Maserati Tipo 26 (1926-1932) The first Maserati of them all originated from a Grand Prix car that Alfieri Maserati had designed for Diatto: when the Milan car maker stopped trading
in 1925, Alfieri took his design to the Bologna workshop that he had set up with his brothers in 1914. At its debut race in the April 1926 Targa Florio
the Maserati Tipo 26, with Alfieri Maserati driving and a young Guerrino Bertocchi as riding mechanic, finished 1st in the 1.5-litre class and 9th overall,
behind an armada of Bugattis. Alfieri won his class again in the March 1927 Tripoli Grand Prix in North Africa.
