The seller offers for sale this 2003 Maserati Spyder 4200 cabriolet, powered by a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8 engine paired with a semi-automatic gearbox.
It has since covered a verified 70,000 km. Since August 2014, the car has been part of a private collection, only used in summer months and always kept in a climate-controlled garage.
Mechanical condition is good. The clutch was replaced in 2016 at 52,832 km, and the common Maserati fuel pump issue was addressed in 2025 with a new unit installed. All sensors were renewed in 2023. This car holds a valid technical inspection certificate.
The exterior of the car remains in largely original condition, with minor corrections. The rear left quarter was repainted following a minor parking scrape. There are also a few small dents and limited stone chipping noted on the bodywork. Paint and panel alignment otherwise remain consistent.
The interior features black full leather with red contrast stitching and is in good shape, showing only minor signs of wear. No missing or damaged parts are reported. The car retains all original features, including a period-correct integrated phone handset and factory equipment.
The Maserati Spyder 4200 is a significant chapter in the marque’s modern history, launching during Maserati’s renaissance in the early 2000s under Ferrari ownership. The model shares its DNA with the Coupé 4200 GT and is powered by a 4.2-litre dry-sump Ferrari/Maserati V8 engine producing over 390 hp. This engine is paired with the “Cambiocorsa” electrohydraulic F1-style transmission, which allows paddle-shift control and enhances sporty driving. The design was penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Italdesign and reflects a blend of classic Italian GT styling with early 2000s performance cues.
The Spyder marked Maserati’s return to the US market and was one of the first models built at the Maranello-adjacent Modena facility with Ferrari-grade production standards. The open-top configuration makes it an appealing collector’s car today, especially when preserved in original condition with lower mileage, as in this case. With only about 13,000 units produced globally, and far fewer surviving in this condition, the Spyder 4200 offers an accessible route into both V8 Maserati ownership and early Ferrari-influenced engineering—making it a compelling choice for enthusiasts seeking a stylish grand tourer with pedigree and character.
