Lamborghini Huracan crashes during Targa South Island

29 October, 2014

We didn’t quite want to believe it, but the film footage proves it’s true. Five-time event winner Tony Quinn and Naomi Tillett’s 2014 Lamborghini Huracan has come off the road and crashed. They were within sight of the finish line of the fifth of six of the day’s stages, but Quinn lost control of the Lamborghini and crashed. Neither he nor Tillett were injured, but the pair were forced to miss the sixth stage (there was also a seventh but it was cancelled due to the condition of the road) dropping them down to 13th in class and leaving a question mark over their continuing in the event. Quinn explains what caused the vehicle to come off the road in this video:

One lady owner

Well, at first glimpse, as soon as the lady opened the garage doors, I knew I was going to buy it. Dark metallic blue with two-tone blue vinyl trim, with a cream American-style steering wheel — I just could not believe my eyes! The Falcon was in as new condition as you could expect from a 30-year-old car. The owner was Mrs Iama Dzenis, aged in her late 60s, at a guess. Mrs Dzenis had bought the car new in September of 1965 from the Ford agents of North Canterbury, Palmer and Doak. Their headquarters were in Rangiora, with branches in Kaiapoi and Amberley.
