The Appeal
The Maserati Spyder combined open-top Italian grand touring with a sonorous 4.2-litre V8 and elegant Giugiaro-penned styling. Produced between 2001 and 2007, it remains one of the more accessible and rewarding routes into Maserati ownership, offering an engaging driving experience with the roof up or down.
This 2003 example has been in the care of one family for 13 years, during which time it has been diligently maintained. Stored under cover from October through to May each year, it has reportedly never been exposed to snow or salt, a reassuring detail for any prospective buyer mindful of structural integrity. The vendor describes it as a good, solid, reliable car and a joy to drive, with the engine firing immediately and sounding wonderful. An extensive history file covers the current 13-year period of ownership and is supplemented by a large folder of paperwork from previous keepers, we are told. image.png1.37 MB
