Maserati Birdcage

2007-05-04T22:58:00.000-07:00

The Maserati Tipo 61 (Birdcage) is among one of the most iconic racing cars in history. The car was produced between 1959 and 1961 by Maserati for racing in Le Mans. It became famous for its intricate tubular space frame chassis, containing about 200 aluminium tubes welded together, hence the nickname "Birdcage". This method of construction provided a more rigid and at the same time, lighter chassis than other sports cars of the time. The Camoradi team became famous racing the Tipo 61's but despite being faster round the track than other cars, the Birdcage was unreliable and often retired from races due to problems with the gearbox. The Maserati MC12 is available only in white and blue, to serve as a tribute to the Tipo 61 and the Camoradi racing team

Ford Fiesta Trivia

2007-04-18T16:29:00.000-07:00

- The short listed names for the new car designed by the project Bobcat team were Amigo, Bambi, Bebe, Bravo, Bolero, Cherie, Tempo, Chico, Fiesta, Forito, Metro, Pony and Sierra. Despite more board votes for "Bravo", Henry Ford II personally overruled and named the car "Fiesta". The name "Fiesta" belonged to General Motors at the time, however it was freely given for Ford to use on their new class B car.

- To cut costs and speed up the research and development time, many modified Kent Engines destined for the Fiesta were tested in Fiat 127s. This also allowed covert road testing across Europe.

- The original plans for the "Bobcat" claimed it must cost US$100 less to produce than the Ford Escort.

- In the UK the Fiesta holds the accolade of being the most often stolen car, followed closely by the Vauxhall Nova.
