The Maserati 250F is one of the Maserati entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1954, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable. The shape is credited to Gioacchino Colombo / Valerio Colotti.
The background
The Maserati 250F was a racing car made by Maserati of Italy used in '2.5 litre' Formula One racing between January 1954 and November 1960. Twenty-six examples were made.
Where it sits
In the Maserati line-up the Maserati 250F has a clear place: it replaced the Maserati A6GCM; it handed the line to the Maserati 300S. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the Chevrolet Corvette. Its Maserati stablemates include the Maserati 150S and the Maserati 200S.
Owning one today
There is no federal ownership record for the Maserati 250F — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
