Fangio's most famous sports racer. The Maserati 300S, chassis number 3069, one of 26 examples built and one of only two long-nose Fantuzzi Spyder Factory Team cars


Both Fangio and Sir Stirling Moss noted their agreement that Maserati's 300S was the all-time greatest Sports Racer ever built.

Fangio raced 3069 in the following four races:
-1957 Grand Prix of Portugal 1st OA
-1957 Grand Prix Sao Paolo (Race 1) 1st OA
-1957 Grand Prix Sao Paolo (Race 2) 1st OA
-1957 Grand Prix Rio de Janeiro 1st OA

the 2nd owner was a flipper, the 3rd owner would continue racing it competitively until 1971, making it the most prolifically raced Maserati in the history of the company.

the last owner went on a worldwide quest to acquire a million dollar collection of spare 300S specific parts ever gathered in one place.

These spare parts include both an original complete engine and ultra-rare five-speed transaxle form a sister car. Both have no running time since being overhauled. An extra set of brakes and numerous other spares. They accompany this car to it's future owners

and it is for sale. (Not by me, I only get a newsletter now and then from Bill Noon, and when there is a cool car that he lists, that impresses me, I post about it)

So, if you're a zillionaire, and want to buy it, get ahold of  Bill Noon
