Followers of the channel will no doubt be familiar with this car, the beautiful 350 GT, chassis number 109 and the sixth ever production Lamborghini to roll out of the factory. Having first featured in the third episode on the channel back in January 2020, the car has featured in several episodes as we've documented the careful and loving restoration process of this Italian classic. Iain brings us up to speed on the work to date and one particular task that proved quite the challenge! Huge thanks to Lamborghini historian and expert Olivier Nameche for his invaluable help with this video.
With the comprehensive restoration work now complete, attention moves onto the road and how she drives and handles, with the shakedown mileage accounting for a surprising percentage of a car's restoration process. Iain first treats her to an initial engine tune-up before taking her out for her maiden voyage to see just how well she drives. With all his senses heightened, it's important to identify all the remaining jobs that will need addressing before she's ultimately ready for delivery to the customer.
And before we go, there's just time for an exciting announcement! Many people have been asking about the polo shirts that Iain's staff wear in the workshop and we're delighted to announce that we now have an online store selling these along with baseball caps. Your support for Iain and the channel is very much appreciated.
