Eastern Loop?

 

Lucky you can get 'e handling well the parts suspension bin is huge .

 

what you didn't think to put different shockers or springs or sway bars on it .?

 

Long time ago now Robert.

Nice road car, not a track car.

 

Yep.

 

This is why Ian and I don't come on here a lot all you want to do is argue and bicker.

 

Should you really be mentioning yourself and KIAI in the same post?

Poor KIAI.

 

Yep, was a great time.

 

I was at a sprint day when your Dad was there with that car - might have been the same day! I remember him in my mirrors on full opposite lock coming down the hill onto the straight. Looked sensational.

 

RIP Trev.

 

First time I saw your dad was at Darlington Park ........ that was a dangerous track with trees very close to the track

 

Yeah, but a very interesting layout. The 4ft thick gum tree on the outside of the tight left hander after a blind crest sticks in my memory

 

Bevan nearly wiped the F40 and himself out there

 

So long as it's "nearly", it's fine

 

It's incredible that 60% of all RHD production ended up in Australia. And of total production, over 10%.

Australia really punched above its weight in 1970s Lamborghini sales.

Does anyone know what became of Henry Nehrybecki and Tony De Fina?

 

Beautiful car but attention to detail: Islero was the bull that killed Manolete and was of the Miura line.

 

I knew Henry in the early 80's when the shop was at Crows Nest. He moved it up to Hornsby in 85 or 86?? My recollection is that he died not long after.

 

Thanks John, I'm not that well versed in the early Lamborghini history, that fills in a bit. He wouldn't have been that old when he died it seems.

I can tell you a bit about G.T. Lamborghini here in Melbourne, around the time the place "burned" down lol.

 

My sister (tower in Brighton -you know the one) enjoys this as her little shopping car to the local stores. So easy to park.
