Maserati 250F in Focus by Anthony Pritchard
The Maserati 250F raced against Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Vanwall for Grand Prix supremacy during the 2500cc Grand Prix Formula years of 54-60. Stories from leading drivers who raced the 250F, including Sir Stirling Moss, Juan Fangio, and Mike Hawthorn, along with Anthony Pritchards lively text, helps bring the racing story of this iconic model back to life.

Sadly, Anthony Pritchard passed away a few months before this book was published. Anthony was a motor racing enthusiast from his school days, and was recognised as a world authority on matters Maserati and Ferrari. He was 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.
