Since being in Modena last week and having a look around the Maserati showroom (they wouldn't let us in the factory with no notice )

I have found myself looking into the Maserati 4200 Spyder. Might go and look at one at the weekend.

Have I gone mad ? Running costs don't seem that bad. They all have the Cambiocorsa gearbox though, by all accounts there are only 2 Spyder manuals in the country. They look lovely and are supposed to drive well and be reliable enough with the clutch being the only weak point.

Anyone driven one or have any experience? and have I lost the plot.

This one looks good and at a reasonable price http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/184650.htm with depreciation on the Spyders not 'as' bad as the coupe it would be reasonable to factor about

 

We need pics of the trip soon............................lots of um

As for the Masser, I like the coupe in peril white. Saw this one in Rapallo

You have an idea of reliability issues now . Like any car that was >
