    Understanding 4200 & looking

    I'm back on the hunt, this time for a 4200... I'd like a Spyder but perhaps a coupe after I fell in love with my doomed 3200GT shape (green, as in photo). I read somewhere that the Cambiocorsa gearbox was improved around 2003. Is this true? How do you know if it's an improved car? I have tried...

    Photos now... The ding can't be seen in my snaps. It's very gentle and has to be seen in better weather. It's on nearside front wing.

    SOLD 3200GT manual project

    I have just taken my 3200GT (May 2000, W reg) out having fitted new battery for the winter. The clutch went down and stayed down as I was taking it for a service! :eek: Everything turns OK still and there's a bit of drive available, but very stiff. Unfortunately, that combined with wanting to do...

    Thanks everyone. I had heard that he may have been on crutches, but that could be many things. I am very sorry to learn about his ankle which will not be a quick thing. So, I hope, Mike, you get well soon and feel better quickly. And apologies for chasing you as well. I do look forward to...

    Maserati Shed

    Just wondered, after an initial contact with Mike at Maserati Shed, I was going to make a booking to take my 3200GT down for some work. He was very helpful and inspired me with confidence.

    Am I bonkers?

    Thanks for comments. As it happened, it was an automatic and I was not keen on the system. I have had nothing but expensive problems on a friend's Peugeot 1007 and I hear nothing very positive about the QP semi-automatics. So I left it alone.
