    Wikipedia.org :Ferruccio Lamborghini was an enthusiastic owner of sports cars, including a Ferrari. The standard tale goes that he took this car back to the Ferrari factory when its clutch failed. Enzo Ferrari refused to meet him, saying that 'A tractor manufacturer could never be expected to understand high-bred sports cars'. So—after fixing the clutch with surprising ease—he decided to go into business, building the perfect GT (Grand Touring) car. (Another version of the tale holds that Ferruccio was incensed when he found out that the bum clutch on his Ferrari was the exact same model that he used on his tractors, only far more expensive.) I whant to know if is a 1961 Ferrari 250GT 2+2 Pinifarina owned by Lamborghini .If is ,maibe someone help me to complete the story.

    This is a well known story and one of many which are attributable to the founding of the Lamborghini car production.

    Tonino Lamborghini would be an obvious place to start or maybe Marcel knows.
