Lamborghini's 350 GT Chassis No. 2 and a 2026 Miura Tour Define Polo Storico's Next Decade
At Auto e Moto d'Epoca in Bologna, the heritage department pairs its oldest surviving production car with the promise of an exclusive anniversary driving experience.
Lamborghini staged a double act at Auto e Moto d'Epoca, placing the car that started everything beside the promise of an exclusive driving tour built around the car that made the world pay attention.
Chassis no. 2 at the Bologna show
The 350 GT chassis no. 2 is the oldest surviving Lamborghini production car and is currently undergoing Polo Storico's official authenticity certification process.
Classic Lamborghinis driven, not stored
Polo Storico produces original-specification spare parts owners can order through authorized dealers, and Pirelli collaborates on reconstructing period-correct tires for historic models that are actually driven.
A Miura on the kind of route the 2026 tour could follow
Lamborghini confirmed a Polo Storico Tour for 2026 to celebrate the Miura's 60th anniversary, though routes, participant limits, and eligibility criteria have not yet been announced.
Carrozzeria Touring's Superleggera construction on the 350 GT
Carrozzeria Touring built the 350 GT body using its Superleggera lightweight tubular-frame technique, giving the car a sophistication its Maranello rivals respected.
A Polo Storico heritage gathering
Keeping the naturally aspirated heritage alive through curated events is both commercially shrewd for a brand whose modern lineup now includes hybrid V12s and twin-turbo V8s, and genuinely welcome for enthusiasts.
The factory's invitation to collectors
Lamborghini's message to collectors and prospective buyers is unmistakable: the factory wants classic cars in its orbit, and it plans to reward that loyalty with experiences no independent restorer can replicate.
Ferruccio Lamborghini's opening argument against Ferrari
The 350 GT debuted at the 1964 Geneva Motor Show as a refined grand tourer powered by a 3.5-liter V12 originally designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and adapted for production by Paolo Stanzani.
A 1963 technical drawing from Lamborghini's oldest archived document
Polo Storico, established in 2015 at Sant'Agata Bolognese, operates across four pillars: archive management, certification, restoration, and original spare parts supply.
Certification as a gateway to heritage events
Chassis no. 2 undergoing certification at the same moment the Miura tour is announced may not be coincidental, as Lamborghini could be positioning factory certification as a prerequisite for future heritage events.
Polo Storico's second decade begins on the road
Polo Storico spent its first decade building credibility as a restoration and certification authority, and its second decade will be about converting that authority into driving experiences that bind classic owners more closely to Sant'Agata Bolognese.
