I photographed this car in the paddock taking part in a Ferrari Owners' Club Concours d'Elegance event at the Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992.
It's the 1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione of Stuart Passey, chassis #2209GT. This is the competition version of the Ferrari 250 GT, one of 74 built by Scaglietti, with an aluminium alloy body and the Colombo designed 2,953cc V12 engine. The car was originally sold to Ardilio Tavoni, apparently an agent for Jo Schlesser who a few days after the purchase drove the car to third place in the 1,000km of Montlhery partnered by André Simon.
