It’s difficult not to make a fetish out of mid-fifties racing car design. I mean, just look at the carnally gorgeous lines and the immaculate finish of this 1957 Maserati 250 S.<\/p>\n

With clear reference to Jaguar D-type<\/a>‘s all-conquering design: this Maserati has been immaculately restored to better than original, ready for auction at RM this September.<\/p>\n

Classically beautiful undulations….<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Apparently just a handful of these cars were made for customers in the mid fifties – including US racing hero Carroll Shelby<\/a>. The 250 S was a more powerful version of the road going 200S – and featured an inline six-cylinder engine that could produce 250 Horsepower and a top speed for the car of around 160 MPH.<\/p>\n

Pricing and reserve etc hasn’t been released yet – but think Central London mansion house prices. Perchance to dream.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
