#Miura

Two years ago, Lamborghini announced a special edition Aventador that paid tribute to the Miura.

We’ve all dreamt of finding a rare or ridiculous car in a barn and using it to get rich, but the truth is, it takes a certain kind of person to do the right thing with a barn find car.

Just about every supercar ever made has to thank the Lamborghini Miura for doing it all first. Now may be the perfect time for it, as the mid-engined pioneer celebrates its 50th birthday.

The MINI coupes may have stolen the accolades in 1969’s The Italian Job, but there’s no doubt the coolest scene was the opening sequence following a Miura zipping through the alps.

Lamborghini has restored an icon from its past, the first-ever Miura SV, to celebrate the car’s 50th birthday. 

Continuing the celebration of its 50th anniversary, Lamborghini’s next stop is the 2013 Techno Classica in Essen where it’ll be bringing two supercars that have made automotive history.
