1931-1936 Maserati 4CS 1100. Tipo 4CS 1100 appeared as a car to be used in both racing and sports events and had a new 1088cc engine with output of 90-115hp @ 5300-5600rpm. The car made its debut in 1931 in Monza as 4C, but soon rebadged to 4CTR - 'testa riporta' (removable cylinder head). Later appeared 4CM as a racing version and 4CS 1100 to become a sports variant. A very successful racer, Tipo 4CS 1100 won Mille Miglia four times in its class - in 1932 (4CTR 1100, driven by Giuseppe Tuffanelli and Guerino Bertocchi), 1934 (4CS 1100 - Piero Taruffi and Guerino Bertocchi), 1935 (4CS 1100, Ettore Bianco - Guerino Bertocchi) and 1936 (4CS 1100, Ettore Bianco - M.Boccali). In 1932 Brianza Bodyworks built a beautiful yellow spyder presented at that year Mialn Auto Show (what puzzles me is that the original and the modern pics stating seemingly the same car look completely different . Or are they just two different cars?). In common, 6 cars in sports version were produced.

1. Maserati 4CTR 1100. I suppose it could be a picture of Tuffanelli-Bertocchi at 1932 Mille Miglia.
2. 4CTR 1100 running a 1933 edition of Mille Miglia in the hands of Domenico Tabanelli and C.Borgnino.
3. 1933 Maserati 4CS 1100.
4. 'Original' pic of 1932 Brianza Spyder...
5. ...and the modern shot of Brianza.
