RE: But, I never believed in caging birds!

The original Tipo 60 "Birdcage" Maserati was introduced in 1959 and used a 2 litre / 122 ci 4 cyl motor. It was designed to be a customer car, robust and easy to repair in the field. The Tipo 61 (next model) used a slightly larger versions of the same motor; 2.5 L and 2.9 L. These cars dominated US Sports Car racing in 59-60-61. By the early 60's Maserati, like Ferrari had changed to rear engined cars. The Tipo 63 was the 1st rear engined Birdcage and initially used the existing 4 cyl engines. A later version used a 2.5 L 12 Cyl engine derived from the motor used in the 250F Grand Prix car from 1957. Later versions also used a derrivative of the 4.5 L V-8 from the 450s and a larger 8 cyl motor derrived from the original Quatroporte sedan.

Beautiful cars that in their day were among the best racing cars in the world.

Best,

Ross
