FOUND: Lamborghini Miura used in the original Italian Job

[250 Testa Rossa]

Came across this article regarding the Lamborghini Miura from The Italian Job. Glad to hear that the car is still around. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3005972/The-Italian-rescue-job-Iconic-Lamborghini-classic-film-46-years-no-mafia-DIDN-T-throw-cliff.html

The one already wrecked belonged to some sultan or such who died in it...

That's really cool

Note that the Mail on Sunday absolutely fails to credit the origin of the story, an article in this month's Octane magazine. "The Mail on Sunday can reveal...?" Nope, the Mail on Sunday can steal...

bestest,

Sounds like a typical tabloid behavior that.

I have no use for exotic cars... no interest at all in things like Ferrari's... but somehow I always loved the Miura. It could have been the movie, but I suspect it was the Matchbox car!

For me it was definitely the Matchbox car, and then I saw a real one in lime greenyyellow and that sealed it!

In my case it was this one! I did the Testors modifications when I was 11. The roof became black because it got scratched, repaired by Testors Lumpy Black! And it's in my display case today, I wouldn't change a thing!
