The by now famous red Lamborghini Countach Quattrovalvole was present again, this time with a color coded rear wing instead of the clear carbon fiber finished one we’ve seen earlier on this amazing looking fuel injected car. Next to it the successor to the Countach in the shape of the original Murciélago 6.2 model finished in bright orange metallic with a stunning two-tone leather interior combining black and orange leather with the stunning Q-Citura stitching pattern.

Naturally a series of Lamborghini Gallardo were on show too, going from the yellow car that could be rented for a stint on the track over a second yellow early model in pristine condition to a stunning black metallic LP560-4 edition rolling on the special cross spoke wheels.

The most impressive Gallardo on the stand just had to be that white Superleggera edition, one of only a handfull ever made, this Bianco shade really makes the clear carbon fiber parts found on the original Gallardo Superleggera stand out ever so nicely, combine this with the dark grey, almost black full Alcantara interior (the entire dashboard is covered in Alcantara too) and this V10 is a stunning beauty, especially with those carbon fiber door panels added into the mix!

As the 2014 National Oldtimer Festival was coupled to the Super Car Sunday celebration there were many other super exotic cars to be admired further down on the paddock of the Circuitpark Zandvoort, how about a bright yellow Pagani Zonda Roadster … or a series of no less than four Koenigsegg Agera and even a Ferrari F50 in bright yellow instead of the usual red.

Now one of the more interesting Lamborghini in the Super Car paddock was kept covered up for an official unveil later on, sadly with the rain coming in during the afternoon I didn’t get to capture an image of it without the cover … underneath should have been a bright white Lamborghini Aventador LP720-4 Roadster … but I never got to see it unfortunately.

Still some other amazing Bulls were on display, like a pristine looking Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition in the classic red paint and an intimidating matte black Aventador LP700-4 showing a stunning BiColore interior with black and red leather … a very nice combination that probably could only be topped by the appearance of a bright Verde Ithaca Aventador complete with glossy black roof section.

A magnificent Aventador LP700-4 Roadster finished in Grigio Estoque came all the way from Belgium together with a silver metallic Gallardo Spyder, the latter showing a stupendously beautiful red leather interior. Another Gallardo Spyder, this time finished in orange metallic showed a German license plate while a similar Arancio shade was found on the impressive Murciélago LP670-4 Super Veloce parked on the paddock … still an extreme car even if it was succeeded by the new Aventador.

Star of the event might well have been the arrival of the white Lamborghini Huracan LP610, the dealer demonstrator car for Pon in the Netherlands, we’ve seen this car on a pedestal during the Viva Italia event a few weeks earlier, but actually seeing it driving is another thing altogether … the rear view with those amazing exhausts still captures my attention.

For car enthusiasts like ourselves the combination of National Oldtimer Festival and Super Car Sunday worked out perfectly … some amazing classic cars and awesome exotics all together during one event … sometimes a but crowded because so many cars showed up, but big fun nonetheless.

Remember we are talking about the 50th Anniversary of Automobili Lamborghini SpA, and with celebrations all over the world the Lamborghini Club Nederland and Lamborghini Leusden, the official factory authorized dealer decided to add another celebration event to the list … during this festival in Zandvoort.

In fact there were so many entries by Lamborghini owners and Lamborghini Leusden the organizers had to move the Lamborghini section from their regular position just next to the entry at Zandvoort to the main paddock … where a large area was reserved for cars made in Sant’Agata, and it is safe to say these super cars drew a crowd all day long, despite the rather sad looking weather at first, but fortunately the sun did come out in the afternoon and they were able to stay away from too much rain.

One of the highlights on the Lamborghini Leusden stand was the beautiful white Aventador LP700-4 Roadster … for the first time shown to the public in the Netherlands, safe to say once the roof panels were removed and doors kept open this car alone was admired by everyone that visited the festival.

Around this V12 Roadster you could admire several other recent models from the V10 range, a white with orange Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera Edizione Tecnica and its counterpart in matte black, clearly showing the totally different impression the same car can give in another shade. However I guess that bright red Gallardo Performante wasn’t shy of attention either, the shade alone will draw your eye to her … and she sure was a beauty.

Pon also displayed a model from the latest facelift evolution, the Gallardo LP560-4 with the new front and rear segments … finished in a very special looking Grigio Telesto … keep in mind Pon Exlusive Cars also offers other high end automobiles, so you’ll find two units of the limited edition Porsche Carrera GT in the background and a brand new Bentley.

Now you might think ‘wasn’t this an oldtimer festival?’ … sure it was, and the classic Raging Bulls were present on the Lamborghini Club Nederland stand … remember a car is officially an oldtimer over here when she reaches 25 years of age … this means everything up to the 1988 Countach 25th Anniversary is considered to be an oldtimer.

