The MT4 Spider, built in 1947 - 55 in 40 units, is probably the most famous OSCA. The first OSCA MT4 (the abbreviation stands for Maserati Tipo 4) appeared in motor racing in 1948. Luigi Villoresi drove the car to victory at the Pescara Circuit and the Naples Grand Prix. The chassis 1138 shown here has the Morelli Spider bodywork and is therefore a Barchetta. Like many of these cars, chassis 1138 also has a turbulent history, but was rescued and restored to its original condition in Switzerland. Many pictures make this article a trouvaille.
It is not always the stories about well-known vehicles that bring us joy. This article proves once again that the history of an unknown vehicle can be just as exciting and will certainly make some people smile. Our vehicle report sheds light on the bizarre history of the Bisiluro Damolnar, a one-off from constructor Nardi.
The last real Maserati wasn't even called that. With the Osca 1600 GT, the brothers from Bologna wanted to build their own Porsche competitor for the road and the racetrack. In addition to a Mille Miglia-proven engine in four power levels, the little speedster could be ordered in a whole range of different styles. Depending on the coachbuilder, it was sporty and rounded, straightforward and elegant, wonderfully hideous or simply a shrunken Maserati in both senses of the word. In this article, we unravel the history of the first and last Osca for the road and show it in current and historical images.
