2007 Maserati 4200 GT

This particular 2007-registered example is finished in the attractive colour combination of Blu Nettuno over a beige leather interior with silver and Nero detailing, and presents in very good condition throughout.

One of the last examples of the 4200 GT off the production line, there are numerous design elements that can be linked up to the succeeding GranSport, and also benefits from the following factory fitted optional extras:

• Red brake calipers

• Nero (black) dashboards and door cards with contrasting stitching

• Heated electric folding mirrors

• Electric memory seats

• Sat-Nav

• 6-CD changer

Having been regularly and meticulously maintained, including a recent service at Verdi Ferrari along with a new clutch around 2500 miles ago. The standard exhaust system has also been switched out for a much more sonorous, aggressive-sounding stainless steel system, but the original pipework and silencers are included with the sale of the vehicle.

The lines of this wonderful GT coupe are still arresting to this day, even before you hear the amplified V8 soundtrack courtesy of the aftermarket exhaust.

On this example, the bodywork is wonderfully straight throughout, with only the most minor of pin dents visible on the nearside rear wing.

The Blue Nettuno paintwork is in generally very good condition and retains a wonderfully deep metallic shine, though there are a few patches of lacquer peel which are particularly noticeable on the bonnet, along with a few other patches on the front bumper, offside rear wing and mirror caps. There is also some minor bubbling around the nearside mirror base, though this is hard to see unless you’re up close, along with the usual smattering of stone chips.

While all four wheels are in presentable condition, the front nearside wheel has a few small patches of kerbing, meaning the wheel would benefit from refurbishment to bring it back to its best.

Elsewhere, there are no signs of accident or impact damage, and all the lenses remain in good condition with some signs of condensation visible in the nearside foglight.

Inside, the cabin of this GT is in very good condition throughout, shrugging off its age with ease.

There is some minor wear to the front seat bolsters, though this is commensurate with the age and mileage of the vehicle, and there are no rips or tears to the material. The passenger seat has fared better, while the rear seats are in very good condition. The carpets are also free from major staining, though the Maserati-branded over mats are likely due a replacement.

The optional Nero dashboard and details are all in good shape, while the steering wheel, gear selector, handbrake and other high-traffic areas are all free from damage and any major markings. The switchgear on the centre console has some wear-and-tear to the graphics, though the switches themselves all seem to work as they should.

Speaking of mileage, the clocks on this example have been swapped out for a set of teal-coloured items which currently show a mileage of 4,488 but the original items are included with the sale which show a reading of 70,935 miles. This mileage is confirmed by an invoice dated 12 April 2018 from Carrs Maserati Ferrari stating that the original clocks were swapped out on their indicated mileage, and the items currently fitted to the car were displaying 0 miles at the time of installation.

Underneath, the chassis of this 4200 looks to be in generally good condition, though it is coated with the usual grime and dirt associated with regular use in all climates and weather conditions.

In addition to the grime, there are a few patches of surface ‘bloom’ which are typical for a car of this era, along with a recent MOT advisory for corroded brake discs, though there is no signs that have set our alarm bells ringing, nor the MOT testers, so you’re probably pretty safe here.

Open up the bonnet, and you’re greeted by the 4.2-litre V8 in all its glory. While the engine bay would certainly benefit from a thorough cleaning, there doesn’t appear to be any issues here, with the block and ancillaries looking to be in good condition and no sign of any oil or fluid leaks.

This V8-powered GT starts first time and with ease, sending out a raucous roar from the upgraded exhaust system. Settling into a nice idle, the car drives, turns, stops and shifts gear with ease, and there were no untoward noises or warning lights noted during our short test drive.

Included with the vehicle is an impressively rich history, spanning the vehicle’s entire life from its initial delivery by renowned dealer H.R Owen to the present day, including the aforementioned recent service by Verdi Ferrari on 20 March 2021.

The service book is stamped throughout and is well-documented, with work being backed up by numerous invoices from the likes of specialist workshop Autoshield. The original handbook is present and correct, as is the Maserati book pack, two sets of keys, numerous old MOT certificates and the V5 document showing six former keepers.

In terms of invoicing, there are numerous big-ticket invoices for work ranging from services to replacement clutches and air-conditioning compressors and various other wear-and-tear items. It’s evident that this 4200 GT has been well-cared-for throughout its lifetime, and the history being largely comprised of a mixture of specialist and dealer workshops certainly backs this up.

In total, there is over £20,000 worth of receipts with the vehicle, suggesting it has been cared for regardless of cost and left wanting for nothing.

With visions of long-distance, trans-European road trips on the horizon, the GT car will once again have its time in the spotlight, and what better way to see Europe or even the best of the UK than from behind the wheel of a stunning V8-powered coupé?

This 2007 Maserati 4200 GT is in rude mechanical health and very good overall condition, and is ready for the next owner to simply sit in the drivers seat, turn the key and enjoy that incredible V8 engine note.
