Lamborghini Miura SV Restoration
Sixty years on, Lamborghini Polo Storico has returned one of the final Miura SVs to the exact specification it left the factory in 1972. The Miura was the world's first mid-engine production supercar, its 3.9-liter transverse V12 producing 380 hp in SV form, and the last word in a lineage that redefined what a road car could be. Polo Storico, Lamborghini's official heritage department, spent three years on this 1972 example, working from the original production sheet to correct every detail that had drifted from spec. The octagonal center-lock hubs were restored, the period-correct "Bob-type" exhaust tips reinstated (named after legendary test driver Bob Wallace), and the front fender grilles, handle fins, and rear louvers all returned to their original configurations. The exterior "Luci del Bosco" brown paint required its own historical research to match the precise chromatic specification for the car's production year, as the shade evolved across different models over time. Inside, the "Senape" mustard interior was reconstructed alongside the air conditioning preparation, hazard lights, compact steering wheel, and extended handbrake lever. The completed car was unveiled at the Anantara Concorso Roma in April 2026, the same event attended by the certified Miura P400 that appeared in the opening scene of The Italian Job. Only 150 Miura SVs were ever built.
