Publication: London, Macmillan London Limited, 1975

Formatting: Small 4to, pp. 80.

Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains firm, tight, and completely square, with the boards exhibiting only negligible shelf-wear to the extremities. Internally, the text block is exceptionally clean, bright, and entirely free from foxing or age-toning, presenting an excellent reading experience. The dust jacket is similarly well-preserved; it retains its vibrant colour photographic panels but exhibits some light rubbing to the edges and minor handling wear commensurate with its age. An overall highly presentable, complete copy.

Catalogue Note: This first edition is the second volume in the Donington Monomarques series, providing a dedicated technical and historical appraisal of one of the era's most celebrated racing vehicles.

The volume is profusely illustrated with a combination of period black-and-white action shots and vivid colour photographs, detailing both the external aesthetics and internal mechanics of the car.

Although widely available on the secondary market today, well-preserved copies retaining clean, bright dust jackets remain desirable to motorsport historians and marque enthusiasts.

Denis Jenkinson's authoritative work traces the complete history of the iconic Maserati 250F, a machine that dominated the Grand Prix circuits of the 1950s. Drawing on his firsthand experience as a leading motorsport journalist, Jenkinson chronicles the car's evolution, its glorious victories, and the legendary drivers, including Fangio, Moss, and Hawthorn, who piloted it into motorsport history. With a foreword by Stirling Moss, this meticulously researched volume remains an essential visual and technical reference for racing enthusiasts.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
