Take that Europe!!
With that many cars sat around in the distribution centre, it doesn't look as if they were selling all that well in Europe! wink

The most beautiful Lamborghini ever made! - So beautiful it could have been a Ferrari! wink

After the Miura, Lamborghini's were guilty of trying just too hard to be noticed! frown

Nice. I wonder where he's taking that. Hopefully to the wheel shop and not dropping it on the floor for storage ;(

OK, I know its not outside the factory but how a line up of cars sold by the same dealer 30 years ago?
These are DAC registered Sunbeam Lotus cars outside the original Talbot garage Arbury now a Peugeot dealer.

DAC 120Y on the right hand end, is showing as still being in use - Taxed and tested till April 2017, and the date of first registration was 23rd May 1983.

DAC 52Y (2nd on the right), comes up as SORN'd with no MOT, and it's date of first registration was 26th January 1983.

DAC 51Y (3rd on the right) comes up as SORN'd and MOT'd until March 2017, and the date of first registration was 19th January 1983.

I couldn't make out the registrations of the other cars to see if they still exist.

I'd suggest all the cars in the photo still exist, as it is a current photo!


Look at the cars in the background... wink

The other 2 cars are 13 and 35. This was taken in April 2013 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the cars being sold by Arbury.
DAC 120Y is indeed still showing as in use......I drove it yesterday!
