This 1957 Maserati 200SI is one of 28 examples of the Sport Internazionale variant built during a single year of production and was designated for delivery to Maserati of America in July 1957 but is believed to have instead been retained as a factory works car. Chassis 2425 was driven to a class victory at the Giro di Sicilia in Italy and an overall victory at the Grand Prix Cadours in France before being shipped to North America. Under the ownership of Dick Hall’s Carroll Shelby Sport Cars, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, the car was driven by Jim Hall in SCCA events through the remainder of 1957, with results including three second-in-class finishes at Hourglass and Palm Springs. It was then driven by privateer Bob Kuhn at Watkins Glen and Lime Rock in 1958 before later being sold to U.S. Navy veteran and Clean Air Act co-author Otto Klein, who piloted it in several SCCA contests between 1962 and 1964 with a Chevrolet engine fitted toward the end of that three-year campaign. The car was later sold by Klein to its next owner, who is said to have commissioned a mechanical refresh that included a displacement increase of the twin-cam inline-four to 2.5 liters. Under subsequent ownership, it participated twice in the Mille Miglia Storico in the 1980s before being sold to a London collector who commissioned a refurbishment. It was then purchased by a German owner who had a reproduction 2.5-liter engine installed before campaigning the car at historic events at Vallelunga, Spa, and Nürburgring. The car was purchased in 2007 by me, brought it to the US and commissioned further mechanical refurbishment work before it made several Monterey Historics appearances over the ensuing years. In 2024, the car participated in the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and was later reissued an FIA Historical Technical Passport. Featuring Fantuzzi-built aluminum spyder bodywork finished in red, the car is powered by a reproduction 2.5-liter DOHC inline-four that features an aluminum block and cylinder head, dry-sump lubrication, twin-plug ignition, and twin Weber DCO3 carburetors. Additional features include a four-speed manual transmission, finned aluminum drum brakes, independent front suspension, a De Dion rear axle, 16” Borrani wire wheels, riveted aluminum fuel and oil tanks, a passenger-side tonneau panel, and bucket seats upholstered in red leather. A collection of parts accompanying the car includes its removed Tipo 4CF2 inline-four wearing a stamp of chassis number 2425, a transmission, and a differential.
