Look up Tyrrell's Classic Workshop where Iain was invited to tune the Lamborghini Riva boat. I guess one of a kind and still running.
He's also been working on a Lamborghini tractor; his test drive was magnificent
That espada prototype looks like it's structural integrity is held together with hopes and prayers!
My thoughts exactly. Stiffness of a wet lettuce and the side impact protection of a party balloon! A similar car that made me cringe with the doors up is the Aston Martin Bulldog. Scary stuff.
this museum looks awesome. its empty and almost no barriers just letting people walk up to everything
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.
That's a wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.
what's the story with the 914 and the 65 ford mustang, as I would have never guessed he would have had those in his life
Thanks for bringing us with you on this incredible journey!
That’s Harry in his prime. You can feel the excitement.
The last 10 seconds of this post..nice gift thanks Harry
Thanks, I had to go back and check what the last 10 seconds of this video were ;-)

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...
Feels like Sunday to me now
We visited this museum 2014, and got a private walkaround with a guide, I guess they were in the startup of this, it was amazing to be there and here all stories behind it, I just love it!!
Cheers Harry, always incredible content , thank you!
Wonderful expose
Amazing..... a must to visit
Thank you Harry and crew.
Cheers Harry. Loved that mate. I'll be watching it again a few more times.
Thank you Harry what an absolutely exceptional businessman 👍
Thank you for taking us here! I have visited all of the German auto company museums (great fun) now you have given me more reason to visit Italy! Like I needed my arm twisted further!! :)
Harry - love your work, passion and enthusiasum. You are showing me many things that I will never see. Keep up the great work.
A very nice tour of the Museo. The individual 1960s industrialists in the post war era had to show great creativity if they were to survive. Lamborghini has an amazing story. Thanks for this presentation.
Wow! What an incredible tour! Thank you so much Harry Metcalfe.
There's a video of Ian Tyrell tuning that very Riva. Suprised you didn't give him a plug. Great video here ... 🇬🇧
Fantastic
Our eldest son & I visited this time last year, when touring the area: fantastic place, really enjoyed it, much quieter when we were there. I spent about 15 mins just taking in the red Muira, imagining Ferrucio driivng the same roads as we did, in that car.
Fantastic episode, have been to the museum really interesting place 😎👍
Thank you so much for this series of all things Lamborghini
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!
As a design guy this was a wonderful tour down memory lane. Thankyou.
This is an absolutely brilliant museum. We visited in May and it's fascinating. The history and the amount of photos on the walls and some amazing vehicles and tractors. Tonino Lamborghini did a great job of preserving the heritage at this place
I'll show you, Enzo!
He sure did.
Bravo, Ferruccio!
Well he did but Enzo had the last laugh.
@@GSCinquanta 😄 I think you are right. 👍 But, sure like saying "koon-tash". 😁
@@GSCinquanta depends on what you a measuring it by.
Excellent episode and series on Lambo Harry!
I had a guided tour back in 2011 was fantastic
Fascinating stuff 👌
Another great video has always harry mrs m and Charlie 👍
Enjoyed that, thank you
Great video Harry! 👌
Davide Cironi channel has some very beautiful car reviews.
And the way is driving them.
Bello bello bello bello bello
Fantastic Segment Harry ! thanks for the tour !
The little tractor on caterpillar tracks looks like it should be friends with Thomas the Tank Engine. So cute!
It may have been derived from the Kettenkrad
Such a treat. I never knew I was this oblivious to Lamborghinis history
WOW! That was fascinating, Thanks!
Thanks Harry 👍
Fantastic! Thank you. Some cars must have the hand of Giugiaro because you could spot similar lines with the Alfa GTV.
Great and informative video. Thank you Harry.
Thank you. Very interesting. Lamborghini has gone up in my estimation after watching this.
Modena and surroundings are on my bucket list with visits to all museums around there. Lambo, Ferrari, Pagani, Alfa, Maser
I think Maserati have a factory in Modena, too.
