Old Maserati Gearbox Identification - Need help

[elmercaderargentino]

Hi
I have a Maserati Gearbox that it was on my grandfather's garage, and I don´t have much information about that.

The only information my grandfather told me, is that it belongs to a Maserati sport, and it has 4 drives. (I think it has an oil connection to an oil radiator, but i m´not sure)


It has stamped on it the following details:

212
216EU
8/40


this is all information we have for the moment.

Could you help us identifying that?

Greeting from Argentina

José

some images just in case

If you contact Bill McGrath they will be able to identify it for you. It might be valuable if in full working order.

Bill McGrath has unfortunately passed away - ask to speak to Andy Heywood.

I think I've got it...

either a Tipo 4CM or an 8C-3000.

From the mid thirties...


hmm... not so sure now...

Ah, ok, I did not know that, was it recent?

I was referring to the company more that the individual.

The 8/40 refers to the gears ratio.. that's how the Italian's allways show the ratios ,ie it's 8 point 4 to one in top gear

I now reckon this could be from a 2000 Sport from between 1947 and 1955.
