Made in Italy
1954 OSCA MT4 "barchetta"
The 1954 OSCA MT4 stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the Maserati brothers, who in 1947 had founded the Officine Specializzate Costruzioni Automobili, or OSCA, which specialized in competition sports cars. Born in Bologna, this iconic sports racing car wasn't just a machine; its low weight and high power rendered it a symphony of speed and ferocious tenacity – one which would etch its legacy on the tracks of Italy and beyond.
The data that I have on this very car is that between 1954 - 1956 it participated in 8 races, and taking first place in half of those! The 1.5 liter, 4 cylinder, twin overhead cam engine produced 125hp. In 1984 it also participated in the Mille Miglia, but the source did not indicate how, or where it finished
