This car has got a Maserati logo on the side and was developed for the 24hrs of Le Mans in 1968...

Not entirely wrong, no!
The car is of course a Maserati as you have shown, and it did indeed race at Le Mans (driven by a very well-known driver) but not in 1968 according to my info.

So, which Tipo, who originally built it and when?

Locked for PJ!

This is what the car looks like today:

Thank you Otto, and thank you Carnut for your patience, I was away from my books.
This car is a Maserati Tipo 65P and, according to some sources, this was later rebodied by Drogo.

Absolutely, PJ, that's the car!
According to my info it was originally built in 1965 for entry into the Le Mans 24 hours, where it was driven by Jo Siffert.

No problem Iluvatar - you'll soon learn the ropes!
