Sorry, I'm a little bit obsessed, with Pre-War Racing cars and specially with Maseratis. Unfortunatly there are only a few people in any Forum, who share this passion. My problem is, I'm living a little bit far away, so my only information is the net. When I think, that a few weeks ago was a great auction in London, with very important cars, like the Delage 15-8 S and no one did any report, with pictures, I feel very sad. Is only modern history important?
Thinking of the Maseratis, it blows my mind up, that you could transform a Grand Prix Car easy to a little streetracer and they did. These are for me real supercars. A used GP car, as daily driver, awesome.
There is little written about these cars, some are well known, but some, like DS 8198 and all Tipo 26s came to light in the last years. The oldest known Maserati is the Bonfanti Car. I read in the Enrico Page, that the V4 was recreated in England and the V5 in Italy, but with an original Engine. I think its great. But where came the others from? Do you know anything?
Chassis Numbers would be great. Anybody knows, which ID has Louwmans 8CM? How many still exists?
