Maserati A6G: the first Maserati touring cars and what the collector needs to know
Maserati A6G (A6G 2000 and A6G/54) — Maserati touring cars from the 1960s with a 2.0-litre six-cylinder engine. These are extremely rare collector's items, often hand-built to individual orders.
A6G in brief
The A6G was Maserati's first luxury touring cars, with bodies crafted by renowned Italian coachbuilders — Pinin Farina, Frua, Allemano, Zagato and others. As a result, surviving cars differ from one another and each is considered almost unique.
Very few were made — a few dozen examples, so this is the realm of classic car collectors, not the usual used-car market.
What sets them apart
Each A6G differs depending on the coachbuilder: from the elegant Pinin Farina coupés to the sporty Zagato versions. All feature a two-seater or 2+2 interior and classic Italian luxury feel.
Due to the variety of bodies, the value of A6G cars varies greatly, so collectors should know the body maker and the car's history.
Engine and gearbox
The A6G used a roughly 2.0-litre six-cylinder engine, designed by Maserati, with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The later A6G/54 version had an improved engine with two distributor drives.
Exact power figures depend on the version, so when buying, rely on the specific car's documents and expert appraisals.
What to check when buying
Authenticity is key: check if the original engine, chassis, vehicle identification numbers and documents are still present. These cars require an independent expert and a reliable provenance certification.
Inspect the body for corrosion and repairs, the engine condition and service history. Repairs and parts are extremely expensive, and specialists are few and far between.
Trim levels
The A6G is a very rare, hand-built model; trim levels vary depending on the body manufacturer.
