The organisers write:
“We are very pleased to announce the second car that will be joining the Car Stories line-up in 2020… the Maserati 250F.
The Maserati 250F that won the Goodwood Glover Trophy Race and came 1st in GP de Monico in 1956 is the second car to be featured on the Car Stories stage at The London Classic Car Show.
Driver, Sir Stirling Moss owned the Maserati 250F in 1954 and guided it to his first Formula 1 victory when he won the non-Championship International Gold Cup. As Sir Moss recalled, he chose to buy the 250F as it was the most beautiful handling F1 car on the market for its powerful dual plugs 2.5 litre straight 6 engine. Not long after his victory in 1954, he continued his Maserati success story by stealing 1st position at the Goodwood Glover Trophy Race.
It famously became a factory team car with 8 race starts in 1956 and 1957 using chassis number
s 2516, 2522 and 2523 3. In 1965, it took a different path as it began vintage racing in 1965 with Richard Bergel and Lord Clydesdale and later Hon. Patrick Lindsay, Early of Strathmore and Bobby Bell.
Current owner of the Maserati 250F is Graham Adelman who began vintage racing in 2007 and has competed in around 40 events. This car is definitely a super and special addition to the Car Stories line-up.”
