M. O. T. – September 2025
Odometer – 78, 218
‘V8 URJ’s’ muscular Giorgetto Giugiaro designed bodywork looks fantastic in its Grigio Nuvolari livery. A true four-seater Italian thoroughbred GT, ‘V8 URJ’ is offered here in fine order and under the stewardship of its fifth owner. With 78, 218 miles covered to date, ‘V8 URJ’ is a rare car being one of just 265 right hand drive models ever built. Acquired by the current keeper in September 2021 and having covered only around 3, 000 miles in this ownership. It has enjoyed an oil and filter change each subsequent year during this ownership. Benefitting from a comprehensive service history and a generous accompanying archive of paperwork, ‘V8 URJ’ comes with its original tool kit, manuals and long MOT valid until September 2025.
The heart of ‘V8 URJ’ is surely its F136 R V8 version of the mighty Ferrari / Maserati engine. As powerful as it is good looking, this unit was originally rated at 385 bhp at a sonorous 7, 000 rpm.’V8 URJ’ comes with the purists’ choice of traditional six-speed manual gearbox and its accompanying three pedals. This combination would have originally gifted ‘V8 URJ’ a 170mph plus top speed and a 0-60mph time of under five seconds. The admired Skyhook adaptive damping system was cutting edge for 2003 and endows a 4200GT with admirable road dynamics. The sporting cabin of ‘V8 URJ’ is no less impressive and finished in cream leather with caramel coloured piping. There is plenty of Italianate detailing in here, from the elliptical clock to the embossed trident motifs on the headrests of the high backed sports seats. The rear seats are surprisingly commodious and actually useable despite the swooping coupe bodywork. The condition throughout appears excellent and commensurate with a considerate, even pampered ownership history.
With the dynamic prowess of the Ferrari derived V8 howler of an engine and an impressive combination of poise and comfort afforded by the Skyhook system, the 4200GT quickly became a well respected alternative to the usual suspects of 911 or XK8. Importantly the 4200GT offers the benefit of being significantly more commodious than either for both people and luggage. A great value modern classic GT hero car, surely.
In summary:
Looking highly desirable thanks to accomplished styling and an appealing livery
Offering a full service history and ample accompanying paperwork
A rare, Ferrari engine GT with room for four and their weekend luggage
