Aymo Maggi

Dear Faksta, I was impressed by your competence on Mille Miglia. As I am nephiew of Aymo Maggi (my mother, Eleonora Maggi, is daughter of his brother) I would be really interested in a photograph of my uncle driving the Maserati 26B at the Mille Miglia '28, have you any idea of where it is possible to find it?
Many thanks in advance for your kind reply and ciao from Brescia,
Luca Salvi

Somehow only one of the four cars entered 1928 Mille Miglia. Driven by Ettore Maserati and Aymo Maggi it didn't finish. Next year saw the similar situation - the only started Maserati (Ettore Maserati - Baconin Borzacchini) didn't see the finish (moreover, some sources say that the modified #37 car was not a 26B MM, but a 26R 30, though 26R was a Grand Prix car, like 26 and 26B, and thus couldn't meet Mille Miglia regulations ).

1-2. Maserati Tipo 26B MM at 1929 Mille Miglia driven by Ettore Maserati and Baconin Borzacchini.
