Chassis:
Chassis 3002 was the second of the two 8C 3000s constructed for the Maserati Works team. For the 1933 season, it was purchased by Sir Henry Birkin of Bentley Blower fame. He raced it to third place in the Tripoli Grand Prix, but due to a freak accident he burned his arm and picked up septicemia. Not much later the famed 'Bentley Boy' died in a British hospital with blood poisoning. His Maserati remained in Britain for decades to come, although changing hands many times. In the 1980s, it was bought by German collector Peter Kaus and permanently displayed in his Rosso Bianco museum. Early in 2006 he sold his entire collection and the rare Maserati racer is now part of the vast Louwman Collection where it is seen here.
