I have that (?) magazine, too. I remembered that it was in a very old issue. And then something absolutely improbable happened: it was in the first magazine I looked into.  :o

Just to add some additional information -

Chassis #3016 was possibly built up from the first #3007 crashed by Nuvolari with the remains being sold to Minozzi and/or Soffietti.
Then modified/rebodied by Mulliner in 1935.
Owners were possibly Whitney Straight, Minozzi/Soffietti, Madame Braillard and later Lippai Fanos of Hungary.

The information may not be 100% correct but is worth adding if anyone discusses it further.

Janos Lippai owned Maserati #3015, not #3016.
See the book which is titled Maserati3015 (links are not allowed here)
