From 1953 to 1958 Giuseppe Candini was with Maserati's race support team where he worked with many top racing drivers including the five times World Champion Juan Manuel Fangio Seen here during a visit to the Candini workshop.


	Giuseppe, Fangio and his brother discuss the complex gearing of the sixteen cylinder V4 engine.


A rare opportunity to view the complex gearing of the 16-cyl 4-litre V4 engine. As early as 1929 this incredible engine produced 305 bhp @ 5500 rpm.
