The latest in the Exceptional Cars series tells the story of one of the
two cars bought by The Automovil Club Argentino (ACA). Painted in the
bright blue and yellow Argentine racing colours, 1600 was to play an
important role in the Argentine team's international expeditions to
Europe. Fangio won two races in the car, the most important being at Pau
in 1950, where he repeated his win in the ACA sister car a year earlier.
As well as a detailed chronicle of the car's highs and lows, the text
includes profiles of the drivers who raced in 1600 and a personal
account of driving and running the car by a former owner who describes
the daunting task of re-creating a Maserati 4CLT engine from scratch.
