Maserati's first road cars — built after the brothers' departure under Orsi ownership; A6 1500, A6G 2000 and A6G/54.
Maserati's first road cars, built after the brothers' departure under Orsi ownership, named for Alfieri Maserati and the six-cylinder engine.
The A6GCS sports-racers are the competition siblings to the A6 family.
The founding Maserati road-car line and the origin of the marque's postwar coachbuilt tradition. Chassis authentication, coachbuilder identification and documented provenance are the defining factors.
| Variant | Years | Production | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A6 1500 | 1947–1950 | 61 | 1,489cc SOHC six, 65 hp; ~61 built; Pinin Farina coachwork predominates. Family total approximately 200 across all series; per-series figures per marque references, all hand-built at roughly a dozen cars a year — treat all counts as approximate. |
| A6G 2000 | 1950–1951 | 16 | 1,954cc; ~16 built. Family total approximately 200 across all series; per-series figures per marque references, all hand-built at roughly a dozen cars a year — treat all counts as approximate. |
| A6G/54 | 1954–1957 | Not separately recorded | 1,986cc DOHC derived from the A6GCS racing engine, 150–160 hp with twin-plug option; ~60 built; bodies by Frua, Zagato and Allemano — the Zagato berlinettas the most celebrated. Family total approximately 200 across all series; per-series figures per marque references, all hand-built at roughly a dozen cars a year — treat all counts as approximate. |
Authenticate stamped chassis, engine and body numbers against Maserati Classiche records in Modena. For the A6 family specifically, verify the exact series (A6 1500 / A6G 2000 / A6G/54), coachbuilder and chassis identity against Maserati Classiche records; treat all production counts as approximate on a family of hand-built cars.
Confirm body originality, coachbuilder identity (where applicable) and restoration standard against a Maserati marque specialist.
Confirm continuous service history and any rebuild history for the engine, gearbox and driveline against a marque specialist.
Restoration standard, originality of body and driveline, and any documented ownership record are the main value drivers.
