    Yessss.! This car is the only survivor of the 3 (or 4?) 16-cyl.-cars Maserati made in the very early 1930s and very original.

    I saw the car at Pomona 4 years ago and was very impressed.

    Yes! Little later the car was painted in a two tone dark grey and was sold to Holland.
    In the late 40s it showed up in the UK in red colour, registered LLF758. In the 70s the car was still red.

    Trust me, Joe does NOT need to be reminded of that fact. We had a couple of very wet years at that event.

    In the photo of post 11 the word "Turismo" had been erased from the rear.

    What is the meaning of Turismo and why was it erased?

    Very bold, specially for the period. I think it's a great car.

    alberto,
    not only you "think" its a great car - its a fantastic car! A masterpiece of engineering coming from a very small company Maserati was in the early 30s. Its shatteringly fast. Weakest point of the car -when well prepaired- where the tires which could not cope with the speeds in that period.
    The V4 was almost fatal for Taruffi in Tripolis and killed Ruggeri in Monthlerey.
