A classic mid-century Maserati has been restored to perfection for a
showing at the RM Auctions London exhibition this September. This 1957 Maserati 250S
is one of just a few ever constructed, a vehicle that represented the
best of the 200S series that was popularized on the amateur racing
circuit. Unlike the smaller 200S, the 1957 Maserati 250S was powered by
a hefty 230 horsepower inline 6 engine that raced to 161 mph against professional-class competition. The 1957 Maserati 250S was produced for a handful of racing pioneers
from the middle of the last century. Several were built for Jim Hall
and Carroll Shelby, the latter of which is one of the most recognized
names in American motorsport history. This was a remarkable vehicle for
its time, and this version has been restored to that original esteem. This 1957 Maserati 250S will go under the gavel on September 8th at
the RM Auctions London show. Reserve and estimated bidding pricing has
not yet been released.