First let me give you the bad news … there was no Miura at the festival, you can’t win them all, but there were some pretty amazing cars present like the black 400GT 2+2 that participated in the 50th Anniversary Grand Tour in Italy … she still wears the starting number with pride, from the same owner a special Countach Quattrovalvole with carbon fiber rear wing was also present … and it is considered an oldtimer by now just like the pristine, showroom fresh 25th Anniversary in red that arrived a little late to the party, but still managed to impress all those around when the owner had to back her into a slot … sitting on the sill looking back.

Two other classics as I would prefer calling them were a great looking light blue metallic Islero S edition and blue Jarama … also in S trim. But the Jarama had a little surprise in stock … this classic, unrestored beauty didn’t have the regular 4-Liter V12 engine … instead a massive 4.7 liter Countach derived unit was installed making this blue GT a one of a kind Lamborghini … and the owner sure enjoys every minute behind the steering wheel of this original Raging Bull Grand Turismo.

And that Jarama wasn’t the only rare car on the paddock at the Lamborghini Club Nederland stand, a very nice silver metallic Lamborghini Diablo was also present … well two in fact, but one of them was a 1999 edition … you know with the fixed headlights … but this VT model also had the Roadster wheels and the special side sills, rear wing and engine cover from the extremely rare Diablo SE30 installed … in fact every Diablo VT ordered for the United States back in 1999 came like this, but on the European market these items were an expensive option … just like the blue and grey Alcantara interior … even the steering wheel was covered in blue Alcantara, making this another one of a kind Lamborghini at the festival.

The second Diablo was an earlier two-wheel drive model, but it still had the lower dashboard mounted from 1993 on installed … and despite being almost 20 years old she still looked amazing and drew a lot of attention … sometimes even more than the quartet of Gallardos that joined the festivities, two black V10, a bright yellow one and a special dark red metallic Spyder edition.

The most recent car on the Lamborghini Club Nederland stand was a yellow over black Murciélago Roadster, the black wheels offering a stunning contrast to the bright paintwork of the car, and being a first edition Murciélago Roadster it has become rather rare on the road … several of these have either been tuned by their owners, been crashed … or have been turned into a more recent LP640 lookalike, so seeing one like this, in the condition she was sure amazed many people at Zandvoort.

As usual these events aren’t static, so several of these Raging Bulls would do a stint on the famous Zandvoort track in the afternoon, accompanied by other super cars and classics these Lamborghini sure put down a spectacle … the thundering red Countach Quattrovalvole managed some serious fast laps as its owner holds a race driver license, but that didn’t hold back the other Bulls on the track in any way.

The 2013 Nationaal Oldtimer Festival in Zandvoort was once again a very, very nice event which as a Lamborghini enthusiast you just couldn’t afford to miss…

Too bad the weather forecast wasn’t too bright this Sunday, still hundreds of cars made the trip to Zandvoort to have spin on the track or just to display their pride and joy to fellow enthusiasts.

But this wasn’t a static show, during the day there were several ‘Show blocks’ that would see large numbers if cars on the track at moderate speeds, this wasn’t about reaching high speeds in your classic car, this was an event to have fun while driving your car on an enclosed track with like minded owners.

These days there are several Lamborghini models considered to be ‘oldtimers’, from the moment your car is older than 25 years it’s an oldtimer in these regions, so it’s safe to say that several Raging Bulls came to Zandvoort to join the Lamborghini Club Nederland team.

A bit unfortunate that there weren’t more classic Bulls in Zandvoort today, however we could still enjoy the amazing black 400 GT 2+2 on the stand, the owner also brought along his red Countach Quattrovalvole which he now fitted with a really nice Carbon Fiber rear wing, a nice touch on this by now legendary model from Sant’Agata.

One of the attention grabbers on the Lamborghini paddock was a bright yellow Miura, a very beautiful car and considered by many to be the most sensual looking Bull ever made, I’ve been talking to the owner and he is getting the car restored from the ground up towards the end of the year, can’t wait to meet him again during the 2009 season.

Other Raging Bulls in Zandvoort were a couple of amazing looking Countach LP5000 S, one finished in white while the second one showed a stunning dark red metallic bodywork over an amazing gray leather upholstery, a very nice combination, especially with the gun metal gray wheels.

A more modern touch was present in the form of a bright yellow Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0, a similar color Murciélago and a stunning, green Gallardo Spyder. Safe to say that nobody had any problem with the fact these weren’t ‘oldtimers’, such exotic cars deserve their place at any event, finally an early silver metallic Diablo complete with rear wing and another pre-1993 Diablo finished in blue metallic over a white interior completed the Lamborghini presence at Zandvoort.

Naturally the Bulls would ‘Rage’ on the track during the day, however several were pulled from off the circuit because they were too loud, apparently the V12’s made a bit too much noise compared to the older 4 and 6 cylinder cars around, these days the sound regulations around tracks in the Netherlands are very strict unfortunately.

All in all it was still big fun, as an enthusiast there were many different cars that made it worth the rather long drive up to Zandvoort, too bad it started raining during the final session on the track, but that didn’t stop the drivers from their drive on the circuit.

Sure hope they will organize this event again next year, I’ll be there, looking forward to even more classic Bulls.
