1/12 Scale - PRE-ORDER
This item is a Pre-Order of MiniChamps #120601205. It is expected to arrive by 8/1/2010 but MiniChamps is notorious for delayed deliveries.

If the car is not delivered within 30 days of payment, a refund will be given immediately upon request.
This is a beautifully crafted 1/12 scale, BRAND NEW, NEVER OPENED replica by Minichamps of the 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 as driven to victory at 1000 km Nurburgring by Gurney and Moss. (2 of the detail photos are of the companion Shelby Times GP winning #98) A charmingly graceful body designed by the mastermind Giulio Alfieri integrated a light frame of barely 30 kg with more than 200 single pieces of tube. Because of this engineering innovation, the Maserati Tipo 60/61 acquired the legendary nickname “Birdcage”. Only 23 units were made during the years from 1959 through 1961.
The Maserati Tipo 61, commonly referred to as the "Birdcage“, can be considered as one of the best known racing cars of the early 1960s. The race car was produced between 1959 and 1961 by Maserati to compete in endurance races as well as hill climbs. It became famous for its intricate tubular space frame chassis, consisting of about 200 steel tubes welded together, hence the nickname "Birdcage“. This method of construction provided a more rigid and lighter chassis equally. None of the other race cars had such a design at that time. By recessing the windscreen base into the bodywork, Maserati was able to reduce the impact of the new Le Mans rules demanding a tall windscreen. The Tipo 61 featured a 2.9 liter 4-cylinder engine with an output of 250 hp. The engine, was mounted in the front and had a 45° angle. A weight of only 1323 lb allowed the race car to reach a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph). Despite being faster than the competitors, the "Birdcage“ proved to be unreliable and often retired from races due to gearbox problems. Some of the many features include a very accurate motor, tubular chassis, opening doors, authentic graphics, wire wheels and more. This one will rival the competition's version at half the price. The photos are of a display model. The detail photos are of the similar red Shelby Times GP winner that is also in stock. The car that you receive will be Brand New in Unopened box.
