Description

Fantastic Typo 61
Light, powerfull
New Rebuilt Engine
Car is absolutely perfect , road legal , rebuilt with originals parts, engine, gearbox, etc

Tipo 61 Chassis #2473 was constructed for well-known Californian vintage racer and collector Don Orosco, with Crosthwaite and Gardiner given Orosco’s own original Birdcage (chassis 2458) as a full-scale reference for the project.
The meticulously nut ands bolt rebuilt, with every detail faithfully reproduced, including the complex frame, engine and transaxle, reportedly took 12 years.
Every effort was made to get the details spot on, with the frame first Tig, then gas welded, to approximate the way the frame would have left the Maserati factory in period as closely as possible.
Master bodybuilder Rod Jolley then fashioned the new aluminium panels, which were hand-finished with a hammer and dolly in the traditional Maserati factory manner of the period.
Purchased by the current owner from Bruce Canepa’s facility in Scotts Valley, California in 2008, the car with its Maserati factory engine, number 2478, topped with twin Weber 45 DCO3 carburettors and mated to a correct five-speed transaxle, has since been shown at various events in Australia, including the Grand Prix.
2018, car was sold to Belgium