A friend used to be chief salesman for an agricultural machinery company based there in the 1980s. It was the centre of engineering excellence in Italy.
Thanks harry for the tour
Fascinating - and a fab video!
First class episode Harry 👌
That museum looks impressively personal...a tribute from his family... in contrast to the corporate style at the factory.
Incredible museum! Definitely one on the bucket list
Thank you Harry. A really great video tour. I am planning a visit.
Think this is the best Harry video ever done!👏👏👏👏
That's a great video Harry, thanks. :)
Went to the factory museum in Santa Agata in August but will now need to go back for this one!
Lovely presentation.
Harry the Lamborghini historian. A really amazing museum.
The story of Lamborghini is just so interesting, Harry great video bringing us inside of his museum, you are just so good at explaining and telling this story, I can't wait for more videos from this EU tous :)
Absolutely loved that! - Yet another museum I really should visit some day...
Thank you for posting. We planned on visiting the museum on our family holiday in Rimini/Bologna but museum was closed that day.
Interesting to realise how the Italian government back then subsidised Lamborghini to encourage Italian farming and manufacturing. I bet that struck a chord.
Especially to old man Ferrari lol
Interesting series you have going here thanks for posting on Thursday
Hi Harry, great content as usual, I think Iain Tyrrell covered going over and tuning the engines on that Riva with his bit of hose pipe on his Chanel last year!
lovely to see the prototypes, I still have a "memory" of seeing a Marzal at Butlins in Filey in the late 60s early 70s - I certainly knew what they were, I had 3 matchbox ones. I don't think my testimony would stand up in court though ....
What a terrific and informative video Harry, I loved it, thankyou
If my memory serves me right, the Riva Aquarama was originally powered by 2 x V8 6.7L Rolls Royce engines but Carlo Riva fell out with RR. They were replaced with Genral Motors V8 6.9L Cadillac engines. Mr Lamborghini must've thought his engines more superior, or wanted to add a personal touch to his to make the change, i'm not sure if he replaced the RR or GM lumps but, having heard one of these GM boats running myself, they are a petrolheads dream. Another epic vlog Harry, thank you.
Great museum 👍
Great vid 😊
one of your best videos. Loved it.
Awesome vid!!! 👍😊💥
the helicopter looks like the one off of fireman sam 😂 very interesting video thank you
My favorite Lamborghinis: Countach, Islero, Bravo.
Harry probably already home but hopefully he will visit the ABARTH museum in Italy so we can find out if AB F126 028 prototipo is there. And hopefully he will hit Guy Moerenhout’s ABARTH Museum in Belgium too!
Have a great trip and hopefully many more, perhaps even with the Lancia!
Very interesting indeed thanks again 👏👏
that was and is brilliant ;;
Fascinating museum! I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Ferruccio met Enzo!
Call me old fashioned but, I was always more taken with the Espada than the Countach! A family saloon car that looked like a cross between a greenhouse and a space ship, to my eyes!
15:21 Harry’s success evo 👍🏻
Would like to have seen more of the family cars, looked to be a nice variety
Thank you Harry, just what I needed today !!!! Greetings from Oslo :)
I love the look of the Jarama.
_Lamborghini_ don't work Mondays - I KNEW they were my kind of people!
a really interesting museum - visited in April 2022
Little museum but very ...intimo 😉
Min 7:10: One of my favorite automotive content creators (Harry Metcalfe) recommending watching videos by my favorite Italian automotive content creator (Davide Cironi)... ❤
Fabulous tour Harry but you got the Urraco / 308 thing the wrong way round... Gandini's 1970 Urraco prototype lead directly to his Dino 308GT4 design three years later. Ferrucio rejected that first prototype in favour of the second one (which looked much closer to the finished article), then when Bertone were given the brief to design the Dino 246GT's replacement Gandini dusted off his drawings for the first Urraco, tweaked them and turned them into the 308GT4. Ferruccio's plan was to produce a thousand or so Urracos a year, alas less than eight hundred were built between '72 and '79.
