They succeeded on that score then...!
It goes without saying that it isn't one, of course!

So are Giordanengo replicas.  But is that the answer?

At the risk of looking stupid........ I've found something called a Vertemati S450. Does that mean anything ?

Not to me it doesn't.  I'll have to look it up and see what that one looks like.
No guesses are stupid.. Keep them coming!

I think I found it Colonia Racing Cars from Uruguay.

I also found what a Vertemati S450 looks like.

Now yes I found it  ASA 450 S made by Nestor Salerno in Argentina in 1985.

Yes!
I did do a search for a Vertemati 450S and got a picture of what appeared to be a Maserati 450S replica called a Vertemati S 450 E Motard; the trouble is Googling for that also got a motorcycle with exactly the same name!

I think it is a motorcycle and it's unlikely they made a replica Maserati, but for some technical reason aking for a Vertemati S450 produces a picture of a real Maserati 450S described as a Vertemati S450!  I have no idea why.

But it is the one and only Maserati 450S replica by Nestor Salerno's ASA company.  I thought you would get this one, but sooner!

Well done.

So it would seem.
I didn't search for 'ASA' but for Nestor Salerno.   Written like that his name doesn't appear anywhere (only "Nestor Salerno's") hence it didn't show up.  This shows just how accurate you have to be with your words to coincide with what appears in order to find earlier posts.
