Dalton Watson Fine Books The Maserati A6g 2000: Pininfarina, Frua, Vignale, and Allemano
Based on the first Maserati GT, the A6-1500, the Modena-based company offered its customers the second series, the A6G 2000, from 1951. After the more competitive version with the lightweight Zagato body, wealthy customers could choose between four design versions: the bulky design by Pininfarina, the muscular one from Allemano, the glamorous Coupès and Spyder versions by Frua and the eccentric Coupé by Vignale. All vehicles were slightly different and were among the rarest and most expensive cars of their time. The A6G 2000 was a landmark in Maserati history. This book describes for the first time the technical development of this type as well as the individual history of all cars in these four versions, chassis by chassis.

Dalton Watson Fine Books Maserati 300S plus the Factory Team Cars
This much-updated second edition of the Maserati 300S by Walter Bäumer, includes many corrections and additions to the original text that have been uncovered in the last ten years. Almost all the photographs are new and previously unpublished, making the book an exciting addition to any Maserati library. The first edition was published in 2008. The Maserati 300S was one of the most successful race cars of the 1950s and among the most beautiful ever built. It was the main opponent of the Ferraris in the World Sportscar Championships of 1956 and 1957. Described by Sir Stirling Moss as one of the best race cars he had ever driven and loved by every racing driver due to its balanced handling qualities, the 300S wrote motor sports history. Glory and disaster ran side by side adding mystique to the legend. Despite the often confusing and inaccurate records that make it difficult to establish the exact fate of each car, the history of each of the twenty-five cars built by Officine Maserati S.p.A. in Modena is listed chassis-by-chassis and profusely illustrated with many period photographs. A bonus volume of additional photographs of the four factory cars completes the package.

Dalton Watson Fine Books Maserati A6GCS
The history of the A6GCS gives a very good insight into a time in Italian motorsport which was mainly contested by wealthy amateurs. Maserati built remarkable racing cars in the 1950s that are highly valued by drivers in historic racing today. The darling among these cars is the A6GCS. Small, agile, and relatively easy to drive, it was THE car in the 2-liter class for the numerous amateur racing drivers in countless hill climbs, on the circuits, and in the legendary Mille Miglia. In race-crazy Italy, the car was always the focus of the spectators, tens of thousands of whom stood on the streets to watch these small red racers pass by. The names of many of the drivers have been forgotten today, but the vast majority of the A6GCS are still here and are used in numerous historic racing events. This book pays tribute to perhaps the most romantic Maserati racing car of all time.