Harry talks about the office, the tractors, the heating units, the cars, boats and helicopter too but somehow misses all those typewriters dotted around the museum. Anyone else think we might see a Lamborghini Typewriter Christmas Special in a couple of months?
The typewriters were there as a temporary exhibit. They are from the same era and area as Lamborghini but not directly related. They did peek my interest too as I visited the museum a few months ago!
Good God that SV is gorgeous
So Harry, have you forgiven them for all the nonsense from them supplying the gear parts to Ian Tyrrell?
Only one Countach in the museum? No Periscopio? I want to see every major variation of every model. What a great museum, I must make my pilgrimage. It looks like Lamborghini didn't keep many of its concept cars, many seem to be in private hands. They belong here.
I watch your channels for farming and driving. Love them. But our family business was office equipment and the typewriter on a stand between two cars caught my attention. Typewriters, calculators etc of the day were complicated machinery with hundreds of finely machined parts. So I wonder about that Typewriter. Is it an Italian "Olivetti" Typewriter that Lamborghini had a hand it. Or maybe a Typewriter he designed or built? I've never heard of a Lamborghini Typewriter but I never knew Morris powered his early tractors either. Thanks guys. Cheers 🇨🇦
Hi James! I was in the museum a few months ago and the typewriters are from a private collection and shown as a temporary exhibit in the museum. I do not think they are directly linked to Lamborghini, but as you say they are from the same era and area as Lamborghini. Unfortunately, I have no further details, but there were a few rare Olivetti's on display!
Cars, tractors, boats, helicopters and bikes. In 1979, Lamborghini released a limited edition titanium-magnesium bicycle weighing 14.3 pounds.
Amazing history. Italy was coming out of WWII broke and many countries were able to get funding for the working man. The Mini, the Fiat 500 and the VW Beetle were a result of post war austerity. Ferrucio building tractors made him a firm favourite for the common man. Enzo with his sense of entitlement held no love for the poor and treated everyone with equal contempt. No wonder sports cars became an obsession for Lamborghini. The fact that they only produced cars for the super rich only made them more desirable and in America were called exotics. Production values weren’t that great and rust proofing was not a consideration but as works of art they are up there with da Vinci and Van Gough. The latest hyper cars owe their DNA to these entrepreneurs even if the price can be far in advance of most buyers.
Tractors, boilers, Supercars, powerboats and, almost, helicopters! Great info! 👍Obviously a very talented engineer with a keen eye for a business opportunity and the passion and drive to make it happen.
I can just imagine his run in with Enzo Ferrari over the quality of his cars, being fobbed off and thinking, sod it, I'll build my own and build it better. It's like a story from Boys Own magazine. 😃
I've always liked the Islero, first saw one on TV, driven by Roger Moore in 'The Man Who Haunted Himself'. A gullwing Espada would have been really special. Maybe it presented some reliability or safety issues?
Not many things sound better than a Countach on full noise, a powerboat with two 8 litre V12's could be one of them!👍👍
I think the Miura styling is up there with that of the E type Jag.....absolute timeless classical masterpieces of design.
So let me get this right - Morris was the spark for the Countach!
As I have been a direct business partner of Tonino Lamborghini himself for his trade mark products I can write books about his company 😄
…the EVO mag inside the concept Espada is an italian greeting in style from Lamborghini! Miura and Countach are automotive royalty ❤
His boat is held at the Riva Manufacturer/restore on Lake Como, and was in an article in Octane.
Dad had an Espada...proper school-run car.
I wanted to see the Nova kit car that's in there too. Their called a Purvis Eureka here in Australia. Besides that, great video :)
It's there at 11:30 - only it isn't a Nova, or a Eureka, but an unauthorised copy of the Nova Mk1 called the Puma GTV, produced in Rome by Adriano Gatto. The example in the museum belonged to Tonino Lamborghini and was fitted with an Alfasud boxer engine. You can tell it isn't a direct copy of the Nova because Gatto used a forward-hinged canopy, as well as a one-piece bodyshell.
