Maserati Bandini-Maserati 1500

Bandini Automobili was an Italian automobile manufacturer that operated in Forlì between 1946 and 1992. It was named after its founder, Ilario Bandini, who designed and built the cars and also raced them. The company produced about 75 cars, mostly small-displacement sports and racing models, of which around 40 were sold in the United States, where modified Bandini Siluros won SCCA class championships in the 1950s. Production ceased after Ilario Bandini's death in 1992, and the original workshop was converted into a museum the same year. The Bandini name was later revived when a descendant of the founder partnered with the design house GFG Style to present the electric Dora concept car in 2020.
