Just bought a 4200 GT

[DrQuad]

Hi, just joined. And bought my first Maserati 4200 GT. 59000 Miles on a 2003. Basically had a Ghibli Diesel on lease through my business and its going back. But caught the bug, so thought I would buy one. Bit of a knee-jerk really. But have to say, love the car.

welcome on board and we need the obligatory photo fix

Welcome, good choice, manual or CC?

As above we need photos

 

[DrQuad]

Thanks for the welcome. Here you go, also something on the interior I want to get repaired. So any ideas welcome. Cars a Manual and got it Tuesday. Bought it from a guy in Derbyshire who had it for just over a year but never drove it. He was very knowledgable and the car was advertised at Shiltech. But he sold it to me directly. Not driven it far, but so far its great. A mate of mine had a 3200 GT new back in the 2000s. But it cost him dearly lol.

Seem to have posted loads of the same. Just for emphasis lol.

Zag.... GT's are all manuals and CC's are all auto's.
Welcome DrQuad...... Nice car mate!

Welcome to the forum, there's not many manual 4200's around here, many are Cambiocorsas
It looks in great condition, enjoy!

Robotised or man with stick

you'll probably need to find an a car trimmer that does leather connolising for the seat

Welcome. Car seat will be an easy fix. You can get a guy to come round and do it.

Welcome.

I had a 2003 as my first Maser... 14 years later and Im on my third 4200/GS.

Easy fix with the seat, deep clean, sand down, dye, colonise and paint.

Enjoy

Sorry....couldn't resist

When I bought one of the 4200's off a dealer a while back he couldn't get his head around it was a manual. It has two pedals....it's an auto

Welcome to the forum.

I've got a 2003 manual as well, but mine has done twice that mileage so technically it's worth less than nothing.

If you are close to the South Coast I recommend SportsItalia in Southampton. They did a lovely job of the driver's seat in mine which looked in a similar state to yours.
