“I know Nuneaton very well,” says Giancarlo Barbieri, surprisingly, in his heavily accented English.
A Lamborghini employee from 1965 to 2005, he is one of the retired old hands that still lives in the Italian supercar manufacturer’s home town of Sant’Agata.
He is regularly called upon to help maintain and restore the cars on which he worked when they were new.

Polo Storico cares for classic Lamborghinis from 1963-2001
“I tested a lot of cars at MIRA,” continues Giancarlo.
“They were the most professional. Certification from MIRA was accepted across the world.”
It’s the memories and expertise of former employees such as Giancarlo, along with period drawings and photographs, that have allowed Polo Storico, founded in 2015, to rebuild classic Lamborghinis with a remarkable – and at times bullish – commitment to originality.
