About the Ferrari 250 GTO #11 J. Surtees / M. Parkes Paris 1000km 1962 CMC 1:18
TL;DR: CMC's 1:18 diecast Ferrari 250 GTO reproduces the #11 John Surtees and Mike Parkes entry from the 1962 Paris 1000km, with opening doors and hood over the V12. This is a new model in new packaging. A driver-specific livery that adds real racing provenance to a GTO display.
John Surtees remains the only person to win world championships on both two and four wheels, and this #11 GTO ties that career directly to Ferrari's most celebrated GT racer.
Mechanical Detail Behind the #11 Livery
This GTO shares CMC's mechanically detailed construction with its sister liveries, doors and hood both opening to reveal a correctly instrumented cabin and the V12 engine bay with its exhaust routing rendered accurately. Being new and boxed fresh, the paint and the #11 racing graphics present with unmarked, factory-fresh gloss. The GTO's long, low nose and covered headlights, shaped by Bizzarrini's aerodynamic work and finished by Scaglietti, are captured with the crisp shut lines a diecast build at this level allows, giving the casting genuine structural weight in the hand.
Surtees, Parkes, and the Paris 1000km
John Surtees came to sports car racing with a reputation already built on motorcycle world championships before his move into cars, and pairing him with Mike Parkes, a respected Ferrari factory and test driver in his own right, gave this #11 entry real driving pedigree at the Paris 1000km in 1962. That event formed part of the broader endurance calendar the 250 GTO campaigned across that season, results that collectively built the reputation the model still carries today. For collectors, a specific driver pairing like this one turns a Ferrari-red paint job into a documented piece of motorsport history.
Positioning This GTO in a Racing Lineup
This model sits naturally alongside CMC's other 1962 GTO liveries, letting a collector assemble a genuine season-spanning display of the model's endurance racing campaign. New and boxed fresh, it is ready for immediate display in a historic GT collection.
