Celebrating its 60th anniversary, Automobili Lamborghini is pulling out all the stops to make an impact at the 40th edition of the Auto e Moto d’Epoca classic car show. For the first time, the iconic Ialian supercar manufacturer will bring the event to its home province in Bologna, from October 26th to 29th. Lamborghini Polo Storico, the department dedicated to the brand’s heritage, will be the main attraction, showcasing a lineup that includes two iconic models, the first Countach LP 400 produced and an Espada Series 3 under restoration.
Started in 2015, Polo Storico is a reflection of Lamborghini’s commitment to preserving its rich automotive and motorsport history. The department focuses on classic car restoration, certification of classic Lamborghini models up to the Diablo, and organizing events tailored for Lamborghini collectors. Their stand at the event promises a jaw-dropping display of Sant’Agata Bolognese’s automotive history, including the first-ever Countach LP 400. This red beauty, with chassis number 1120001, was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1973. The car became a myth of sorts until its rediscovery in Switzerland in 2003, where it was confirmed to be the original Countach after restoration works revealed its initial red paint underneath a layer of green.
Also turning heads will be the Espada Series 3, chassis number 8824. Launched in 1968, the Espada was Lamborghini’s first venture into the four-seater market. This particular Espada is still in the restoration phase and is presented as a work-in-progress, allowing attendees to see a masterpiece in the making. For those lucky enough to be in Bologna during the event, the Lamborghini stand is located in Hall 32 between the Costituzione and Aldo Moro entrances to Bologna Fiere. Doors open at 9 a.m., giving car enthusiasts and collectors a golden opportunity to immerse themselves in the legacy of one of the world’s most storied car brands.
