H.R. Owen, a luxury car dealership group in London, has handed over a gorgeous one-off 812 Superfast which wears the unique blue and white livery that was featured on the Rob Walker 250 SWB Berlinetta Competizione, a car that dominated racing in the early 60’s with Sir Stirling Moss behind the wheel.

This stunning 812 is finished in matte Blu Scozia Opaco with white highlights and white decals found on the bonnet and on each side of the car. H.R. Owen’s customer picked the heritage-inspired design with the help of Ferrari’s ‘Tailor Made’ customisation department.

The 812 Superfast is powered by a 6.5L V12 engine that makes 800 horsepower. For those that do not understand, just know that it is a lot of power.

H.R. Owen CEO, Ken Choo, said: “Ferrari has such an incredible history, both on the road and on the track, so we applaud this customer’s choice in evoking an iconic livery for his 812 Superfast. It’s fitting that this design was first seen on a V12 berlinetta Ferrari in the early ’60s and here — more than 55 years later — we see it on a car that can trace its V12 lineage right back to the 250 SWB and beyond.”

What’s the price, I hear you ask? This hasn’t been released, but the standard 812 Superfast starts at £262,963.
