The iconic supercar now wears a rich Luci del Bosco brown finish. Inside, the cabin uses tan leather sourced from Lamborghini’s own archives. The Italian Job Miura also appeared and won its class at Concorso Roma. Time has a way of softening even the sharpest automotive icons, but some designs resist that entirely. Over a three-year period, Lamborghini’s Polo Storico heritage department restored an original 1972 Miura SV, and the results are spectacular. The finished car, unveiled over the weekend at the Anantara Concorso Roma event in Italy, shows that decades on, the Miura still stands among the most beautiful cars ever created. Lamborghini says this Miura SV arrived at its headquarters at the end of 2023 “in a configuration not compliant with the original specifications.” While no images of the car before restoration have been shared, it is reasonable to assume it had seen better days.

This Miura SV Comes With 942 Miles Of Proof To return the car to its original form, Lamborghini stripped it down and refinished it in a rich shade of brown known as Luci del Bosco. Browns that genuinely suit cars are rare, but this one fits the Miura’s shape with surprising ease. The look is offset by the original wheels in a gold finish, along with matching gold-colored skirts. Lamborghini At Its Best Given that it was Lamborghini itself that worked on the car, rather than an aftermarket firm, it left no stone unturned in breathing new life into it. The grilles on the front fenders were restored, as were the louvers over the rear window. As for the interior, it too was carefully restored by the Polo Storico team and is now dominated by a shade of tan trim known as Senape. Lamborghini had to look into its archives to get the perfect shade used in 1972 for the Miura SV, noting this color has evolved over time through different Lamborghini models. Beyond the restored Miura SV, Lamborghini also entered a trio of cars in the concours. The lineup included two Countach 25th Anniversary models and the Miura P400 featured in the opening scene of The Italian Job from 1969. That particular car, restored by Polo Storico in 2019, took first place in Class XIV, which is dedicated to sports grand tourers from the 1970s.
