Maserati replica
Anyone ever see or drive one of these? Supposedly was built in England. Has a 1.6L Audi engine. It is a copy of the 1956 Maserati Race Car Replica. A6QCS. JVA Monofaro. Looks like it would be great fun!

looks pre war to me not 1956 more like 1936
this is a 1956 Maserati 1956 Maserati A6G/2000 Spyder by Frua | Monterey 2013 | RM Sotheby's or a post war rerun of a pre-war car seen here in 1947 https://stevemckelvie.wordpress.com/2013/06/11/maserati-a6gcs-a-very-nice-sports-racing-car/ more a6 pictures https://www.google.com/search?q=Maserati+++A6&biw=1280&bih=610&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjDpPH3yffLAhXIWCYKHWPyC2wQsAQIMw#imgrc= MALoujSPphVLIM%3A Last edited by nota; 04-05-2016 at 05:36 AM.. |

Actually that does look rather like a Maserati Grand prix car.
Fangio won a championship with a similar looking car. Best Les

Sorry,
The car Fangio drove in '53 was this one.  The car pictured above is perhaps modeled after the two seat cars with either full fenders or cycle fenders which were allowed to race to fill in the fields. Best Les

There were a handful of A6CGSes with open-wheel, cycle-fender bodies. Here is one of them:

Whoever built this, nice as it may look, had no soul. An Audi engine, really? Should have used an Alfa engine.

A closer fit would have been a Fiat twincam engine as it has lineage via OSCA

the A6 was a strait 6 Maserati L6's are rare but the v6 from a bi-turbo at least has the right name on it and few would cry to see a bi-turbo cut up trying hard to think of another lite L6 with good power in a 1.5 to 2.0 the only ones that come to mind are jap in a toyota or skyline |
