Maserati Spyder 4.2 V8 Cambiocorsa

[Chris65]

Hi All
I'm thinking of purchasing a Maserati Spyder 4.2 V8 Cambiocorsa .. Its quite low mileage .. What are the pit falls and what should I be looking for ?

Thanks

Checks should be the same as for the coupe, clutch wear, front and rear suspension ball joints and bushes, cam cover leaks,and the air conditioning system.Also check the hood works correctly and had no damage.if it has been looked after it should have a comprehensive service history.! would also recommend an independent inspection.

Definitely requires an independent inspection from a specialist that know these cars.

Rust under rear lights
Frayed hood
Sticky or worn out switch gear
Poor history, esp on older low miles convertibles.

I'd say everything - I know - I have one - and I love it despite all ........ - sorry to be so uninformative!!

thanks for the feedback .. Yeha One owner from new and full SH I think .. will see tomorrow and look for the areas pointed out ... I'm no mechanic so will look to get it inspected ..

Remember a correct SH is every year regardless or every 12k whichever is sooner... hence why most low miles cars do not have a FSH.

Looks like I'm soon to be an owner.Had it independantly inspected and its been given a good bill of health...

Paint match on that front wing is not the best.
Where is it advertised?
I’d buy on condition at this age as it must be 20yr old

Hoping that's the shadow from the Mezzanine above... first Gen car, be prepared for some scuttle shake... not that the later cars were much better.

Going back to the first picture I think that's a light change from the floor I certainly didn't notice it on inspection and I've had it inspection by an experienced performance car specialist that gave it the all clear...

Looks lovely! Silver and red interior is a great combo.

All you have to do now, is reprogram your SatNav to always include as many tunnels as possible on every journey
and you're sorted!

That's very nice, loving the red inetrior!
