    That is the best, no BS summary around of how they chose the car for the film.

    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?

    Hello Olivier, fantastic photos as usual.
    Do you have any nice and clear photos of the movie Miura next to the SV? I love seeing comparison shots!

    A last verification of #3586 at GianCarlo Breveglieri Official Lamborghini shop in Crevalcore, just before we started the factory Miura Giro 50 in 2016...

    Any pictures of the car before the number of repaints it's had in more recent years?

    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.
