The Maserati 222 4V was hand-built by the Modena factory from 1991 - 1994. Only 130 examples
were produced Of which 11 were RHD & 119 LHD). It was the first model to have the 4 valve
DOHC heads on the 90 degree V6 2.8 litre engine, boosting standard power output by over 50 bhp
to 280 bhp at 5,500 rpm. On this model active electronic suspension that could be adjusted whilst
driving was introduced. Being the result of over 10 years of development the 222 4V proved to be
a sweet & reliable car. Some owners report having done huge mileages with these (Over
350,000km). Indeed provided they're properly maintained they're great cars with few electronics to
go wrong. Also being berefit of electronic tickery such as ABS or traction control but endowed with
a traditional LSD and lightweight, this model offers an exceptional & exotic driving experience.
Being of 1994 this particular example's one of the very last 222 4v's made (No 113). It's been
stunningly well looked after, always garaged since new with a dust proof cover, the paintwork
looks as good today as when the car left the factory 16 years ago. Not having been driven in rain,
the underside's completely rust free and the engine, transmission, etc. is notably leak free too. The
car's like new and is probably one of the best examples left in existence today.
Mechanical Features: The V6 twin IHI water cooled turbo'd 24 valve engine's a gem. Equipped
with twin air to air intercoolers hidden behind the grille and bumper it makes 280 bhp as standard,
at 5,500 bhp. With a dry weight of only 1,313kg, performance is remarkably strong. The sports 4
tail pipe exhaust system barks a menacing idle & will build revs quickly to just over 6,000 before
next gear's selected. This particular example's been treated to a later model's Getrag 6 Speed box
and matching final drive, to enable effortless high speed cruising. The differential is a Maserati
LSD with a built in cooler. Brakes are powerful, with (vented) discs at the front and rear, along with
inboard drums for the emergency brake. Suspension is by McPherson strut at each corner,

combined with electronic damping adjustment, on a scale of 1-4 (Standard setting is 2). Interior is
beautifully appointed with a tasteful blend of black leather, grey suede (For dashboard & door
inserts, plus the headlining) and walnut veneer. Note this hasn't been a smoker's car and always
being stored indoors & under cover, the interior hasn't aged at all. The leather is soft and well
cared for and veneers are as new. There are some well thought of design features. For example,
the front seats automatically travel forwards when tilted, to give rear seat occupants ease of
access. The rear parcel shelf has built in retractable sun blinds and there are reading lights for
each of the passengers. The rear seats have 3 belts, but this is really more of a 4 seater, to be
comfortable. One of the nicest design features is the dashboard. It's all leather trimmed - even the
instrument surround. This helps provide a real feel of quality, as does the smell of leather as you
open the doors. Last, but by no means least - there's the hallmark Maserati clock, a feature on
almost all examples built since Maserati's 1926 victory in the Targa Florio.
Exterior: It was also on this model that the front received the fresh headlight design, with colour
coded surrounding grilles, integrated driving lights in the revised front bumper & colour coded side
skirts to compliment the improved design of rear bumper with exhaust pipes and central grille
integrated in the centre - which combined gave the car a much fresher look. Note also the factory
vented bonnet and windscreen spoiler, which helped improve aerodynamics to keep the
windshield wipers on the screen at higher road speeds. On this model wider 16 inch O.Z. Route
wheels were introduced with 7J front and 8J rear width, which also gave a wider stance and a
further improvement in handling. Note that the rear brakes are quite inboard, which means - if the
new owner ever wanted to upgrade the wheels, some quite deep dished rear wheels would fit
nicely. We can source and supply custom offset Work Meister S1 wheels and other designs via
www.neweraparts.com if desired.
Condition: It's hard to believe this is a 16 year old car. It's evident from it's condition - it's not had
hard use at all, further evidenced by the lack of stone chips on the front bumper and leading edge
of the bonnet. It would appear the previous owner enjoyed his Maserati ownership most, by
keeping this car in pristine condition. It's clearly been beautifully maintained regardless of cost -
which for an exotic car like this in Japan looked after by Cornes (Official Maserati importer) is
hardly inexpensive. The paint work gleams from having been well maintained. Showing no micro-
scratches or fading, it's evident it was washed before being stored away after use. Note how the
red paint isn't faded from ageing at all. The engine bay has none of the usual corrosion and
peeling of paint from the engine covers and shows no oil leaks at all. Note that Japanese roads
aren't salted (Except remote mountain areas) - and this car's got ZERO corrosion. Even the
exhausts still have their original Silver & black paint. Interior's in similarly unmarked condition with

no wear to leather, perfect condition veneers and unmarked suede trim and the boot looks to be
unused, as are the two foam tire inflation devices which came with this model instead of a spare
wheel. Despite having no protective rubbing strips, the sides are completely straight with no pin
dents. Even the bumper corners show no sign of ever having been scuffed. All we could find is a
small imperfection of paint on the passenger C pillar and some minor stone chips to the underside
of the rear bumper and a mostly polished out light line scratch (Not photographable) on the
passenger front wing. There are some minor scratches on the wheel edges too. Amazing
condition. We've never come across an example this tidy - which is why we couldn't resist having it
for stock!Testing: The only fault we could find on the entire car is the electric antenna not working.
This may be a disconnected electric signal from the head unit. Drives perfectly with good
suspension control, excellent braking and powerful performance. No faults at all to report, not even
so much as an oil drip!This car is currently stored (Under cover) in Yokohama and is ready for
shipping to any worldwide destination. Being Left Hand Drive it may be of particular interest for
Canada (This model was not officially imported there), or for European destinations. It can also be
shipped to the UK and supplied fully registered.
UK OTR price is £13,895 inclusive of 12 month's comprehensive warranty, new MOT & 6 month's
road tax. Alternatively we can supply at £12,995 for DIY UK registration (Easy to do - we'll provide
full assistance). If you're in Europe, ask about our FOB Package. Please contact us for further
details on reserving this car - But hurry, if you're serious, classic Maseratis of such fine quality are
rarely available, especially as affordable as this one!

(1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that
we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so
we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a
car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required.
(2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as
your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we
will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget
too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can
find, plus a set fee of 900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the
corresponding saving.
(3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if
applicable). The deposit is usually 1,000. If you want a car worth over 10K OTR,
then the deposit is 1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should
you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are
reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred
provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan.
(4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching
for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In
addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers
searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we
havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or
exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed,
though it frequently costs less.
(5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing
all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR
price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time
theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK.
(6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time
the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately
60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at
all times prior to you collecting it.
(7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so
that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our
UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing,
to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition.
(8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final
instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing,
registraton etc.
(9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt
spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days
for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs.
(10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury
aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA
tested & MOTd (If applicable).
All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is
fully valetted just before you collect it.
(11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as
the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the
car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate.
