ABOUT THE ARTIST
Paul Ward has been a professional photographer for over twenty years now and recently won his category at the British Photography Awards 2020. Over the years his work has been published in many books and magazines both in the UK and internationally and his architectural images currently adorn the walls aboard Cunard’s flagship Queen Mary 2. Paul’s passion for cars started when he bought his first Austin Mini almost 30 years ago and ever since then he has been obsessed with both classic cars and modern supercars, so, as an image-maker, it’s not surprising that automobile photography has become a passion of his too.

ABOUT THIS COMMISSION
This is a digitally-drawn recreation of a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, inspired by Chassis 3445GT.

The car was restored to its original engine and bodywork configuration in which it was delivered in 1962 to its first owner, Bologna-based publisher Luciano Conti. The latter also drove the 250 GTO in its maiden race, the Bologna-Passo della Raticosa.

In June 1962 the car was sold to Count Giovanni Volpi di Misurata, a racing driver who competed under the S.S.S. Repubblica di Venezia insignia. During this period, the car also won the Trophée d’Auvergne with Carlo Maria Abate behind the wheel.

In April 1963 this 250 GTO changed hands again, being purchased by Ulf Norinder who changed its livery from the original red to blue and yellow colours of his native Sweden; the same livery the car proudly wears today.

Norinder drove it to victory in the Vastkustloppet race in Sweden, with the car also finishing second twice in the famous Targa Florio race (with Bordeu and Scarlatti in 1963, and 1964 with Norinder and Pico Troiberg). The 250 GTO entered the latter race as no. 112 which it still bears today.

After 1964, the car changed hands several times before being bought by its current US-based owner who had it restored to its original splendour.
