Exquisite Frua Bodied Maserati at The Pebble Beach Auctions

1957 Maserati A6G/54 SpiderOne of Only 10 Examples BuiltCoachwork by FruaEstimate Available Upon RequestChassis: 2191Engine: 2191

The A6G/54 is widely regarded as the most desirable Maserati grand touring car of the 1950s, with a brilliant race-bred chassis and exotic twin-cam six-cylinder engine.

Just 10 of these important Maseratis received coachwork by Pietro Frua, a master of the coachbuilder’s art, whose designs for the A6G/54 are characterized by their contrasting central stripe and exceptional attention to detail.

This Frua Spider, chassis 2191, was built in March 1957 and is one of only two originally finished in Ivory. Sold new through Charles Rezzaghi Motors in San Francisco, the Frua Spider remained on the West Coast until it was eventually discovered in the late 1980s by noted Maserati collector Frank Mandarano.

In the early 1990s, this car joined the famed Alfredo Brener collection of custom-bodied Maseratis and was restored under his ownership. A significant coachbuilt Maserati, this A6G/54 Frua Spider retains its original engine and will be an ideal entry into a wide variety of exclusive rallies and concours events.‏
