400 GT claims Earls Court Lamborghini victory

This year was no exception, with exhibition displays from Land Rover, Porsche, Maserati, Ford, Jaguar, BMW and Aston Martin wowing the Revival spectators. 

These were joined by a dedicated ‘Raging Bulls’ Lamborghini concours, marking the centenary of the cult Italian sports car creator’s birth – Ferruccio Lamborghini – as well as the 50^th anniversary of his landmark Miura mid-engined supercar, which famously debuted at the 1966 Geneva Salon.

With almost 25 astonishing examples of the Lamborghini marque’s model programme to choose from, including two 1950s tractors, the visiting public were asked to vote for their personal favourite model – for a small donation to the official 2016 Revival charity; D-Day Revisited – spanning Lamborghini’s full vehicle production portfolio, from the 1950s, right up to 2016.

As one might expect with the Revival crowd, the older Lamborghinis tended to prove more popular, with an immaculate blue 1966/67 400 GT 2+2, owned by GRRC member Stephen Keen, gaining the highest number of votes by some margin. 

A white Miura P400 S was the second most popular Lamborghini, with a modern Huracan Spyder attracting the younger voters in third.  The early FL4 tractor came in fifth position, with the 1956 DL30 tractor also scraping into the top ten favorites.
