On the 60th anniversary of the release of their first single, “Love Me Do”, a Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 has taken a very special tour of London, from Abbey Road Studios to Savile Row
A Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 has made a very special tour in London, from
Abbey Road Studios to Savile Row. This journey helped define the world’s most successful band, The Beatles, to whom Lamborghini pays tribute on the 60th anniversary of the release of their first single, “Love Me Do”, presented on October 5, 1962.
The Beatles recorded nearly all of their songs on Abbey Road, including “Love Me Do,” and their last performance on the roof of their Apple Corps headquarters in
Saville RowOn January 30, 1969, a Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 in Rosso Alfa (red) with Nero (black) interior was parked downstairs. The car is featured in Get Back, the recently award-winning Beatles documentary directed by Peter Jackson.
All four members were car enthusiasts, but Sir Paul McCartney was particularly drawn to the allure of the Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2. Numerous sources suggest that
around the time the Beatles recorded their “White Album” in 1968 – it contains the immortal “Let It Be” – ending their career, McCartney owned one, despite the lack of official documentation to prove it.
The
Lamborghini 400 GT 2+2 was released in 1966, just three years after Automobili Lamborghini was founded. Although the company was still in its infancy, the 400 GT 2+2 was considered one of the best GTs on the market.
It was the perfect expression of Ferruccio Lamborghini’s original idea to create the most
fast, comfortable and beautiful, and the 2+2 configuration also made it quite handy. It was designed by Carrozzeria Touring, which at the time was one of the leading companies in terms of style and quality craftsmanship. It was equipped with a four-litre DOHC V12 engine, whose architecture is a hallmark of Automobili Lamborghini to this day.
In this latest Lamborghini video,
Dylan Jones OBEan English journalist, author and broadcaster who has interviewed Sir Paul McCartney on numerous occasions takes us on this fascinating journey, taking us back to the 1960s to explore the influence of London on the composer and the time he and the rest of the band members, so deeply formed.
“London was the place where
McCartney was inspired. It was the city that fueled his writing, his creative processes and his boundless curiosity,” Jones says. If he thought of himself as a traditionalist, the rapid changes in London’s underground culture encouraged him to explore his creativity, working with
John Lennon to create a series of musical masterpieces that remain unsurpassed.”
