A Maserati in the shop

[PEU]

A friend of mine purchased the machines of an old shop, old machines market here in Argentina is still very active, its being inpected/repaired for resale, today I saw basic movements, maybe it need some pieces replaced/redone.

What is nice abot this machine is that is was build in Italy by Maserati the super sportscar maker I guess around the fifties but I wont be surprised if it was made during WW2.

It also has a Maserati vise. The blue Maserati is enamel, very nice.

Do you guys know if this machine or the vise has collectors value?

Found some info: http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/alfieri06mmmmmmm.htm it appears a large lot of Maserati machines was ordered by then president Juan Domingo Peron (you probably know about Evita, his wife) and never paid for...

Everything has/gets a collectors interest after some time!
If you go look on the countryside, if you are lucky! you can find old Porche's and Lamborghini's.
Not sports cars, but tractors!
And these have collectors interest as well as International magazines!
The Italians were very entreprenurish to work themselves into the automobile business from the small machinery shops.
Your machines looks very industrial though, for the big industry.
Nice to show off in your workshop!

Now you just need a Lamborghini boiler to keep the shop warm in the winter. 😉

DO IT! And make it blue like the logo on the machine. That would be sweet.
