    Maserati 4200 GT For Sale

    Hi All After some serious thought I have decided now is the time to let someone else have the pleasure of our manual Maserati 4200. In my ownership it has been on a few UK road trips, taken through France for a family holiday between the lockdowns and I’ve completed many of the ‘big ticket’...

    4200 Front Subframe

    With the cats, and roll bar etc. removed for the oil pump exchange, I decided now would be a good time to swap the rusty front subframe for the rust free replacement I bought a while ago. Roll bar, cats, all lambda sensors, temp sensors and fan connectors unclipped. Shocks unbolted from strut...

    No oil pressure today - possible oil pump failure!

    Started the 4200 up, luckily just sat on the drive idling when I notice the oil pressure drop to zero, followed by the sound of rattling. I immediately turned the engine off. Drained the oil, hoping I’d not noticed a massive leak, but 6 ish litres came out. Replaced the oil filter, again...

    4200 Rear screen replacement

    Whilst I was changing the heater matrix on the 4200 and had the carpets etc. out, I noticed that rear footwells and boot filled up with water after I’d cleaned the car. Upon investigation, and removal of the rear seats and parcel shelf, it became obvious that the rear screen bonding was the...

    Not for GD

    What does the ‘GD’ stand for on the Eurospares website? I could phone tomorrow, but I’m itching to order some parts tonight and thought someone on here must know! Need to know what the ‘not for GD’ means, like pictured below cheers M

    4200 X-Pipe fitment

    Morning all, Just thought I would tap into the experience on here, with a quick question reference swapping out the standard silenced x pipe for one of Benny’s. What’s the best route to remove the x pipe section? Take off back boxes and then the link pipes to get to it or unbolt the Cat...

    Frayed Battery Cable

    Noticed this cable hanging on for dear life off the battery on the 4200. I’m going to put a new connector on it but was wandering if anyone knew, off the top of their heads, what it goes to/from? Blue connector,

    Our cheap Coupe GT to do list

    We’ve had the 4200 for a few weeks now so I thought I’d get a ‘to do’ list written down. It’s in no way a complaints list, we knew fairly well what we were buying at this price point! After only a few weeks it has already dropped into ‘keeper’ category, it’s fantastic! In priority order (ish)...

    I’ve bought a cheap Maserati

    Well, I’ve gone and done what most say not to do and bought a cheap Masser! We sold our immaculate low mileage GT back in January to release some funds for a house project. With that now paid for (if not completed!) we turned our attention to replacing the family run about, our beloved Alfa 156...

    4200 rear seats

    It’s been 3 months since I sold the Granturismo and I’m already thinking of getting back in to a Maserati again! Has anyone got experience of kids around the ages 5-7 in boosters in the back of a 4200? They were more than comfortable in the back of the GT but I’m assuming the 4200 is slightly...

    Some photos of the GT

    I've had the GT for a couple of months now but today was the first time that I've been able to take it out for a proper drive and get some photos. It runs great, sounds amazing and the kids love it. I'm looking forward to putting some miles on it.

    Another parking sensor thread!

    Apologies for adding another thread regarding parking sensors, I've searched the forum but not come across the answer to my particular issue. I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious (highly likely). I have front parking sensors on my granturismo, there are sensors in the bumper and grill...

    Granturismo purchase

    Hi chaps I've been lurking around the forum for a little while now soaking up some of the excellent advice and info available, so thanks for that. I'm now in a position to go and get a granturismo. I think for my budget I'd rather get an immaculate condition 4.2 (I like the look of one at...
