4200...

Anyone know anything about its history?

drewf · Jan 22, 2017

It's in Eastleigh, btw.

beau · Jan 22, 2017

sounds like it needs a new front subframe according to the mot history, failed for being corroded, then passed but with advisory for it being welded and still rusty

BennyD · Jan 22, 2017

Yes, a little bit. First came the flawed 3200 which had twin turbos. Ferrari wanted an n/a sportscar so they gave it a 4.2ltr V8. It was much improved over the inferior 3200 and was further improved by the GranSport. The 4200s go well, stop pretty well and handle OK too. That's about it really, I hope that helped.

Thanks beau!

And thanks for the Pm about the car too, from someone else.

Sounds like they need to run from it! Another dog of a 4200 ! 2 in one night eh?

Catalan is selling his car, send him a pm, that's an 04MY too.

Contigo · Jan 23, 2017

Yep buy a known forum car it makes so much more sense. You will regret it if you don't.

A big warm welcome .... Well done on your purchase hope all goes well.....

GeoffCapes · Feb 14, 2017

Looks nice. From the pics at least.

My front subframe looks (well last time I saw it) rusty, but it was purely surface stuff.
When I get it back I'll give it a coating in hammerite for a bit of protection.

Welcome to the fold!

Spartacus · Feb 14, 2017

Mine was like that . I waxoiled it at the start of the winter though . looks much better . it was only surface rust .

Nothing - if you can rob a bank without getting caught
I hope it works out for you though, they are great cars

What indeed ... !
Good luck, welcome along and enjoy

Tankslider · Feb 16, 2017

Thank you. Dropped it off yesterday for a service, and a proper look over at the Maserati Shed. That's a place, isn't it...

Mines there at the moment for an mot/service. Mike is a top chap, you're in good hands.
