2004 Maserati 4200 Cambiocorsa

Premium Classified Sale

Introduction

A naturally aspirated V8 up front and Larini sports cats at the rear – this 4200 truly sings.

Maserati introduced the 4200 in 2001 at the Frankfurt Auto Show in Spyder form, with the coupé variant making its debut at the Detroit Auto Show in 2002. Replacing the 3200GT, it shared a very similar design with the outgoing model, with the taillights being one of the main visual changes. As the name suggests, the engine was upgraded from a 3.2L to a 4.2L. The new engine was a joint development between Maserati and Ferrari, producing ~385BHP and 332 lb-ft of torque.

This particular car comes to market after ~13 years with its current owner, with approximately 89,698 miles on the clock. Larini sports cats and a custom X-pipe have been fitted to enhance the already impressive sound. It has 15 service stamps in the book, two sets of keys and alarm master, and a current MOT valid until 20 June 2025.

This listing was written from information supplied by Colin after meeting Kenneth the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Exterior

The sleek shape, trident logos around the car make it clear that this Maserati means business.

Wheels and Tyres

The original Maserati wheels all showed signs of wear, with visible surface corrosion noted around the valves and some marks on the spokes. They would benefit from refurbishment to improve the overall exterior presentation.

A full matching set of Pirelli P-Zero tyres were fitted to the car, all dated from 2016. They appeared to be in decent shape with a good amount of tread remaining.

Bodywork

The bodywork of the 4200 appeared to be in fair condition. The doors, bonnet, and boot lid all fitted well with tight panel gaps. However, we did notice a couple of dents on the car, one in the middle of the bonnet and one on the offside rear wing. Some visible corrosion was also noted on the corners of the boot lid, the base of the passenger side door mirror, and the passenger side A-pillar.

We've highlighted in more detail our observations through our hi-resolution images and videos, so please take time to look through all the media files for a detailed view at what’s on offer, and for you to assess the condition of the car for yourselves.

Paint

The silver paint appeared to be in good condition with even coverage and a decent lustre, the colour changes subtly with the lighting conditions. However, we did notice some scratches around the car and a few stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet. Additionally, there were some chips on the driver’s side rear wing and a scuff on the bottom of the front bumper on the passenger side.

The images are taken from a few different angles to show off the car as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves. So please take the time to fully assess these hi-resolution images and videos of the car, for you to make up your own minds about the condition of the paint.

Glass and Trim

The windscreen appeared to be in fair condition, with a few stone chips but no noticeable cracks. However, the scuttle panel showed a sign of wear, Kenneth told us a firework landed on it and melted it slightly.

The headlights appeared quite cloudy and would benefit from a detail. Some of the badges around the car looked a little worn, with the "Design Giugiaro" badges on both sides beginning to peel off.

Interior

The grey and blue leather interior offers a luxurious feel for the passengers.

Seats and Carpets

The grey leather seats were in good condition, with some slight signs of age, most notably on the driver's side outside bolster. The rear seats were in excellent condition, with very little sign of use.

The blue carpets were also in good condition, although the driver's side over-carpet showed some wear around the heel area. We also noticed a slight scuff on the driver's door card next to the speaker.

Dashboard

The upper part of the dashboard was covered in blue leather, while the lower part was finished in grey leather. Sometimes these cars can suffer from the leather shrinking on the main surfaces, not the case with this example from our observations.

The clocks were all in great condition, clear of any fogging, and the odometer read approximately 89,698 miles at the time of our visit.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The blue leather steering wheel showed some signs of age with wear. The paddle-shifters were covered in the same perforated blue leather as the wheel and showed in good condition.

Mechanics

A 4.2L V8 paired with the paddle-shift Cambiocorsa gearbox powers the rear wheels, with an enhanced soundtrack from Larini.

Engine and Gearbox

The 4.2L V8 started on the first attempt and sounded great. During a short drive through city traffic with Kenneth, the engine performed well, with the enticing noise encouraging you to press the accelerator. Typically there was some paint was flaking off the air intake, but Kenneth mentioned that this has been the case since he bought the car.

The Cambiocorsa paddle-shift gearbox also performed admirably, shifting gears smoothly without any drama or crunching, and going into reverse with ease, as demonstrated in the On The Road video.

Suspension and Brakes

We didn't have the opportunity to test the suspension on twisty roads, but during our short drive through city traffic, it felt composed and comfortable. We also didn’t hear any unwanted noises from underneath the car.

The brakes felt sharp, bringing the Maserati to a stop without any pulling on the steering.

The Drive

As mentioned, we took the car for a short drive through city traffic, and it felt strong, with plenty of power available for when you hit the open road. The sound, enhanced by the Larini sports cats and custom X-pipe, was impressive. The car also shifted through gears smoothly.

It handled and stopped well, while the occupants enjoyed the luxurious cabin. This would be a great choice for a long-distance road trip.

Electrics and Other

We didn't test all the electronics of the car during our visit, but the clocks and radio worked as expected. Kenneth informed us that everything else was in working order to the best of his knowledge.

History and Paperwork

Coming to market from ~13 years ownership, this car has seen lots of maintenance work as needed, and is positioned as a drivers example.

This 4200 comes to market after approximately 13 years with our vendor, Kenneth, and boasts 15 service stamps in the book. Kenneth has had Larini sports cats fitted, along with a custom-made X-pipe to enhance the exhaust note.

The car comes with receipts for work carried out over the years and MOT certificates dating back to 2010, with a current MOT valid until 20 June 2025. Kenneth stores the car over the winter and has it serviced each year as he takes it out of storage in spring, Kenneth told us it was serviced in May 2024 but he can't find the invoice for it. Recent work includes a new spring in June 2024, a new oil cooler and window control unit in 2023, and a new radiator, spring, and ball joint in 2020.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned a HPi check on the vehicle.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bid/s, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.
