Cars on the big screen: Lamborghini Miura P400 in The Italian Job

Rarely has a film's opening sequence captured the total attention of car enthusiasts as much as The Italian Job from 1969. In a beautiful alpine setting, we see an orange sports car elegantly navigating winding mountain roads.
Behind the wheel sits a well-dressed gentleman in a light blue shirt and black tie. His collar is casually unbuttoned, shirt sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and a slim cigarette rests nonchalantly in his mouth. With a determined gaze and firm hand, he manoeuvres one of the most revolutionary models in the sports car world. The location is the San Bernardino Pass in Switzerland, the man is actor Rossano Brazzi, and the car is Lamborghini’s outstanding Miura.

A total of 762 units were produced across three different models between 1966 and 1973. The Miura from The Italian Job, in the colour Arancio Miura, was lost for 50 years but was rediscovered in 2019 and certified and restored by the factory the same year. In the film, the car meets a grim fate as it explodes in a tunnel and is later pushed off a steep cliff. Fortunately, this was a previously crashed Miura that the factory had provided for the film production—and lucky it was, considering today's average price of around 2 million euros.
Well-known Miura owners included connoisseurs like Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, and the Shah of Iran.
