    I can't remember which Lamborghini prototype was sitting at the factory for decades, I think I saw it, but I am getting older now (68) so it escapes me and I am trying to research cars that reached decrepitude and then were found. Was it the Flying Star?
    The Jota (reportedly destroyed), something with the letters 400 in it?
    It's not the Bravo--I think that was offered in an auction, I was surprised it was a running car. Maybe that was when Bertone sold off some cars. On the Bravo, what did it sell for? And what country did it go to?

    The Bravo, Athon, and Marzal were all sold at auction and went to a Swiss owner.

    Monza? Actually, thinking about it, I don't think it sat at the factory for decades.

    The original 350GTV prototype sat at the factory is disuse until it was rescued in the early 1990's.

    In the graveyard behind the factory there were the two early Urraco protos, Urraco Bob, Luci del Bosco Urraco P250, Yellow P300 mule, Espada gullwing proto, the Ilariucci Silhouette, white Jalpa, Countach proto Evoluzione?, LMA and LM001, Jalpa Spider... I've probably missed some but then I'm getting on a bit too!

    Some of these are at the Museo Ferruccio Lamborghini, and you can see pictures of them in the thread I started a couple of days go with that title.
