The Original

Road racing was very popular in 1950s Italy,with the Mille Miglia as the annual highlight. Many of the major Italian manufacturers provided race-bred sportscars for their rich customers to campaign in the 1000 mile event.Most of these racers were roadsters but after the rain-soaked 1952 edition of the race, the demand for fixed-heads increased.Some of Maserati's customers expressed interest in a Pinin Farina designed berlinetta body for their A6 GCS/53.There was no way that Maserati could directly commision Pinin Farina to fit the chassis with bodies, as the Turin based company had just closed a co-production deal with Enzo Ferrari.Long time Rome based Maserati dealer Giuglielmo 'Mimmo' Dei was supplied with 6 bare A6 GCS/53 chassis.He commisioned Pinin Farina to fit them with elegant berlinetta bodies.Eventually four of the six chassis were fitted with Pinin Farina designed bodywork.All of which survive in one form or another to day.Today all four original chassis remain (s/n 2056,2057,2059 and 2060),with 2089 being a fifth semi-original Pinin Farina Berlinetta.Passionate Maserati enthusiast Franco Lombardi commisioned Giordemengo to rebuilt a body for his original 2057. After the 20 years restoration project Giordemengo started work on replicas, of which two have been completed.Due to close cooperation of Ferrari and Pinin Farina, these four were the last Maseratis to be bodied by Pinin Farina.The A6 GCS/53 Pinin Farina Berlinetta remains as one of the best looking GTs ever and arguably the best looking Maserati ever
