John Scotti Automotive, owner of Lamborghini Montreal, plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary in style this year.
The timing could not be better for the company, which not only plans to sell its 1,000th Lamborghini but is also preparing to inaugurate its new state-of-the-art facility in the coming months.
“John Scotti is a key player in our dealer network in Canada. He has always taken the brand’s success to heart, and we wish to recognize with this anniversary his passion, partnership and devotion to Automobili Lamborghini,” said Andrea Baldi, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini America, in a statement.
Scotti was 16 years old when he received his Class 1 mechanic certification. He then opened his first garage and his business eventually grew to include major brands, such as Lamborghini, Lotus, Jaguar, Mitsubishi, Land Rover, Subaru, Alfa Romeo, and Volvo. “When I opened my first garage in 1975, I had no idea we’d be here fifty years later,” said Scotti in a statement.
He also founded the Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame, and has been active in the community through charitable events like the Starlight Children’s Foundation and Canada’s annual Drive for Smiles classic.
