    True. It was my first trip ever from NZ to Italy so I was very excited only to be denied entry to the factory (gatehouse people citing health and safety regulations since Audi had just taken over).
    I was with 2 lady friends who stayed in our rental car while I went foraging. I feel lucky that back then there were still treasures abandoned in the long grass at the back of the factory. I just wish as noted I had taken more photos. As time passes the memory of the actual experience fades. Diablo is obvious but I’m sure there was also the ‘shell’ of an evolution car with odd long round air intakes as opposed to the more normal flat oblong entry ones.

    It was 19 years ago but my gut says black was the colour I saw.

    Question about the factory - did Ferruccio build the factory or was it a building he bought or leased and retrofitted?

    I missed the question - Ferruccio purpose-built the factory from scratch in 1962

    Opening day.

    The fact that the factory remains at the original place in Sant Agata is pretty special, if only those walls could talk

    I love impressions from the factory during the 70/80ies

    EPA norms, the 1973 oil crisis and strikes made things difficult for the company...
