Maserati
A6G/54 2000 Spyder Zagato (chassis 2101)

Why it matters

Chassis 2101 is the only A6G/54 that Zagato completed as a spyder, among 21 Zagato-bodied A6G/54 chassis, and was the first A6G/54 chassis Zagato bodied. Conceptcarz also calls it the first Maserati road car with the twin-plug, twin-cam engine.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Research by marque expert Walter Bäumer says chassis 2101 went to Zagato in early November 1954 and was completed two weeks later. It was shown at the 1955 Geneva Salon in lead grey with a large chrome trident grille, where Juan Perón offered to buy it and asked for changes: a standard Maserati badge in place of the trident, a hood scoop, straked fender vents, a new windshield and Cold Dark Blue paint. The order lapsed with Perón's fall from power.

The car stayed at the factory for several years, was shown at the 1958 Paris Salon by the French importer and sold to an American embassy staffer, who took delivery in April 1959. It later passed through other owners, and was restored in 2001-2003 to its 1958 configuration with the Perón modifications.

Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The car is recognised by its Zagato spyder body with the Perón-era modifications (Maserati-badge grille without fog lamps, hood scoop, straked fender vents, Blu Algisto Scuro paint) and a suede-trimmed interior with suede running to the door tops. Chassis and engine numbers are both 2101, and the car is documented by factory build records and in Walter Bäumer's book on the A6G 2000 Zagato.
