Why not start a new thread with pictures of Ferruccio in many occasions ! Few of us may have met him or have just collected pictures of him... Today is the 22th anniversary of the death of Ferruccio Lamborghini, a genius and a generous man who had inspired so many people and for who we all have a deep respect, R.I.P...

Here are a few pics that date back to 1988 - a very cordial and down to earth person - he was more than glad to sign my car than started signing books on my roof for about 20 minutes. A much younger me with a crooked bowtie! Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I don't have anything to offer I'm afraid but I will say that the portrait posted above is one of the best I've seen of Ferruccio. There is a warmth to that photo that shines through which says to me that while he's no longer with us in person, in spirit he still looms large among us.
I acutally sold it about 10 years ago to a freind and mechanic which worked at the factory in the R&D department - he was part of the team of the Urraco and LP400. It now resides a half hour away and i see it often. Not a fast car but it handled very well.
Kind of like my Dino 308gt4...I love this car...awesome sensory experiences....Love my lambo...a true "event" car...stuart
No. There is a story about a famous client arriving at Sant Agata to collect his new Countach LP400. He arrived only to find the Commendatore polishing his car!

My favourite is on the introduction because he is smiling to life and to you... Here are my 2x next favourites... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Why not also include some videos? A great period video with a Miura, an Islero and a 350/400gt. There is a very nice interview of Ferruccio in which he states that the Miura will remain in the story of automobile... Plus also a very nice explanation of what could be customer service in the period. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7euJVBOtuqY The great man telling the legend! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SmUFKgjB6KQ Some old videos, unfortunately, without his master's voice... By the way for jlonmark, there is a small footage with a tractor! Ferruccio Lamborghini, dai trattori alle auto sportive - Rai Storia
Of all the pictures I have taken of Mr. Lamborghini this is my favorite - him signing on his Miura - sorry for the poor quality, I just took a phone picture - did not want to remove from the album to scan. Image Unavailable, Please Login
