This stunning 1957 Maserati 200SI racer boasts flowing, handcrafted bodywork by Italian coachbuilder Carrozzeria Fantuzzi, and an impressive motorsport résumé. The latter includes the Mille Miglia Storica, the Monterey Historics, and a multitude of hard-fought Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) events in Southern California with the legendary Jim Hall at the wheel. It also competed in major road races early in its life, including the grueling 670-mile Giro di Sicilia.
Next month, this well-known example from the golden age of sports-car racing, is set to cross the block at the Pebble Beach Auctions presented by Gooding Christie’s. The two-day sale will be held August 14 and 15 as part of Northern California’s Monterey Car Week festivities.
“This is one of the great ‘50s sports race cars that has done it all, and is ready for a new owner to continue to race it, show it, and enjoy it, at any of the world’s top events,” David Brynan, senior car specialist at Gooding Christie’s, tells Robb Report.
The car on offer, chassis No. 2425, came out of Maserati’s Modena race shop during the final year of the model’s extremely limited production.
