The Tipo 61 "Birdcage" is named after its complex tubular chassis. Around 200 aluminum tubes made up the entire chassis. The car has a fantastic racing history including a win at the 1960 Nurburgring 1000 km and has been driven by greats such as Stirling Moss, Dan Gurney, and Roger Penske. Only 22 were made and were all driven by private teams in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
