Someone Turned A Maserati 4200 Into An Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Replica

With the same basic platform and an engine from the same 'family', the 4200 has a a lot in common with the 8C. We advise against turning one into an 8C replica, though...

If you want an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione, you need to be prepared to bring a lot of money to the table. In fact the cheapest we’ve been able to find for sale at the moment will set you back a cool £165k.

However, if you’re geeky enough, you’ll know the 8C is essentially a Maserati. It was built on a modified Maserati platform by Maserati in Modena, and even used one of the company’s sonorous N/A V8s. So, buy a Maserati 4200, and you’ll have something far cheaper (prices start at just £13k) with the same basic platform and an older, smaller version of that aforementioned V8 up front. Or you could go one step further like this guy, and actually turn a 4200 into an 8C replica.

Although based on this rather awkward-looking 4200 - which is now for sale - you probably shouldn’t.

Around the back it doesn’t look so bad, and it seems to be wearing a set of heavily curbed but pretty Brera S 19-inch wheels. The front is where it all goes wrong though. Sure, there’s the whole triangular bonnet and grille deal like on the real car, but it looks plain weird sat on the front of the otherwise unaltered 4200. And what’s with those spotlights? They look like something purchased at the nearest DIY store and stuck on with superglue.

The seller also states that “nine SP-30 points forces reluctant sale,” which is right up there in the list of things you shouldn’t mention in a classifieds advert.

Tempted? It’s up for £15, 950. But if it was us, we’d stick with a standard 4200.
