The car is 4CS chassis no 1126. It was the actual winner of the 1100cc class in the 1935 and 1936 Mille Miglia races, was entered in the 1937 race, but retired with a broken engine. The new body was fitted by Lurani for an entry in the 1938 Portuguese Grand Prix, but Lurani crashed his 4CM at Crystal Palace two weeks before and broke his hip, so the car was not raced by Scuderia Ambrosiana again, but was sold to a Chinese businessman in Singapore in 1939. The Japanese army confiscated the car, but it was rescued from them and buried for the rest of the war. I bought its mortal remains in 1969 and rebuilt it to its 1938 specification. It is now owned by my son.Maseratinut
