According to the Maserati brothers, this is “the first car built in our workshops”, and it was also one of the first cars promised to Carlo Biscaretti di Ruffia, who in 1933 worked as “temporary authorizing officer” of the future Museum. It took three years to find it and restore it, but this car has quite a respectable resumé. Born with a Diatto numbering, it raced and won, was subject to several adjustments and had many different owners, but finally came back to Officine Maserati in the early 1930s. Indeed, the Maserati 26B is the progenitor of a long and noble stock.
