    WTB: 4200 spyder manual

    I'm looking to buy a 4200 spyder I know, I know, hens' teeth. But, what the heck! It must have a manual gearbox. Preferably, with a light colour interior. I'm a returning member to this forum. I've owned two Maseratis in the past, an 05 4200CC and an 06 QP, which I sold six years ago. A...

    I've just read a post on PH which refers to a "kiss" between a Maserati and a Ferrari at last weekend's Supercar Event. (Dad's Day Out). Anyone on here involved? I know Benny has given rides in his car at this event in the past. I hope it was not too serious. :(

    QP. "Graunchy" rear doors.

    A small problem with my car that's been there since I bought it. When I open or close the rear doors, they don't have a smooth operation. There's some resistance and a very slight "graunchy" sound. Indeed, on close inspection, the nearside door doesn't sit perfectly flush. I seem to...

    QP Battery Question

    Does my 2006 duo-select QP have a battery isolator knob a la a 4200? I have an intermittent electrical glitch in the gear select system and I remember when I had my 42 that a battery "reset" often did the trick. Thanks. :)

    Where do you find the engine number on a 2006 QP?

    I need this number so that Eurospares can supply me with the correct replacement ignition coils. I've looked in the engine bay. But, I can't see the plate. I assume that it is located under one of the plastic covers in the bay. I found this in the passenger door pillar. I know that the...

    After two and a half years it's time to sell the 4200. I've enjoyed every moment of ownership and I have absolutely no intention of abandoning the Maserati brand any time soon. However, circumstances change and the 'reasonable' thing for me to do is trade her in for a Quattroporte. Actually...

    ........and it's not the fuse. A strange one. I plugged a faulty Tom Tom charger into my 4200CC lighter socket recently and the socket stopped working.
