Ferruccio Lamborghini Museum. It started with tractors, then supercars, helicopters & wine

[@simonisherwood1676]

Thank you for showing the museum, it brought back a nice memory of my father. After the oil crisis in 'the 70's 'Lamborghini' designed a heating system that used old engine oil as fuel, and from memory it was aimed at commercial service centres which at the time had to pay to dispose of it. My father was sent over to the factory to learn how the system worked with a view to bringing it back to the uk. Several pictures of him stood outside the main building and internally of the boiler room where they used their own old oil to heat the factory! Ferruccio was a very clever man.

[@ImpartiallySpeaking]

The thing i love about then apart from the beautiful design is the fact that they don’t discriminate when it comes to buyers. There’s none of the snob culture of only allowing buyers to buy rare models if they already own multiple cars as some rival manufacturers do.

[@tomfurie2996]

I just realized why Harry has such a passion for Lamborghini. He relates directly to the same farmer upbringing, passion for mechanical engineering, and the entrepreneurial spirit. Fast cutting edge cars too.

this museum looks awesome. its empty and almost no barriers just letting people walk up to everything

[@nutbrook]

In 1989 we were staying on Lake Tresimano in Umbria. We went looking for a vineyard and happened upon Ferruccio Lamborghini's vineyard by chance. He had a small museum there you could visit and had an example of every tractor and car he had produced - probably the examples now in the Bologna museum? . After we had bought some of his wine he came over from his house and chatted to us briefly, he was as just as proud of his wines and tractors as he was his cars! Quite an experience.

[@patrickdgarez86]

A wonderful aspect of this museum is how nothing is roped off which offers the visitor the opportunity to get up close and personal. Its management expects people to be mature enough to respect the historical value of each piece and not overstep. Always a joy to watch another installment of Mr. Metcalfe's garage.

[@jep1912]

Lovely Harry! Thankyou for this hidden gem. Growing up Lamborghini was for me the most desirable of all. Super rare to see a Lambo in the flesh compared to Ferrari or Porsche in the 70’s and 80’s. Ferrucio would no doubt have loved to spend time with you if Harry’s Garage was around in the 1970’s.

[@alcampbell5831]

As a teenage boy in Australia in the 70s cutting Countach pictures out of magazines to paste on my school books and then as a 20 year old riding im my boss's Urraco, the Old Lamborghini museum is the only one for me! So thank you Harry for these last few videos.

Gosh, I love the pop-up headlamp version of the 350. It's incredibly sleek and glamorous. Don't get me wrong, the dual and quad headlamp versions of the 350 and 400 are gorgeous as well. Thanks for this great tour Harry. There is a part of me that's very interested seeing more about his personal cars as well, after seeing the Mustang shown there. Great job, as always Mr. Metcalfe!

[@ScreengageLLC]

This Lamborghini / Countach series has changed my view of the car. As a kid when the Countach came out of course I thought it was stunning. As I got older it looked like a nightmare to own, a nightmare to drive, a nightmare to maintain and so on. Watching you drive your cars across Europe and seeing them not catch on fire or break apart is so refreshing. New respect for the Countach. Thanks!

[@leolopezvalido1892]

Wonderful and fascinating video of the Lamborghini museum. I imagine there aren't many people left from the original days of Ferruccio as the "sign of the bull" is often misrepresented. The Maŕzal name, for example, came from breeders of the Spanish fighting bull in Olivenza, a beautiful village south of Badajoz. This brings me to Ferruccio's relationship with the world of Tauromaquia... and his friendship with Eduardo Miura. More than one model name was inspired by him and "Los toros de Miura" are still legendary today across Spain as the Miura is asociated to Lamborghini in Italy, I'm sure! Lastly, so good to see that beautiful - and so rare - Islero there. "Islero" was the name of the fighting bull that took the life of a very young - and brave - Manolete so many years ago. It was one of Eduardo Miura's...

Wow what an amazing museum, need to add it to my list. I discovered Lamborghini's link to power boats when I visited Stockholm in the late 90's with work. Our sales rep had an Espada and knew we were also into cars so took us to a car meet one evening. Whist there we got talking to two chaps who had brought their power boats down the coast both were powered by 2 Lamborghini V12 engines. The sound was out of this world. Thanks for sharing such an interesting video 🙂
