I sadly never got to meet the grand man himself, but have heard lots of colorful stories from people who did meet him. One of them was Michel Sauze, known for making some of the very best model cars in bronze. He met Ferruccio on a regular basis and always took a snapshot of Ferruccio and gave it back to him as a present the next time they met. Ferruccio never saw the attached photo, taken in December 1992. It's a powerful portrait. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Another nice set of portraits was given to me by photographer Peter Vann years ago: Ferruccio Lamborghini & his Miura SV | Joe Sackey Classics , and they depict Ferruccio Lamborghini and his beloved Miura SV: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Correct. I bought a copyright from Peter to reproduce them in my Miura book The Lamborghini Miura Bible ? Joe Sackey | Joe Sackey Classics because I thought they were so epic! Just look at the admiration for his own car captured in the top image...
One of the most beautiful photos of FL that i've ever seen. Some of them are in the beginning of the Miura thread. Here is another one with the two Lamborghini legends. http://i1003.photobucket.com/albums/af153/Gregory_058/1781818_10155232370465035_6821691506957948587_o_zpspgulfpi1.jpg
Strange! It seems that there is a painting with a cavallino rampante on the wall... Do you have an explanation?
Olivier took this picture from Facebook. This guy, Lamborghini Exclusive, watermarks all the pictures he posts with that 'painting' of a big bull like creature with a Ferrari horse in it's hand. Usually he puts it in a place that 'kind of blends in' with the picture; in this case on the rear wall. So, that is/was not there in reality, ever
What an exciting time it must have been back then to be part of Lamborghini, part of something so new, special and evolving. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have some friends in Italy who were his friends and they always tell me good stories of this extraordinary man.
About the beginnings... What did Ferruccio LAMBORGHINI find when he "declutched" the Ferrari that he owned? A. The clutch was the same type and build with the ones used in he's tractors. B. a small flimsy clutch(like a FIAT one say) who couldn't cope with the forces of the V12. C.other. PS. Is it true, the Ferrari with the bad clutch was a white 250GTE belonging to Mrs. Lamborghini?
A. no B. yes, what so ever was the clutch supplier to Ferrari so to solve this, he has adapted the strong clutch of one of his tractor model to cope with the force of V12 yes it was his white 250 GTE
Dallara looks proud Ferruccio looks confident Bob looks looks worried [perhaps it won't fit into the GTV]
No kidding we are the 28th April 2015, in a year we will celebrate its 100th Anniversary !!! cheers, Olivier LCB
The red Miura in this museum is STUNNING! What's with the Urraco "3000" badge though? Ferruccio Lamborghini?s Ingenuity Is On Full Display in This Museum | Petrolicious
