Maserati 450S: The fastest sports racing car of the 50s

Michel Bollee and William Oosthoek 978 2 9513642 57 £42.95

A complete racing history from 1956 to 1962 The first ever book written about the Maserati Tipo 54, better known as the 450S. The book focuses on the works cars as well as the privately-owned cars of Tony Parravano, Jim Kimberly, John Edgar, Temple Buell, Ebb Rose and J.Frank Harrison Jr. Portrait format hardback, it measures 240 mm x 320 mm, contains 208 pages with 270 photographs - colour whenever appropriate throughout the text but mostly black/white, since not too many colour shots were taken in those days. Coverage: every race in which one of the nine 450S Maserati chassis constructed has ever participated, from the 1957 WSCC to the North American racing scene [SCCA, USAC and Cal Club races for the U.S.; the Nassau Speed Week; the Cuban GP] between 1956 and 1962. Race reports have complete results with race numbers, engine sizes and classes for all entries. An abundance of never seen color and black/white photos, many from the private collections of the people involved in that era. Race histories by individual chassis number. Subsequent histories and post-competition owners. Interviews with former drivers, owners and mechanics. Also extensive coverage of the 420M monopostos at the Monza 500 [1957 and 1958] and Indianapolis 500 [1959 and 1965]. The Tipo 54 made 119 race appearances, scoring 31 victories. Apart from the well-known Maserati works drivers, the cars were raced/practiced by Bob Drake, Richie Ginther, Jack McAfee, Jim Kimberly, Carroll Shelby, Ebb Rose, Dan Clippenger, Walt Cline, Dan Gurney, Pete Woods, Dabney Collins, Maurice Trintignant, Harry Rollings, Jack Brumby, Billy Krause, John Haas, Eddie Crawford, Hal Ullrich, Jim Rathmann, Chuck Daigh, Lloyd Ruby, Chuck Kessinger, Jim Hall, Bill Kimberly, Wick Williams, Jim Jeffords and Fred Gamble. This book will be the defining work on the history of the fastest sportsracer of the Fifties. reviewed by
