Chassis 2124 is a 1956 Maserati A6G/2000 with Zagato alloy berlinetta coachwork, one of only 20 such bodies built and among a small number currently in the United States. Dispatched to Zagato in late 1955 and completed in early 1956, it began life as a factory exhibition and demonstration car before being loaned for the 1956 Mille Miglia. Subsequent private ownership in France and Italy included active competition and several factory-conducted repairs, before a comprehensive, no-expense-spared restoration returned it to original factory specification in 2014.
