Maserati 250f in Focus

Competing throughout the 2500cc Grand Prix Formula years of 1954-60, the Maserati 250F is one of the most famous and iconic racing cars ever built. Maserati 250F In Focus is one of the most detailed accounts ever written about a single model, and this superbly illustrated book features photographs by Tom March, one of the 1950s leading motor racing photographers, along with historic engine cutaways, chassis drawings, and technical descriptions of the 250F’s evolution and development.

Anthony Pritchard’s lively and informative text includes reminiscences from some of the leading drivers of the day, including Sir Stirling Moss, Juan Fangio, and Mike Hawthorn – drivers who raced these historic machines during the halycon days when Maserati battled with Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, and Vanwall for Grand Prix supremacy.

From the 1954 Argentine Grand Prix, to the 1960 US Grand Prix, a record of the chassis and race numbers of every 250F to have competed during this period is presented, along with detailed race histories and results, completing this most comprehensive and authoritative of books on Maserati’s racing legend.

It’s 48 years since Anthony Pritchard qualified as a solicitor, and 47 years since his first book was published (Formula One, George Allen & Unwin). Anthony has been a motor racing enthusiast since his school days, and he is recognized as an authority on matters Maserati and Ferrari. He is a regular visitor to Modena, home of the two great Italian marques, and his book Maserati, a history, published in 1976, is still regarded as the standard history on the marque.
