Lamborghini's Polo Storico Restores 1972 Miura SV to Original Spec
Polo Storico, Lamborghini's dedicated heritage division, dedicated three years to restoring a 1972 Miura SV to its original condition. This restoration was showcased at the first Anantara Concorso Roma. The team focused on rectifying non-original components, such as the front fender grilles, rear louvres, and Bob-Type exhaust tips. A significant challenge was replicating the hand-painted Luci del Bosco finish to meet precise color specifications. Inside, the car boasts Senape (mustard) leather, a vintage steering wheel, and an extended handbrake. The Miura SV, regarded as the pinnacle of supercars, was initially equipped with a 3.9-liter V-12 engine producing 385 hp. This unique restoration's cost remains undisclosed, though a well-preserved Miura can command millions; a 1972 SV fetched $6.605 million at auction in March.
