Episode 3 of Great Automotive Lives travels to Italy to inject a little Mediterranean heat and passion into proceedings. Like all our lives so far, Ferruccio Lamborghini achieved a great deal in a relatively short time with plenty of twists and turn on the way.

Huge apologies are preemptively made to any Italian speakers listening. Some of the pronunciations you will encounter will likely make your hair stand on end!

As promised here follows the links made mention of in the "Footsteps....." section of the podcast:

A delve into the remarkable life of Charles Rolls of enduring Rolls-Royce fame.

From far from humble beginnings to a sadly premature end as a pioneer of a nascent mode of transport, revisiting the life of Rolls is a great way to launch a fledgling podcast.

Contact can be made with suggestions for future episodes, derision over pronunciation missteps or kind words of encouragement.
