My old Lambo photos from the 90s
Discussion
I can only think that as this was my first event I was ill prepared with the amount of film I had, or I haven't dug out all of my photos yet, and at that time I was trying to capture images of as many different cars as I could.
There is a bit more Lambo stuff to come from the 1989 and 1990 events!

Great top see so many photos of the track day at Goodwood run between Lotus & Lamborghini. My car is in 4 of the photos that I can see, and I'm in this one, in my Turbo Esprit queuing to go out on the track.

Espada first. I was lucky enough to drive an Espada S3 when I was 18 years old so I am rather fond of these.

So I was lucky enough to grow up in Halstead, Essex which is home to Eurospares - the Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati spares specialists. I got to know the owners very well and, much to their frustrations I should imagine(!), I spent much of my summer holidays hanging around there so every now and again I got to see some nice cars drop by.
It's fair to say Eurospares has come along way now from its somewhat humble but charming beginnings.

This last one...sorry about the quality...was taken at the Portman Lamborghini service centre. It's S reg, so reckon 1978(?) and seems to have US rubber bumpers. Guess it must have been one of the last built??

That's it for Espadas for now folks. Onto Miuras.

Another Eurospares sighting. This was lovely and if my memory serves me well have Ferruccio Lamborghini's signature on the dash.
I guess I could and should clean the photos up one day but kind of like the feel of them.

A friend of mine had an Espada at the time and had Colin Clarke do some work on it. I was lucky enough to visit when the Espada was down there and snapped a few nice cars. It was quite an Aladdin's cave.

That's it for Miuras. Will try and post some V8 stuff later in the week.

Spotted what I'm fairly certain is my old 205GTI 1.9 in the background of some of the latest photos, so I looked back at the rest of the thread (which I'd seen before) and then saw my son and myself in three of the photos. Not sure how I missed them. Those were great events. Thanks for posting the photos.

I wonder if that is my Maserati Bora lurking behind that Espada - if so it would be before I owned it.Espada first. I was lucky enough to drive an Espada S3 when I was 18 years old so I am rather fond of these.

Robin - that photo would have been taken around 1990/1991. The blue Espada is my friend's one that we went to see, as it was having its engine rebuilt.
Robert - alas I don't recall any Countaches at Colin's on that visit. Sure I would've taken photos if I had and I don't recall Colin asking me not to take photos of certain cars.
