    Thanks very much for the additional photos. Now #052 might be worth the pre-sale estimate at Bonhams, although the sad reality is that removing the red paint probably takes 10% off the market value.

    It would be very interesting to see the extent to which authenticity has been pursued in the engine compartment, if anyone has photos. And does anyone know who did the work ?

    Don,
    as the car looks now much more "complete" I don`t agree with you about the 10% less of its market value!

    Now its clearly a car for Villa d`Este and Pebble (although the resto is not 100% correct!).

    Ciao!

    Cool, I love the Zagato Panoramica designs!
    I'd like to see it at Villa d'Este.

    As much as I love the 1954 A6GCS PF Berlinetta
    I'm yet to see vintage period pics of that car ...

    all I've seen are those typical show photos surrounded by perfect grass and other cars :eek:


    Would anyone please post period pics of my favorite Pininfarina design ?

    Is this car 2057 with its original chassis and engine?
    I was simple wondering.
    It is a very beautiful car.

    Yesterday i was at the factory and saw for the first time a sample of a complete folder from the archives. The particular folder I saw was for a very early Ghibli Spy 115 10 _ _and had over 20 pieces of paper in it. I was amazed at the level of detail that was kept and not thrown out.
    included in this folder was a hand written note from the buyer on hotel letterhead, who at the time was staying at the Hotel Real Fini.
    There was also a work order showing that the car had been returned to the factory some 40,000+ KLM later for service.
    There was much more information than I had originally imagined.
    Today I will return to have a look at my folder and report my findings.
    From Modena

    In years past they would provide copies gratis if you asked nicely, were patient and caught them on a good day. Now it seems to be a revenue opportunity. Fair enough.

    For my '49 A6, the factory had a road test report (signed by Bertocchi!), the initial shipping documents and subsequent correspondence regarding parts and repair, about a dozen pages in total but invaluable for determining the car's ownership history and very evocative.

    Many thanks for the early photos of #2057 and 2059.

    Sorry for the spelling error. I have corrected my question to "simply" wondering.

    Is this car 2057 with its original chassis and engine?
    I was simply wondering and was hoping for a simple "yes" or "no" answer.
    It is a very beautiful car.

    What wonders me most is, that at the time this georgeous cars were launched and recognised as stunning beautiful, nobody at "Mimmo" Dei`s dealership in Rome took a photo of them in the premises.

    A stands for Alfieri (Maserati)
    6 stands for 6 cylinder
    G stands for "Ghisa" (iron) block
    CS stand for Corsa/Sport, being the car originally conceived (in single cam form) for racing both in Formula 2 and in sports car racing, in this case with headlights and fenders fitted.
    As Francis should know very well, the two tone of blue berlinetta here mentioned was sitting on chassis 2057 at the Turin show.
    As told in detail in a previous thread ("Is this the sexiest Maserati ever?") this car and a second one of the original four berlinettas made, were both disconnected from the original chassis early in their lives. While the other berlinetta ended-up with chassis 2089, mine (originally 2057) is now fitted to chassis 2070, originally sold to me, together with the body (still with its original paint), by Corrado Cupellini in 1977.
