 Over Restored?

 I really don't think that there is anything wrong with extreme restorations, especially when they're done to compete in such events. I'm not big on the Frua Spider as I think it looks too muscular (more than an AC and miles more than a similar period Ferrari), but if it had've been nothing more than a well-cared for survivor car, I think it would probably never be noticed and never seen.

I think the colour choice was off though... surely there are better period palettes than such a common blue?

 the article says:
"....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."

All I can say is who was the half-wit who reversed the far superior and original colour scheme?

....and surely this devalues the restoration?

 A beautiful restoration, though I agree it probably was never quite this good when it originally left the coachworks. The A6G series has got to be my favorite of the classic Maseratis.

Cheers
 Lovely car

 Beautiful, but over-restored. All her historical marks are gone...
