Made of stainless steel bolts and protected with steel wire (parts are not removable) 90 years Maserati: reason enough for CMC to concern ourselfes closer with that brand which is without a doupt one of the italian racing car manufacturers with the most venerable history. CMC decided to appreciate this birthday with a replication of the 250 F. After all this racing car is called the most beautiful Monoposto who ever hit the racetrack. Also was the year 1957 doubtless one of the distinguished and eventfulliest of the companies history. Back then at the 4th of August, more than 200.000 people spectated the start of the Grand Prix of the century at the Nürburgring. After a acrimonious fight with his both biggest rivals Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins, both driving the Ferrari 801 F1, Juan Manuel Fangio was able to celebrate with his lightweight constructed Maserati 250 F and only with a head start of 3.6 seconds one of his largest triumphs. Because with that terrific victory Fangio conquered his 5th world championship title and became a legend of racing car history, and so did the 250 F.
