Some cars leave a paper trail; the Maserati type 300 S two-seater sport left a name, a year — 1956 — and a place in Maserati's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
Its place in the line
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Bologna. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Nissan Skyline, the Fiat 500, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class — show what else the money bought that year. Nearby in the Maserati catalogue sit the Maserati 150S and the Maserati 200S.
What it costs now
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Maserati type 300 S two-seater sport has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
