OSCA – the acronym stands for Officine Specializzate Construzione Automobili – was founded in 1947 by the three Maserati brothers after they were cashiered from the eponymous automaker they’d founded before World War II. Until now, there’s never been an authoritative, dedicated history of the exquisitely tiny performance cars that Ernesto, Ettore and Bindo designed and built for 20 years at their new firm. Now published in English for the first time, Inside OSCA is an anecdotal romp through the company’s history and its always-fascinating creations.

In the prestigious settings of Villa Erba, during the Villa d’Este Concours on May 24-25, Broad Arrow will offer this precious 1936 Maserati 4CM voiturette. This Formula 2 avant-la-lettre was raced by Count Trossi, Piero Taruffi and Pietro Dusio. Tazio Nuvolari won the Circuito di Modena in it, in 1937.

Race suits worn by Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher or Lewis Hamilton. Helmets from Mike Hailwood, Henri Pescarolo, Dario Franchitti. Or the front wing of Niki Lauda’s 1977 Ferrari 312 T2. It’s all available in a memorabilia auction hosted by Broad Arrow. Some proceeds go to Jackie Stewart’s ‘Race against Dementia’.
