Equipment
RHD. Un numbered chassis powered by Tipo 151 Maserati 4.9 liter V8. Apparently built by Tommy Atkins for Roy Slavadori to drive after being raced with a 2.7 liter Climax four. Apparently won one race at Goodwood then passed on until it was acquired by Peter Kaus in 1980. Chassis number is the engine number, which is questioble itself since the Tipo 151 was a twin plug engine and this is a single plug V8 that would be found in a Qporte or Ghibli. Museum displayed for a quarter century. Peter Kaus Rosso et Bianco Collection.
Market commentary
The whole thing is a chain of mirrors and only by relying on oral history can the Atkins team Roy Salvadori link be supported. A cool construction, but the shaky history makes it hard to accept the premium price paid for it.
