This Maserati Tipo 61 too room copy was constructed circa 1990 by
Crosthwaite & Gardiner in East Sussex, England, for Californian
vintage racer and collector Don Orosco, whose original Tipo 61
reportedly served as a template for the build. The car was
purchased in 2008 by its previous owner, with whom it spent 10 years in
Australia before being moved to Belgium. Construction incorporates a
steel “birdcage” tube frame joined via TIG welds with overlaid gas welds
and wrapped in hand-formed aluminum bodywork finished in red. The car
is powered by a 2.9-liter DOHC inline-four that is mounted at a canted
angle behind the front axle and features dry-sump lubrication, twin-plug
ignition, and dual Weber 45 DCO3 carburetors.
It has afive-speed
manual transaxle, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, coil-spring
independent front suspension, a de Dion rear axle,
16” Borrani wire wheels.
This spaceframe has been assembled using TIG welds dressed
with gas welds to simulate the appearance of factory joints. Aluminum
bodywork was reportedly hand-formed by Rod Jolley in Hampshire, United
Kingdom.
