2002 Maserati 4200 Cambio Corsa Coupe

Robert purchased his much loved Maserati in 2016 with approximately 35,000 miles on, which is a mere 6,000 less than he has managed to cover in the past six years. So why a Maserati Cambicorsa? Well, why not? Italian styling by the Giorgetto Giugiaro design house has the fantastic 4.2 litre V8 Ferrari engine with an F1 style flappy paddle shift. The interior is covered in Italy's finest leather, and it's a really great car to drive.

The colour would play an essential part for Robert as he had his heart set on a blue one. After looking at green, silver, grey and white, he knew blue would be the right colour for him, bright enough to stand out from the rest. This particular car was spotted for sale with another one not too far away. The decision came down to the amount of paperwork that the Maserati came with, along with the excellent service history, not to mention the low mileage.

Even though Robert has only covered on average 1,000 miles a year, he did mention that “every mile has been an enjoyable one, and it’s a car which puts a smile on your face as soon as you step in and fire up the V8”. Unfortunately, Robert is due to move abroad for work where he will be for two years, and with nowhere long-term to store the Maserati, it means he has to part with it.

Finished in the striking Mediterraneo Blue Metallic, the Maserati looks to be in good condition, and even though it's 20 years old, the Cambiocorsa can still hold its own in the styling department and has aged really well.

Starting at the front of the car, there are some age related stone chips on the front bumper to note. The lights are in good condition, with no cracks or splits in the covers, and the bonnet looks to align as it should. Robert did mention that this has been repainted to remove some of the chips from the leading edge.

Looking down the fine lines of the Maserati, the car is nice and straight with no dings to point out. However, quite a common area for issues is on the front edge of the rear wheel arches caused by stone chips. You’ll be glad to know that this has been addressed, and the car received paint on both quarter panels. If you look closely, you can see evidence that the vehicle has had some paint where the bumper meets the quarter on the nearside and also around the aerial. The doors align as they should and open and close as you would expect. All of the windows look in good order, together with the trim and rubbers, which have no corrosion or perishing.

At the car's rear, the lights are in good order. There is a small amount of tarnishing to the boot handle, and just above, the Maserati script is in good order. The bumper does have parking sensors fitted. However, there is an issue with these, believed to be one of the sensors at fault, but this would need confirming by a specialist. Quad tailpipes finish off the rear, from which the V8 plays its incredible soundtrack.

Fitted with the factory 18” wheels, these have some light marks on the faces but it should be a relatively easy job for any alloy wheel refurbisher to freshen them up. These have been shod in Michelin Pilot Sport 3, which have a decent amount of tread remaining.

Biscuit leather was the Italian's colour choice when it rolled off the production line in 2002. Luxury was undoubtedly on the agenda when the interior of the Maserati was designed. There is leather everywhere you look, the door cards, dashboard, seats, centre console, and looking up, the headlining is also leather.

The electric seats are working as they should, and the driver's seat has memory function. The leather has minimal wear to the usual high wear areas such as the bolsters, and the door cards are in good order with no scuffs or damage to mention. In the rear, the seat doesn’t look to have had a great deal of use, so it is therefore in excellent condition. The carpets are blue and in excellent condition and are a nice contrast to the biscuit leather. A set of fitted mats are present, but lifting these shows the heel pads are in excellent condition with no signs of wear on either side.

Matching the seat colour, the dashboard is in good order, again with no scuffs to note. The instruments are working as they should, with no warning lights displayed when the engine is running, and the odometer has a reading of 40,922 miles. The switchgear is typical of Italian cars of this era, where the buttons have started to go a little sticky. However, it's not the end of the world; as if it did bug you, there are kits available with covers to fit over the switches that the seller has looked into. The factory head-unit has satellite navigation and was updated with the latest disc available, but this was approximately ten years ago. Robert has reported that the switchgear is working as it should and the air conditioning is blowing cold. The only issue is the internal switch for the boot release, which is located inside the glove box, is not working. Still, the boot can be opened from the keyfob. Inside the boot is the factory tool kit hidden under the floor, and there is a CD multichanger mounted behind the panel on the nearside.

At the heart of the Maserati is the 4.2 litre V8 producing 390bhp. Mechanically the car is in excellent fettle. Having covered relatively low mileage for the year, it has an excellent history to back this up. The car fires up as it should, and the V8 comes to a smooth idle with no untoward noises coming from the engine bay.

It pulls strongly through the six-speed automatic gearbox with a smooth change, or for some spirited driving, you have the option of the F1-style paddle shifters. The brakes are reported to bring the car to a stop in a straight line and with no issues; approximately 5,000 miles ago, the front discs were replaced.

With future proofing in mind, Robert has had the Maserati waxoyled on the underside to prevent any unwanted corrosion from creeping in.

With just over 40,000 miles, the Maserati has seen a total of nine services, with the most recent approximately 100 miles ago at 40,781, so there is no need to worry about any upcoming services for a while.

All the handbooks and instructions are present, and the service booklet is in the folder, along with the nice added touch of the original sales brochure.

There is a good collection of previous invoices for work carried out on the Maserati, most of which have been carried out by main Maserati dealers or independent specialists, ensuring everything has been kept ticking over as it should do. The V5 is present along with every old MoT certificate, with the current one due to expire on the 10th June 2023.

What a lot of car for the money! You will receive an enthusiast-owned 2002 Maserati Cambiocorsa with low mileage for the age of the vehicle, just 40,922 to be precise, and it is finished in the lovely colour of Mediterraneo Blue Metallic with a Biscuit leather interior.

Covering approximately 1,000 miles a year since Robert took ownership, it has clearly been pampered more than driven, making it an excellent well looked after Maserati.

We estimate this lovely 2002 luxury Italian modern classic to sell for between £11,000 - £15,000.
