Image by Mike Maez<\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Its exceptional engineering and impeccable attention to detail incorporated the very best characteristics of the Maserati marque. The A6G\/54 has a few features that were inspired\u00a0by the A6GCS like the robust tube-frame chassis, race-proven steering, braking, and suspension components. Under the hood sits the all-aluminum twin-cam six-cylinder engine that was developed by\u00a0Gioacchino\u00a0Colombo for competition purposes. Equipped with three Weber side-draft carburetors and an optional twin-plug cylinder head, the Maserati A6G\/54 Spiders was considered to be\u00a0the best performing two-liter cars of its time.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to Dr. Adolfo\u00a0Orsi, a marque historian, there were only nine A6G\/54s that were fitted with the\u00a0Frua\u2019s\u00a0Spider coachwork.\u00a0This example, chassis 2180, was the first A6G\/54\u00a0Frua\u00a0Spider that\u00a0was built; hence it was the prototype of the exclusive series. It was said to be constructed by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pietro_Frua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frua<\/a>\u00a0between May and August of\u00a01956.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This example has a few features making it distinctively different from the subsequent examples released. In particular, the aluminum dashboard was painted entirely in the body color instead of being upholstered and it also has a decorative trim on the instrument panel.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It was delivered new to Maserati agents based in Paris, although the A6G\/54 moved to America not long thereafter, where it has been owned by marque enthusiasts its whole life. The 2180 was completely restored\u00a0to is original glory, with the careful watch and supervision of Dr. Adolfo\u00a0Orsi, Jr, and under the expert hands of\u00a0Carrozzeria\u00a0AutoSport. The comprehensive restoration that was done on the\u00a0Frua\u00a0coachwork was meticulously done by repairing the original body, flawlessly\u00a0putting together the newly fabricated panels with the faithfully preserved sections of the original aluminum.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>After almost five years of continuous work, 2180 was finally completed in April 2008 and it was then issued a FIVA passport where it made its debut at the prestigious\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/concorso-deleganza-villa-deste-2011-behind-the-scenes\/\">Concorso\u00a0d\u2019Eleganza\u00a0Villa\u00a0d\u2019Este<\/a>.
