Commemorative Motorsport-Holdall 1960 Maserati Tipo 61 Birdcage Camoradi Stirling Moss No 5

Why the number 5?

HISTORY ON THE BIRDCAGE THE CAR, A charmingly graceful body designed by the mastermind Giulio Alfieri, who integrated a light frame of barely 30 kg with more than 200 single pieces of tube. Because of this engineering innovation, the MaseratiTipo 60/61 acquired the legendary nickname “Birdcage”. Only 23 units were made during the years from 1959 through 1961.

The American Lucky Casner was one of the most successful owners of the Birdcage Tipo 61. In May 1960, Sir Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney won the 1,000-km race of Nürburgring. With the starting number 5, they accomplished an outstanding victory in the pouring rain against keen competition. Only one year later the Camoradi Team (Casner Motor Racing Division) repeated the winning record with Casner and Gregory as the drivers. These consecutive victories added new glory to Maserati and sustained its everlasting top position in the illustrious circle of racing car manufacturers.

The current USA owner of this famous race car is now using one of these holdalls as his kit bag. Photo of holdall and original car coming soon.
