Ferruccio Lamborghini himself answered the many, sometimes difficult, questions from the members of the press, note that this very first prototype didn’t even have pedals or a windshield wiper installed, it was a true pro- totype. In fact the first chassis didn’t even have any mounts welded onto it to bolt the engine on when it would be installed, also the brakes weren’t connected and the impressive revolv- ing headlights wouldn’t work either, but still, a few days after this initial presentation, the car was shipped to the 1963 Turin Auto Show were it attracted a lot of attention ... both good and bad reactions were received from the stunned public.

Being able to drive the 350 GTV on the open road after nearly 30 years made clear that the general idea and setup of this car was right from the start, only some fine tuning would be needed to create a produc- tion car from this prototype. This priceless piece of Automobili Lambo- rghini SpA history was later acquired by Isao Noritake, president of the Japanese Lambo- rghini Owner’s Club, the car resided in the Noritake Collection until the renovation of the factory was finished, and this one of a kind Lamborghini was placed in the official factory museum, next to other cars like the Diablo Roadster prototype and the very last Coun- tach made, also note that today the original steering wheel was installed, or at least a replica of it ... making the legend complete again. 58 I Lamborghini Cars, the Magazine I The 350 GTV
