3.0 out of 5 stars A useful reference but not a standalone, April 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Illustrated Lamborghini buyer's guide (Paperback)

This is less of a buyer's guide and more of a complete model review of everything put out by Lamborghini. It does contain some production figure information and engine variations, but not enough to turn this into a true buyer's guide. What it does do is provide lots of pictures (B&W only) and a very short description of each model. Organiztion is rough, with some important details hidden amongst prose. With over a dozen models from Lamborghini, a single book attempting to cover them all only does a mediocre job

2.0 out of 5 stars Kinda light, May 30, 2000

An adequate overview of the marque, but the model descriptions are fairly lightweight and there's next to no analysis of problems to expect or things buyers should look for. If you're going to hunt down an out-of-print Lambo book, better to spend your time looking for the "Complete Book of Lamborghini" by Pete Lyons, which has lots more info and better pictures, too!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as current as Mr. Richard T Olsen describes it..., October 7, 2004

This review is from: Illustrated Lamborghini buyer's guide (Paperback)

A good resource for info on the earlier Lambos, but was purchased based on Olsen's review which clearly states that it covers the history including the Diablo model, which it clearly does not.

What it does cover makes for a reasonable primer on early Lambos.
