Just received two of the three Maserati Tipo 61 "Birdcages" as campaigned by Stirling Moss and Dan Gurney for the Camoradi team in 1960. The No. 5 car was first in the Nurburgring 1000 Km race, but No. 23 DNF'd at Sebring.

These are extremely well done Harv. I have the larger CMC No.5. and a few others.
Here is the. Maserati Tipo 61 Longtail #2461 Camoradi from Le Mans, 1960 #26 Munaron/Scarlatti in resin by Protégé K in Italy.
The car was DNF.

One more Birdcage. A BAM built of the Meri kits, this is also a Tipo 61 longtail. Raced by the Cunningham team, it was 8th at Le Mans in 1961. One of the few over-30-year-old handbuilts I've held on to, it holds up well today.
