Description

Despite producing only 22 examples between 1959 and 1961, the Birdcage is perhaps the best-known and most desirable of all the competition Maseratis ever built. One look at its offbeat construction and sensuous bodywork and it’s easy to see why.
Although the company, founded by the six Maserati brothers in the early part of the 20th century, was frequently in financial difficulties, it has, in it’s troubled life span, managed to produce a number of significant low-volume, high-priced classics.
