This Barchetta, built by Reklus in Buenos Aires was designed in the true spirit of the legendary Maserati 300S. 
The high quality standard and accuracy of sheet metal work has even led to commissions for Reklus on coachwork restorations for other classic cars. 

The car was built using old A.S.A./AFF papers, and on the occasion of the Techno-Classica in Essen 2009 the Barchetta was handed over to the first Swiss owner. 

The car was then imported and registered in Switzerland. The tubular frame and wire wheels are very evocative reminders of traditional fifties race car construction. 

The car is powered by a in-line six fed by three Weber DCOE-carbs. It delivers around 170 hp, enough to provide rapid progress to a car weighing a mere 980kg. In 2015, the cylinder head was overhauled. This Maserati replica is in very good condition overall and has had only two Swiss owners. 

Being road registered and MOT’d in 2015, (incl. Veteran status!), the Barchetta offers the added benefit of driving to and from events, truly a racer for the road!
