    Considering a Maserati - 3200, 4200 or Gransport

    I've got the UK sales numbers somewhere I will try to locate them, but I have a feeling the 4200 & GS numbers are combined. Parkers quote the following UK new prices: > 2001-2006 4200: £56,695 - £67,950 > 2004-2007 GS: £66,735 - £69,130 So it would seem by 2006 there was only £1,200...

    tell me this spider is a bad idea

    It's well known that the mx5 is a good fun drive that's not in doubt - but just look at them, they're not known as hairdressers' cars for no reason.... http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02612/Mazda-MX-5-1_2612366b.jpg...

    7 Supercars in one day

    Agree the Indy Circuit is a great great circuit to drive. I took the Mas on there earlier this year on a track day - so many challenges sections that while you improve you never actually get them completely right, brilliant way to spend a few hours. I'll probably do it again next year. Have...

    Yet Another Exhaust Thread!

    Hi Mark Option-1 sound like an excellent mod. My exhaust is fairly close to Option-2 in that I had the secondary cats removed, have an H-pipe and am back to factory rears. When we catch up you'll be surprised at how much quieter it is now without the Larini rears on, but it still sounds...

    Aaaiittchhh Pipe

    My 4200 is currently with Larini H-pipe and factory rears (secondary cats also removed) - the difference over stock is noticeable in the growl and more bass but it isn't noisy. The factory rears suppress the sound massively compared to when I had Larini rears and H-pipe combo - huge difference...

    Maserati Club Summer Garden Party 7th August 2016

    Jim the landlord is a Maserati and supercar enthusiast. The Summer Party has been going for several years now and is well supported. It was originally an exclusive Maserati event but is now open to all marques - I understand that there was some fine classics on show at the 2015 party.

    Beautiful GS for sale

    If it was detailed the paintwork would have depth and shine, it would look beautiful. Do think silver wheels suit Argento Luna better than darker wheels somehow... Maserati colour is blue - the greys and silvers are pretty bland and just fade into the sea of Mercs and Audis on the roads....:cool:

    Multi-car insurance.

    Hi All My multi-car insurance policy is coming up for renewal very soon, and having been with this company for a few years now and as the premium has increased a fair amount, it would be very useful to know what insurance companies other owners use to insure their cars on multi-car policies...

    Broken Down

    I can't help wondering that this is self inflicted though as per my previous post - these are Ferrari engines and parts after all that need to be treated with care and respect, and I can't say I'd expect a Ferrari owner to revs the nuts off his car while the oil, fluids, cats etc. have not got...

    Broken Down

    I wonder if the revving that you were doing last Saturday/other occasions (when the cat is cool) could have caused unburnt fuel to then ignite in the cats which eventually caused the ceramic material to melt/breakdown. It's a well known cause of for cat breakdown, and probably worth mentioning...

    4200GT Larini rear boxes value?

    Stuart should I decide to sell them I will make you no.3 on the waiting list as 2 others are interested - I will have a decision to make whether they should go onto eBay instead.

    4200GT Larini rear boxes value?

    With all the recent exhaust-related talk on SM, where do people see the current market value being for 2nd-hand Larini (un-valved) rear sections for 4200GTs?

    3200 Prices

    I tried to find this out but unfortunately the UK numbers for 2004-2008 group the 4200 Facelift and GS together. I have these combined numbers though but doesn't help much here....

    Lovely blue GS

    Fair point, although I would say if private sellers provide an indie inspection report to show a clean bill of health then I wouldn't have an issue buying at the higher price bracket. A dealer's price will include a 3/6 month warranty inflating the price by between £1k-£1.5k. When I bought...

    4200 & GS - Indicative Value Index

    On the back of the thread running now where there's a debate regarding 4200 & GS current values, and as I often wonder where current values stand, it would be interesting to see what the SM-learned see values at - I don't think the below table is editable but maybe can be pasted in Excel for...

    Lovely blue GS

    Great idea - I'll start a new thread for this as I have often thought it would be good to have an indicative price index.

    Think it cost me £300 or just-under to get mine done at Lepsons.

    4200 sitting down on one side ?

    My 4200 Facelift was the same - I had Giallo adjust it to GS settings when they did the geometry - definitely an improvement in ride and looks even though its only 10mm change!

    Strong 4200 prices

    Kenny I understand that there were only 85x 4200 & GS registered in 2007! I have an 2006 Argento Luna 4200 which there were just 11x 4220 & GS registered in this colour this year! So very very rare :clap1: EDIT: these are UK numbers only!
