Attractive 2005 example

4.2-litre V8 and ‘Cambiocorsa’ automated manual gearbox
Just 33,000 miles supported by MOT and service history

The car is to be sold with the registration number FJ05 OKE

The Appeal

The Maserati Coupé debuted in 2002, bringing together a Giorgetto Giugiaro exterior, Enrico Fumia interior with space for four, and charismatic V8 engine. An evolution of the 3200 GT, the Coupé is sometimes referred to as the 4200 GT, reflecting the capacity of its larger engine.

A transaxle gearbox gives the Maserati Coupé excellent weight distribution, and classic double wishbone suspension provides sure-footed handling.

This fine 2005 model features 18” 7-spoke sport wheels and the more modern grille with horizontal bars that was introduced a year earlier, and is finished in ‘Grigio’ metallic black paint. The dark exterior contrasts with the ‘Avorio’ cream leather interior, which the owner says has been “fully refurbished”, with all switchgear working as it should.

The owner reports that the car is in excellent mechanical condition, with both the 4.2-litre engine and 6-speed automated manual gearbox in good health and free of modification. The car has been kept in a garage and has Maserati service history, detailed below.
