Hi All, It's been a while and I have a question that relates to my ongoing plan to get back into Maser ownership. I have a set of winter tyres for my SL55, which are 255/40 R18s all round. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm if these would fit the 18" rims of a 4200? I have 18" rims on...

Hi All, I may be returning to the fold in the near future and am looking around for a low mileage Gransport. Does anyone know this car: http://www.acorncarsuk.co.uk/used-cars/maserati-gransport-v8-2dr-auto-enfield-201206448596590 ? It seems extremely good value and from the photos I can't...

Dear All, Bad news I'm afraid. After 2 years of deliriously happy Maser ownership I've had to defect to the Germans. A certain car manufacturer is my largest current client and certain contacts felt it inappropriate that I turned up at their factory in something other than their product...

This Gransport is something I'm strongly considering as a replacement for my 4200. Does anyone know it? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201118386151337/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/gransport/make/maserati/postcode/pr44aa/page/1/radius/1500?logcode=p

Dear All, After 2 years of very happy ownership I've decided to upgrade from my 2002 (52) 4200 GT to either a newer 4200 or a Gransport if my budget allows. I bought the car from a reputable indy in July 2009. This has been the most reliable car I've ever owned, having needed just a new clutch...

Dear All, I feel I must take the opportunity to inform you all that today I drove my 20,000th mile in my beloved 4200 GT (38,500 in total). Since buying the car it's cost me the following: 1 clutch (£1,000 of that cost was contributed by the dealer as he accepted the clutch should not...

Dear All, First of all Happy New Year and sorry for not being active recently. I find myself returning in rather unfortunate circumstances. I need to pick your collective brains for advice on what's happened with my car this evening. I drove about 100 miles this evening and left with...

Hi All, I've been away for a while, too busy with other things to get time on the forum. For that I accept all appropriate ridicule and will do my best to make amends in the coming weeks. I promised Miles some pics of my car as it was lowered 20mm by Auto Sportiva in the summer. I think...

Just had a weekend at the missus' mum's place, around 170 km from Budapest. Two highlights of the trip were as follows: 1. Her mum was standing outside the house waiting to greet me when I arrived. I asked how she knew I was coming and she said she'd heard my car coming some 3-4 minutes...

Hi All, As many of you know, I had Larini back boxes and centre section fitted last week. That leaves the original parts, which I couldn't take with me, going spare. They are at Auto Sportiva in Kent and they've offered to hold them for a while. I'm offering them free to anyone who can...

Hi All, I'm off on a 9-day trip today. Leaving this afternoon for Portoroz on the Slovenian coast, which will be followed by a trip to Auto Sportiva in Kent, via Baden-Baden. My Maser will then spend 2 days in Neil's care for its annual and mileage service and of course the aforementioned...

Hey all, Having examined both the Formula Dynamics and Gransport replacement springs route for my 4200 GT with Skyhook, I've finally decided just to have the existing suspension lowered. I understand that 15mm is a fair amount to lower the car by without anything encroaching on the wheel...

Hey all, I thought I'd try to find out who uses their Maser the most and the least on the forum. Mine's my only car but I spend a lot of time in the centre of town and I live very close to work. As such I do no more than 12K miles in the course of a year and many of those are on motorways...

Hi All, After a year of very happy ownership I've decided to upgrade from my 2002 (52) 4200 GT to either a newer 4200 or a Gransport if my budget allows. I bought the car from a reputable indy in July last year and have had no problems, barring the need to replace the clutch shortly after...

Hi All, A young guy contacted me recently and asked if he could take some photos of my 4200. Here are the results, I think they turned out rather well. The wheels have just been painted black. I've had one request for details of the exact colour and level of flake in the paint and I'm...

My 3-year old original Maser battery seems to have been rogered by the long winter. Even the folks at my local dealer said there's no benefit to buying a genuine Maserati battery so I'm wondering what specification I need to buy if I buy a Bosch or other reputable brand? I won't bore you with...

I'm thinking of doing an exhaust upgrade on my 2002 4200 GT, probably Larini. I haven't spoken to them yet but I see I can go for just the rear boxes, the centre section and/or decats. Can someone give me the basics on the difference between the various combinations so I can make an informed...

I was planning to wait until I have all the current work done but I have to give you a taster. The wheels have now been painted and the centre caps were successfully painted black by Jesse. They look absolutely gorgeous! When I have the photos Jesse took during the process I'll post those too...
