Yep same as my 1st 4200...just a revised version. No rear bee sting antenna new software up grades. Possible seven spoke alloys.

1st facelift was 2003. Differences as above with suspension changes also. Early 4200s share their suspension set up with the 3200 which was revised and improved with the first facelift. Second facelift in 2004 saw some interior changes, 7-spoke alloys as standard and revised front and rear bumpers that look similar to the GranSport. Probably some other stuff as well, but I'm not as familiar with 4200 revisions as others on here. Based on the car being a facelift #1 it's priced towards the top of the market.

Looks like a nice car this one. I had been in regular contact with Nareman @ Nuvola and he told me about this one last week. I was due to go and see it this week before the events of the weekend changed my plans a bit. He did send me over some information which may or may not be useful:
The 4200 is a pre-facelift car; Grigio Nuvolari with Beige leather. 39,000 miles. Will be serviced by Lancaster Maserati in Colchester prior to being sold.
It has as recently had new discs and pads all round and new Goodyear Eagle tyres.
It is a two owner car from new and is in excellent condition. It also has a sports exhaust fitted.
It will be priced at £18,995, including 12 months MOT and 12 months fully comprehensive warranty.

Some info that I have managed to obtain about revisions I hope is useful:
Launch cars were 2002/02 and criticised for very jerky gear changes, not great handling and some build quality issues. The model was revised with the first 12 months (which says something about how bad the very early cars were !)
Revised cars were 2003/03 reg onward (although there is sometimes some overlap.)
These were much improved. Better software for the Cambiocorsa system (noticeably smoother.) Better software setting for the Skyhook suspension, thicker anti-roll bars, better traction / stability (MSP on revised cars, ASR on pre-revised cars.)
Essentially, ASR is traction control only. It reduces power to the wheel that sense slip. Revised cars have MSP, which includes ASR traction control, but also includes stability control. All in all, a better system.
There were then improvements in build quality, even down to fitted thicker carpets !
Revised cars also has a new colour option (Argento Luna) and the prettier 7-spoke alloy wheel option.
These are definitely the car to go for, unless you can stretch to a facelift model, launched in July 2004 (known as a 2005 model year or 'facelift' car.)
These really are the most sought after and only 89 facelift Cambiocorsas were sold in the UK.
This site I am sure has been mentioned before but I found was very useful:
