In 1992, Kevin Waite was the artist commissioned to paint the original oil painting to commemorate Fangio’s visit to South Africa. Limited edition prints were reproduced of the painting for sale to the public, and Fangio personally hand-signed every print! The Pirelli agents in Australia used a portion of the prints as prizes for customers in their loyalty programs. A copy of the print is housed in the Pirelli archives in Italy.
As payment for doing the painting Kevin retained a limited number of the signed prints, and kept them in a safe place for over 30 years, and he would like to sell them to collectors. he had the prints independently valued 10 years ago and have that written valuation at that time, which was $500 each.
Kevin will include with each print a photo of Fangio signing the prints, a certificate of authenticity and a copy of the gala program. Contact him at: KevinWaite24@yahoo.com or +61 424262412 – Kevin Waite in Australia
