"Twenty classic Lamborghinis, comprising Espadas and Isleros, gathered on 7 September in Perugia to start the tour organized by Lamborghini Polo Storico in celebration of their 50th anniversary. It was 1968 when the House of Sant’Agata Bolognese presented its first four-seater (Espada) and the evolution of its 2+2 (Islero). The tour route covered almost 800 km, crossing through Umbria, Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. Some twenty colorful Lamborghinis cruised over picturesque hill routes and through the historic centers of cities full of charm and history such as Perugia, Orvieto and Assisi. Though every one of the cars was worthy of the utmost attention, there were some that stood out for their particular story or that of the owner, deserving a special mention at the end of the tour by Stefano Domenicali, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lamborghini. An award for the car owned the longest by a single owner went to the 1973 Espada Series 3, chassis 9300, purchased as a used car in January 1977 by two English owners. For years it was the only family car, used on a daily basis to go to work and take the children to school. Considered by its owners to be part of the family, it was recently restored and registered for the tour on the occasion of the owners’ golden wedding anniversary."
