One critical error, Hazel Chapman knows why husband Colin chose the name 'Lotus' but being as she hasn't yet, it's unlikely she ever will reveal the answer. If Clive knows, he's not talking either, and likely won't until his after mother's death.
One critical omission, Ferruccio Lamborghini's sign of the Zodiac was Taurus, hence the fascination with bulls. After a tiff with Enzo Ferrari over a clutch gone bad in Ferruccio's own Ferrari, he started his own car company and swore to drive Ferrari out of business. In the arena, the horse is easy prey for the charging bull so Ferruccio thought the symbolism was apropos. A great many of his cars were/are named for breeds of Spanish bulls bred specifically for the ring or for a single famous fighting bull.
Ferrari's prancing stallion was adapted from the nose art of an Italian nobleman and WWI fighter pilot.
The Dodge car company's original logo was a Star of David, but none of the Dodge brothers were Jewish.
