and gearbox for me. However the gear linkage is a worry as is the heater matrix. Will still go and check it out but has given me some fantastic information...

    May be in the market for a Manual 4200

    If I could choose I would have exactly the same colour combo I had before grey with black leather, however especially with the manual option checked I do not think I will have the luxury of 100's to choose from!! I do not mind silver but in my opinion it flattens the lines of the car (if that...

    May be in the market for a Manual 4200

    Thanks guys, to be honest this place is another good reason for buying, as some on here will be aware one reason I have enjoyed the Lotus ownership so much is seloc.org fantastic forum good fun but masses of collective information and knowledge. I've found sportsmaserati to be a very welcoming...

    May be in the market for a Manual 4200

    Hi all been away for a while and in that time the wife has decided that its time for our Lotus Elise to finally go. We have owned the car for around 10 years so it was a big decision for us, we have contemplated loads of alternatives however we decided that for our next keeper it needs to be 4...

    The good morning thread

    Thanks for the replies, that's a shame I really didn't get on well with the cambiocorsa, I'm sure the newer one is better but I guess I'm just a little old fashioned!! Might have to look for a nice clean 4200 manual.

    The good morning thread

    Morning all, bar a post last night I have been missing for a while so thought I would say hello. I am currently Maserati less but we are weighing up options for a car in the new year, as we need a sensible 4 seater a 4200 could be back in contention and if I'm feeling flush then maybe a...

    The ideal number plate for a Turbo Maserati

    I was not 100% on value as I said it was valued at £2000 which I felt was a tad optimistic the guy I spoke to justified this as one had recently sold TUR80 -- (can't remember the last two) for £22000 but obviously the 8 would be far more desirable than the 6. Looks good on a car, it came with...

    The ideal number plate for a Turbo Maserati

    Hi Never move on from good cars!! Sold the 4200 but am now thinking of another maybe start of next year, we are going to buy something sporty and 4 seat so it's a toss up between the sensible 911 choice or the not so sensible 4200 or maybe a GRandtourismo. I decided to stop drinking in Feb so I...

    The ideal number plate for a Turbo Maserati

    Hi all, I have recently acquired a private plate as part of a deal on another car. I have never really been into plates and have nothing this would suit, however it's a nice looking plate that would suit any turbo car. The plate is TUR60 3W. It's a 1981 plate so can go on anything newer...

    Could be Maserati less this time tomorrow

    Don't get me wrong Benny you are spot on but I know of a similar priced Maserati that wasn't being snapped up and so I see it as they are probably about as good as each other as far as re-sale. If I was looking for a car to keep long term then the Massa would win hands down. however I am looking...

    Could be Maserati less this time tomorrow

    My thinking is that the mustang could be easier to sell on than the Massa, I never keep any car long and a 93k 4200 with a 90% worn clutch is only going to cost me more money over the next year. However if the mustang is in as good condition as advertised and all the paperwork checks out then I...

    Could be Maserati less this time tomorrow

    Well after having the car up for a couple of weeks I may have done a deal which could mean that by tomorrow evening I am no longer the owner of a Maserati. As I thought I have not found a cash buyer yet however as I would only spend the money on another "silly" car I have arranged a swap with...

    Ginetta G27r Cup

    This was my concern is it going to be an Elise but not as well put together. Would love to try one, however I think my proposal with regards to price may have put him off as he has not come back to me!! I'm out today to try and track down one of the 964's I have been offered
