O.S.C.A. (Officine Specializzate Costruzione Automobili—Fratelli Maserati S.p.A.) was an Italian manufacturer of racing and sports cars established 1947 in San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna, by the Maserati brothers, and closed down in 1967.

Of the 200 or so cars produced by OSCA, perhaps 80 were MT4 models, and of the MT4 models, records show 40 Spiders had Morelli of Ferrara bodies. All five OSCA FS 372 Spiders (an updated version of the MT4) were also bodied by Morelli.

This rare example had been in a private collection for many years and required a major overhaul. A full mechanical recommission was carried out including fully preparing the car for the Mille Miglia, one of the world’s most gruelling race rallies, which it successfully completed in 2021. As well as mechanically preparing the car, we fully supported it on the rally and have carried out post event checks.
