I'm not going to take the bait Frank, I know when I am outnumbered

 

[Parisien]

Yes....but Nigel....you'd never even dream of making such an outlandish claim.....

Now thats a proper 4200.....with none of that Fiat/Alfa Selespeed gearbox nonsence..
even has the silver Brembo brake caliper option! Cool..

 

[nfm]

I am not sure "complicated" is the word I would have used ......

 

[Parisien]

...well maybe to Simon, its all a bit complicated......

Lets face it, when you are trying to sell a car you say what might tempt a buyer, whether what you are saying is strictly correct.
Before I bought mine, I was tempted to buy a manual, worried about the Cambiocorsa. However like most, once driven for the first time, in anger, no way was I going to buy a manual!

 

[dickygrace]

If it were better, it would've sold. It's £4k cheaper than an equivalent cambiocorsa, proper bargain if it weren't manual.

 

[Parisien]

Drove a manual......whilst you think you've more control...do you?

Keeping foot on accelerator as you change in sport must be quicker than a manual!

I think the interior colour also makes it a difficult one to sell.
Personally, grey should have been left behind in the 80's.

I agree.

Yep, grey is not a nice colour......It should be on an old man Merc....Thats where you used to see lots of grey leather.

 

[Parisien]

Agreed...any colour but grey....is grey a colour or just a statement....ie....old/boring and lacking in an ability to colour co-ordinate?

I reckon the grey leather if in good condition, looks great on some colour cars. Looks lovely with black or Argento Luna.

My Sebring blue 4200 had two tone gray and I personally thought it looked great in the flesh/hide

 

[nfm]

Grey not for me. A mesh grill would help as well.

 

[Andyk]

Maserati seems to do two sort of greys...There is a very, very light on that looks OK then the normal grey.

 

[MAF260]

The light grey interior looks much better in the flesh - My old 3200 had it and it looked lovely against the Grigio Alfieri exterior.

 

[Andyk]

The high miles VS on pistonheads has the light grey leather and that looks good....darker grey looks pants.
