UK police to drive Ferrari 612 Scaglietti HGTS
December 31st, 1969
For the British leg of Ferrari’s 60th Anniversary relay, the local boys in blue will be behind the wheel of a special one-off 612 Scaglietti HGTS dressed in UK police livery. The relay starts today with the fleet of international drivers kicking off in Belfast and traveling the 1,500 miles to London with five of the UK’s finest there to promote the government’s ‘Think!’ road safety campaign.
The car provided to the UK police is decked out in Blu Tour de France and features a beige interior with Daytona style seats and personalized stitching. The special 612 also picks up the HGTS handling package and has a specially installed emergency lighting bar.
The relay, which began back in January in Abu Dhabi, has already crossed numerous countries including China, Japan, the US, Spain, Portugal and Australia, and by its end will have seen over 10,000 Ferrari owners involved. The Managing Director of Ferrari in Great Britain, Massimo Fedeli, boasted “our 60th anniversary tour is the perfect opportunity to provide this special 612 Scaglietti HGTS for the police service of England, Ireland and Wales to drive. This reinforces Ferrari’s commitment to responsible driving and promoting road safety.”
