“A Hampshire car enthusiast couldn’t afford the classic Ferrari he’d always wanted – so he painted one on his garage door instead. Chris Smart, 32, spent two weeks sketching and painting the rare 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO with weather resistant paints. Now neighbors and passers-by could be forgiven for thinking the customer support worker has traded in his BMW 1 Series for a classic motor. Drivers even slam on their brakes to catch a glimpse as they pass the garage in Bishopstoke, near Eastleigh. Married Chris, who studied art at college, said: “I hated the garage door before because it was really dull. “I saw garage covers on the internet and wanted one unique to me. I have always loved this particular car and wanted to make it a bit of fun.” w/ photo
