Pre-bids

Highlights

  • 20,942 warranted miles
  • Dry stored throughout its lifetime
  • Extensive service history
  • Last serviced in September 2026, ~65 miles ago
  • Private registration plate included in the sale
  • The vendor describes this as possibly the best example of its kind in the country
  • MOT to May 2027 with no advisories

The Appeal

The Maserati Spyder 4200 doesn’t do subtle. Giugiaro penned the body, Ferrari built the V8, and four exhaust pipes provide a soundtrack worthy of Pavarotti. Drop the roof, thumb the starter, and that V8 does the rest: a car bought with the heart, not the spreadsheet.
This 2003 example has reportedly been dry stored throughout its life and has covered a mere 20,942 miles. The vendor is confident this is possibly the best example of its kind in the country. Mechanically, the engine is said to run well through the full rev range, with no warning lights and normal oil pressure and water temperature readings. Having been serviced as recently as September 2026, and with MOT to May 2027 showing no advisories, this Spyder 4200 has everything going for it.
