1957 Maserati 200SI
- Engine
- 2.5L inline-four twin-cam dual-ignition, cast-alloy block (upgraded from original 2.0L)

Chassis 2425 is a 1957 Maserati 200SI, approximately the 23rd of roughly 28 examples constructed, bodied by Medardo Fantuzzi in open spyder coachwork. Delivered originally to the US distributor, it carries documented period competition history spanning Sicilian road racing under Scuderia Centro Sud and SCCA club racing in the hands of notable privateers including Jim Hall and Robert Kuhn.
