I hadn't heard of, or seen, this movie about Ferruccio Lamborghini. Rotten Tomatoes seems to hate it... 6% was the sum total of reviews, Elana say's it's a mess too
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lamborghini_the_man_behind_the_legend
Matt Farah said: "lazy and inaccurate and made no sense historically and wasn’t cast well. Just every element of moviemaking was at a two. It's rare when you see a movie where every single possible choice is wrong. It was just a very sad kind of terrible."
Elana Scherr said "Stunningly boring"
One of that movies producers says there will be a movie about Enzo, with Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/interview-with-an-italian-movie-producer-true-stories-are-the-best-stories-214737.html
and about 2 years after that, "Maserati: A Racing Life," a biopic feature of the Maserati brothers.

Enzo was gifted a Mini by Sir Alec Issigonis (designer of the mini) and he is said to have like the Mini in winter driving specifically. (thanks Steve!)
above posted in 2010, below, Steve sent me today
Alec Issigonis is famously known as the genius behind the Mini. Its compact dimensions, front-drive layout and cute face made it a hit among buyers in the low-cost segment. It also struck a chord with Mr. Ferrari, and he and Alec became mutual admirers. Enzo drove a Mini Cooper with some custom lights that was apparently a gift from Issigonis himself. He especially preferred it in the winter for its superior front-drive traction.

Enzo Ferrari at the launch of his 1969 endurance contender the 312P…
Motorsports governing body introduced new sports car rules for 1968; Group 6 Prototypes with a maximum of 3 litres. In effect the CSI were making obsolete the ‘unlimited cars’ the 7 litre ‘pushrod’ Ford MkIV being built by Ford and the 4 litre ‘racing engine’ Ferrari P4Ferrari, which they considered too fast for the race tracks of the time.
Ferrari, in time honored fashion didn’t race in 1968 in protest at this sudden rule change but returned in 1969 with the Group 6 312P

the Grand Prix photobomber!
the guy on the far left? pretending to be interested in the hood scoop... is simply jumping into a photo of Enzo and Phil Hill, pretty clever huh!
From Denise McCluggage's article on Hagerty.com http://www.hagerty.com/articles-videos/Articles/2014/07/08/Grand-Prix-Photobomber
Bernard Cahier was the go-to guy who knew everybody on the scene and behind it. People with cameras might be clicking away, and Bernard would maneuver to join not the photographers but the group being photographed.
Over time, I noticed other instances and decided Bernard was the most photographed photographer in racing.
both of these are at the 1960 French Gran Prix
He was also the guy who became famous for handing Stirling Moss a coke, on a hairpin turn
Stirling Moss takes a Coke at the Hairpin Turn at Sebring in 1957. Moss had seen some of the photographers at the Hairpin the lap before drinking Cokes so he gave them the classic thirsty sign (pretending to bring a bottle to his lips) as he drove by.
Cahier grabbed a Coke bottle, opened it, and waited for Moss to come around again. As he did, Cahier handed the bottle to Moss. He drank it during the lap, then promptly deposited it in the grass at the hairpin on the next lap and gave them a wave as thanks. Image by Smith Peter Kerr.

Great article about this moment on http://vintagemotorsport.com/2020/04/moss-coke-bottle-incident/
https://revslib.stanford.edu
It turns out, he was a car salesman at a dealership owned by Phil Hill, and French by birth but American by adoption when he married a Californian

here Cahier passes a bottle of water to Harry Schell
