Chassis: 2110
Originally fitted with the milder A6G top half, chassis 2110 was the third and last A6GCS chassis delivered to Pietra Frua. Although it arrived at Frua early in 1955, it was not completed until the fall of 1956. It was finished in creme-white with black stripe down the middle. An owner was not found until the late 1950s when it was shipped to the United States. At the time it was probably refinished in black with a creme-white stripe.

Since first arriving in North America, it only changed hands very few times. During the mid-1990s chassis 2110 was involved in a heavy road accident. The Frua Spider was subsequently restored and sold to noted Maserati collector John F. Bookout in 2002. At one point the car also received a full competition spec head. Recently a cosmetic restoration under supervision of Maserati authority Adolfo Orsi was executed in the United States. The work was completed just in time for the 2010 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este where. The spectacular result was deservedly awarded with the Coppa d'Oro.
