Do we know what happened to the Miura body of the crashed car? Which number was it? Did it end up on a different chassis? Was it sold for scrap?
Bravo indead. This has to rank as one of the best discovery stories, of one of the most famous cars of all time. ALL of you associated with the discovery and incredible documentation deserve to be immensly proud
2016, when Polo Storico asked me to borrow #3586 for a shooting in the Alps with the Museo Miura and the Maestros.... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

I was looking for pics of the car much later than in the Italian Job, or at least before it was repainted in the last decade.
The car was already resprayed by Ismo Sabattini when Kidston offered it and missed the chance to sell it or to promote it as The Miura from movie "The Italian Job"... https://www.kidston.com/motorcars/2387-1968-Lamborghini-Miura-P400/ and the factory Polo Storico resprayed it one more time with my client's approuval...
Why post about Kidston missing the chance? Whoopeydoo!!! He's not the only one who's had the car for sale in the past. He's sold many many important cars in his long sales career. It seems like you guys missed the chance to paint the car the correct colour, and more than once. Does anyone have any pics before the car was repainted by Ismo Sabattini?
I missed nothing while the car was under my "control" sorry for you Steven... you're wasting time... it was restored either before or after me, better to check your allegation before writing. We know that you react always with a red flag when we mention SK, but that truth is coming from a conversation I had with your "Boss", it is clearly on his own words & confession in Retromobile 2019, next time I meet him try to be present, then you will say something accurate !
I'm guessing there was a thorough checkover and that's why 3586 did not break down on the Miura Giro 50? Why not? That's what happened. Martyn, there's something wrong with the images you're posting. The color representation is incorrect, which is misleading. I realize that there is a fascination with the original & subsequent color of 3586 - not that it changes one bit the car's amazing story of being 'the Italian Job Miura which existed unrecognized in front of everyone's noses for years', one of the all-time great automotive stories IMO (bravo yet again, Eric, Olivier et al). When you run the images you posted through our application used to ascertain the correct hue and colorization of vintage images, you can clear see that the saturation is way off, making the car appear much more red than it really was. For example: Here below is an image you posted, the next image is the true representation pf the car's color during the film, you can see that the background is also a real representation.
