LONDON: Lamborghini will celebrate past and present at this year’s Salon Prive, with activities including concours entries, a debut and supercar test-drives.
The event will be held during the first week of September 2016.
With cars to admire and even test drive, there’s something for all Lamborghini fans.
Salon Prive and Lamborghini PoloStorico, the marque’s heritage division, will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Miura, universally regarded as the first-ever supercar.
With its own class in the prestigious Chubb Insurance Concours d’Elegance, 50 Years of the Lamborghini Miura will see over 10 of the world’s best examples entered into the Miura-only category, with two examples making their way from the US in order to compete.
On display as part of the 50 Years of the Lamborghini Miura class celebrations is the original Miura SV shown at Geneva Motor Show in 1971.
It will be showcased at Salon Prive following its recent comprehensive restoration by Lamborghini PoloStorico.
The unique pre-production model was originally built with parts of the Miura S, but incorporated pioneering features that would be seen on later SVs.
Not to be outdone, the Pirelli-backed Prestige & Performance Competition on Saturday 3rd has its own Diablo-only class, The Diablo Tribute, where a 2000 6.0 VT Final Edition will battle it out in the modern-day concours against nine other entrants, including chassis number 001 SVR, the first of just 31 racing versions produced, a limited-edition SE30 30th anniversary model and also a VT Roadster.
Throughout the event, Lamborghini’s official Birmingham dealership will manage guests’ test drives in the rear-wheel drive Lamborghini Huracán and its four-wheel drive equivalent, as well as the Spyder version.
The 15-mile test-drive opportunity is part of Salon Prive’s ‘see it, test it, drive it’ experience.
Salon Prive is the only event of its type that allows its guests to drive cars on the public road in the UK.
