The latest in the Exceptional Cars series tells the story of one \nof the two cars bought by The Automovil Club Argentino (ACA). Painted in \nthe bright blue and yellow Argentine racing colours, 1600 was to play an \nimportant role in the Argentine team's international expeditions to \nEurope. Fangio won two races in the car, the most important being at Pau \nin 1950, where he repeated his win in the ACA sister car a year earlier. \nAs well as a detailed chronicle of the car’s highs and lows, the text \nincludes profiles of the drivers who raced in 1600 and a personal \naccount of driving and running the car by a former owner who describes \nthe daunting task of re-creating a Maserati 4CLT engine from scratch. \nAuthor Cristián Bertschi is a specialist in tracking the history of cars \nof this era and describes 1600’s exploits race-by-race, including a \nperiod after it ceased to be competitive in Grand Prix racing and was \nfitted with a Ford V8 engine for local events in Argentina. 4CLT 1600’s \nsubsequent history reads like a detective story: how it was \nre-discovered, put back to its original specification, restored and \nrebuilt, and went on a journey from Argentina to the United States and \nJapan before settling back in Europe, where it is now an established \ncompetitor in historic racing. As well as a detailed chronicle of the \ncar’s highs and lows, the text includes profiles of the men who raced in \n1600 and a personal account of driving and running it by a former owner \nwho describes the daunting task of re-creating a Maserati 4CLT engine \nfrom scratch.","brand":"Porter Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31917563150407,"sku":"B09280","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/9813\/3831\/files\/b09280.jpg?v=1772265963","url":"https:\/\/www.midlifeclassiccars.com\/ar\/products\/maserati-4clt-the-remarkable-history-of-chassis-no-1600-exceptional-cars","provider":"MidlifeClassicCars.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
