The Maserati A6G/2000 was produced from 1954 through 1957 with around 60 examples being created. The coachwork was available from Zagato, Frua and Allemano, each with their own distinct style and purpose. The Zagato built cars were purpose-built road-racers; the Frua-bodied examples were elegant, extravagant, and fashion statements. The Allemano cars were sophisticated, subdued and luxurious. Zagato produced 20 A6G/2000 berlinettas between 1955 and1957, one of which is this example, the 1956 Maserati A6G 2000 Zagato Competition Berlinetta. It comes in Maserati racing red with a beige leather interior. It has a documented racing history including the 1957 Mille Miglia, Coppa Intereuropa, and the 1957 Tour of Sicily (called the Targa Florio today). Only recently the Maserati has received a full nut and bolt restoration by a team of noted Modenese craftsmen and will now be offered by Coys at their Monaco auction on April 30th. Look out for lot number 245!
