The A6 series, which owed its name to Maserati brother Alfieri and the model’s inline-six powerplant developed by Gioacchino Colombo of Ferrari V-12 fame, was the marque’s first post-war sports car offering. Although production started in 1947, it took until the 1954 Paris Auto Show for the ultimate iteration to arrive in the form of the A6G/54. Only 60 examples were built; just a third of those received the glamorous Allemano grand tourer body style. Among those rarified 21 cars, chassis number 2170 offered here was built in September 1956 around a 2.55-metre wheelbase. Per the accompanying copy of the factory build sheets, the 2.0-litre powerplant—its type used by Maserati in Formula 2 and World Sportscar Championship racers—was further enhanced courtesy of being originally fitted with a trio of Weber 40 DC03 carburettors. Meanwhile, the Allemano coachwork wore Grigio paint and was complemented by a Bleu leather interior. Two months later, in November, the Maserati had been imported into the United States ready for its first owner, Mr Edwards Jahns of Los Angeles in California. The following year, the car was road tested in San Franciso for an issue of Motor Trend magazine. Come 1988, the 2000 GT Coupé resided with marque aficionado Mr Francis Mandarano of Seattle in Washington State. Reportedly, around this time, the founding member of Maserati Club International and Concorso Italiano commissioned a restoration, with chassis 2170 refinished in its factory colour combination of Grigio over Bleu, as it presents today. The car made the return journey across the Atlantic the following year, ahead of a nine-year spell with a new custodian. The globetrotting continued thereafter, with the Maserati next sold at auction in 1997 to Mr John Cruikshank, who was based in Tamworth of New South Wales. While in Australia, the car was issued with a FIVA Identity Card in December 2009. Purchased by the most recent private owner in June 2007, the A6G/54 completed the Mille Miglia in 2010 and was registered for use on the road in the United Kingdom from April 2021. Following a period in dry storage, the car heads to The Woodcote Park Auction in running condition courtesy of recommissioning by Norfolk-based Maserati specialist Steve Hart Restoration & Race Preparation. The work, carried out in August 2025, totalled £3,392 to cover a new battery further to reconditioning of the brakes. Seldom seen and possessing a sporting edge, the Maserati A6G/54 is among the most desirable of 1950s Italian automotive creations. This example, bodied by Allemano and featuring its matching-numbers engine, is sure to appeal to connoisseurs.
