Maserati 4200GT
Discussion
I realise that this is a big risk. But as my life circumstances have changed significantly over the past few months and I dont really do many miles now, I thought ‘Why not?’
Time will tell. The car has 95k full history either at Maserati or specialist. Recent new clutch as well. So here we are:

I assume your car's a cambiocorsa?
I really enjoyed my 4200CC.
I kept the box in sport mode, which took away much of the sluggish gear change sensation.
Keep an eye on clutch wear. I learned the hard way, when mine failed one the Brent Cross flyover one Friday night rush hour.
I made the traffic news!

I had an MC Victory Gransport, so similar, but not the same.
Always drive it in sport mode and in manual, be aware the clutch will not quite bite when going in reverse, so be cautious of long reverses.
Know that it will come up with random lights on the dash, don't worry about it, just switch on/of or disconnect the battery it will be fine.
Enjoy the start-up noise EVERY time, it is awesome.
Great cars, lots of fun, I miss mine every day.

I had the dash lights today but didn’t last long.
I used to own a Gransport, enjoy that engine note and turning around to look at when parked up. Undervalued cars imho. The build quality is not up-to Contemporary German offerings but as a weekend car to enjoy and admire they have a lot going for them. Look after it and don’t skimp on running costs and you will have fun. Try to go cheap and you will regret it.
It took me a week or two to get used to the gearbox but was actually ok 95% of the time. I found mine seemed happiest when being used as intended (enthusiastically)!, it seemed to just work when really enjoying that engine.
