For many people the opening scene of the classic film The Italian Job is one of those etched in their memories. To see this stunning supercar being driven hard through the Italian Alps and then destroyed by the Mafia sets the mood for this all time great. The Lamborghini Miura was shown to the world in 1966 at the Geneva Motor Show and it was a sensation. Designed by Bertone this was the first of a new breed of supercar that re wrote the rules. With its transversely mounted quad cam V12 engine, producing 365 BHP and weighing in at around 1,300kg the performance was mind blowing for 1966! With a top speed around the 175 mph mark it was a race car for the public.
