MASERATI 8CL 1946
\"INDIANAPOLIS 500"
Tipo8CL
built in 1946 for the Milan team and driven by Villoresi at Indianapolis in that
year. Subsequently by Sommer at Lila,
by Villoresi at Barcelona and then Farina
who won the Mar del Plata GP during
the 1948 Temporada in
Argentina. Sold in the US
to Fred Agabashian following the Temporada, she was driven by him in the
1949 Indianapolis 500. She sat for years in the
Brickyard Museum until it
was traded for a car in the UK. It
was sent for restoration when we purchased her and shipped her to
the USA
in time for the
Maserati
Celebration at Laguna Seca.
MASERATI 5000 GT
FRUA 1962 \"AGA
KAHN\"
In 1959 Maserati developed
a 4.5 litre engine that could
produce 400 HP in their 450S racecar. They decided to make the first
street \"Supercar\"
for a few wealthy
clients. The results were outstanding and the 5000
GT became the popular choice of royalty
throughout Europe and the Middle East.
This chassis was built on
order of the Aga Kahn to be presented to his new daughter-in-law
Rita Hayworth. We made a study of all 38
cars
produced and tracked most
of them. We bought and sold four in the early 1990's. This one
fetching a world record price of $953,000.
MASERATI 300S 1956
The 300S had its best year
in 1956 and was only a step away from the World Championship. We
found this one vanquishing in a garage
in
South America where she saw
her glory days in the hands of works drivers like Musso, Fangio and Stirling Moss who won the
Beunos Aries GP
with her. We carried out an
extensive two year restoration and previewed her at the
Silverstone
Historic Festival with Moss at the wheel.
The spectators rose to a
standing ovation for Stirling who had not driven her since the
GP in 1956. He drove back to the paddock to
hand
me the keys with a remark
that made my efforts worthwhile. He looked at me and said " she was
prepared better than the factory prepared
her at the
Busnos Aries GP\"'
. She went on to win best of class at
Luis Vitton Concours D' Elegance and was sold at a
great profit shortly after.
