Thillainathan PathmanthanDr Thillainathan Pathmanathan's fascination with Lamborghinis was spiked at the age of eight by the Marzal concept car and has never waned since. His primary interest is in the wedge-shaped, longitudinal mid-engined, spaceframe-chassised, Bizzarrini-ngined, Lamborghini flagships. He has authored the world's first stand-alone books on the KTM X-BOW and Lamborghini Murcielago, and has written books on the Countach and Diablo as well as a dodecalogy of travel inspired socio-politico-economic essays. Dr Pathmanathan boarded at Cheltenham College, then obtained his medical degree from Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, with a degree in Physiology from the University of London en-route. He trained as an eye surgeon in London, Southampton and Liverpool before undertaking a specialist Glaucoma Fellowship at the University of Toronto and was appointed a Consultant Eye Surgeon in 1999. He has nurtured Countach Chassis JLA12399, a totally factory standard Rosso Siviglia 88 1/2 5000 QV - one of only 14 such right-hand drive cars in the world – since 2001, and Murcielago Chassis 1564 - an unaltered Arancio Atlas 2005 Roadster - since 2014. His most precious automotive memories are of interviewing Paolo Stanzani, Giampaolo Dallara, Umberto Marchesi, and Marcello Gandini. Read More Read Less
