    Tipo 26, Chassis 2514, then owned by the Doune-Collection in Scottland. First, in 1931, sold new to Dresden/Germany, then, in 1941, to another German who kept it until 1966. Then sold to Doune. Later sold to Alain de Cadenet, then sold back to Germany, then sold to the USA for a very short period and then, until today, owned in a fantastic collection of race cars in Germany. It is one of the most original Tipo 26 in existance.

    This photo was taken in 1947. Chassis #2514 was driven by his then time owner Kurt Kiefer in a local hillclimb in Germany. It was one of the very early race events shortly after WWII.

    Fascinating. The crowd is huge so obviously there was a real desire to see auto racing again. Thanks for the information and putting the photograph in context.

    Oups! Not Brands Hatch, but Reims, Trophée International on 30 June 1963. Lucky Casner retired while second overall ten laps from the finish...

    Good catch! Originally the car had no frame to hold the front screen. Interesting photo...

    More precise: Tipo 26, chassis #2514, at that time owned by Lord Doune in Scottland. Later sold to Alain de Cadenet, then to Echard Berg, then to someone in the USA (who actually never saw the car as it was always stored in the worksop of Sean Danaher in the UK), then sold to a German collect who still owns it today.
    Its one of the most original Tipo 26.

    I love Maserati. I really need to go drive a late model Ghibli. The old pictures are beautiful dreams when motor racing was so much more a matter of gentlemen racers, and hand built cars where beauty was the overriding technology.

    I pretty much picked out every Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati, OSCA, Italian ect. racing and auto show photo I could find from their collection. It took weeks and is amazing.

    The coupe is the "5000GT", chassis #104.002, a one off that never was a real 5000GT. The photo shows its first appearance in dark blue color.Later it was painted in a green-ish silver and its exterior was changed to a Mistral-like design. The car is now in silver and under restoration.

    The race car is an OSCA 2000. Lovely little racer, fast, easy to handle and a joy to look at!

    Welcome to the club. BTW I like a lot of Italian marques, it's just that Maserati has not as yet gotten it's due.

    With all respect to Ferrari...maybe it is the under dog nature of Alfa and Maserati that makes them such a wonderful surprise when you get behind the wheel. I thoroughly enjoyed my 308 GTSi...it was flawless as a daily driver. But my '85 Biturbo E Coupe was actually quicker. And I don't know how I'm going to get ride of my 2021 base model Giulia...it has all the fun of a vintage car in terms of feedback and excitement to drive, yet is also makes me feel I am being well taken care of in the comfort and design areas. And that is what keeps me looking at the Ghibli. If it gives me the driving fun and reliability of my Giulia, it could happen very quickly. And the truth is that there is a lot of Ferrari in the design and engineering personnel for both cars. Looking at the pictures of the old Maserati's, I thought it was a great rivalry between them and Ferrari. On the track and in the showroom.
