Lambos@ Brooklands -Supercar Celebration
Discussion
Can't get any more data at the moment.
The lime green "6.0L VT" was parked next to mine at brooklands and looked/sounded a "little" different from the outset ....def didn't sound like a V12; shut lines on the doors bonnet were way off the mark; and a look thru the engine cover slats showed that it def wasn't a Lambo engine!!! On the road tho' in convoy, I doubt that many people noticed.
what a great turnout, weather was actually quite sunny during the 30 mins I was there so rushed around and got some good pics + video of 100+ Lambos leaving
Highlights - 350GTs, Gallardo spyder, rainbow of 6.0VTs (even if green one was fake), Miuras, Countachs starting up and reversing Lambo-style, some great plates, laughing at HOT 53X plate
Lowlights - Venturi-crash, dark blue Murcielago with awful grey two-tone paint job, reminders of styling of Diablo roadsters, laughing at HOT 53X owner's white shellsuit

Has anyone heard about the Venturi driver yet?? Can anyone confirm that he is ok?
Less importantly, how did his car cope with the accident?/ is the 400GT a definate write off??

Venturi 400GT was being driven by my brother and had my 14 year old son in the car. Both were unhurt just a bit shaken by the experience. (Thank goodness). As somone put it my brother looked as though he had "just put his foor through the Mona Lisa!" I was in front in the silver diablo and watched the whole thing in my rear view mirror. For reference about the car the Venturi was/Is one of only 14 400GT's and the only right hand drive in existence. The link between Venturi and Lamborghini is that in 1992 the Venturi formula 1 team used lambo V12 engines. Of the 14 cars built there were 2 series 2 cars of which this was one. It was not a converted race car. The car has only done 4,000 miles, was concours in condition and was my pride and joy. (Am gutted). Our thanks for the messages of concern over the accident and the emergency services were outstanding. Sorry to have missed the rest of the day but by the looks of the pictures the whole event was fantastic. (Am going now to open bottle of wine to drown my sorrows!)

Ouch again! Ta for the info on the car, history and spec, always hate to see rarities and one offs bite the dust. Enjoy the wine and remember to pour one for the big man upstairs that y'all still breathing. Been there,done that.

I wouldn't bother; I've been reliably informed it was a replica
Yes if the person asking for the photos to be shared are looking for images of the real thing!
Aha, I think Ive got a bone to pick with you! Imagine making a TVR owner wait on a steep hill on his handbrake! Good job I wasnt in a Cerbie really
Im presuming you were in the White County

I can empathise with that as the handbrake in the CT is crap too. Sorry!
Dont suppose you hire the VT out do you? A m8 at work has been trying like buggery to get hold of a white CT to hire for a wedding!
