Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1956 Maserati A6G-2000 Coupe, with coachwork by Carrozzeria Allemano, boasts a 2-litre 6-cylinder engine and a race-bred chassis. Originally finished in grey and delivered to Rome in May 1956, this particular car – chassis '2126' – was the tenth of these cars to be bodied by Allemano in their attractive Coupe style. The car was later converted from left-hand drive to right-hand drive, but the original steering components are still with the car.
Condition
6
The car is described as 'highly original' but has been converted from left-hand drive to right-hand drive. It is in running order, but the vendor recommends a brake inspection before driving in earnest. There is no mention of any significant cosmetic or mechanical issues, but some level of refurbishment might be beneficial given its age and the fact that it has not been used lately.

Description
This early, rare and most attractive Maserati A6G-2000 Berlinetta with coachwork by Carrozzeria Allemano combines in one harmonious blend its beautiful yet purposeful body with the well-balanced A6G-2000 chassis and 2-litre 6-cylinder twin-overhead camshaft engine.
This elegant haute couture bodywork is worn by a typically Maserati race-bred chassis frame, and powered by the Modenese company's much-admired 2-litre 6-cylinder twin-overhead camshaft engine,in this case featuring twin-plug ignition and breathing through three single-choke Weber carburettors which in contrast to a twin-choke Weber set-up provides usefully enhanced torque at lower revs.
Through the latter part of 1953 Maserati's design engineers – Gioachino Colombo and Giorgio Bellentani – developed not only the sports-racing A6GCS models and the Formula 2 World Championship-contesting A6GCM/53 single-seaters, but also worked hard upon a more mildly-tuned 6-cylinder design for production car sale.
