The orange Miura P400 (technically 'Arancio Miura') with white/black leather interior has been the most pursued Miura in recent decades: It appears at the start of the film 'The Italian Job', driven by the actor Rossano Brazzi on the Great St Bernard Pass. In the movie plot the car is destroyed, but nobody would have really ruined what was the most desired car of the moment. In reality, Paramount also depicted an identical, crashed Miura.
The car was sent to Lamborghini's specialist historic department at its Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters, where Polo Storico's reconstruction started from documentation in the company archives and from examining the car. The results were then supplemented with testimonies from enthusiasts and former employees, such as Enzo Moruzzi, who delivered the car to the set and drove it in all the shots as a stunt double. By doing this, Polo Storico was able to find the missing evidence and certify that the Miura P400, chassis #3586, was exactly the one used to shoot 'The Italian Job'. This recognition comes at the same time as the 50th anniversary celebrations of the film, released in June 1969.
At the end of filming, and once it had returned to the factory, the Miura from the film was prepared for delivery to its first owner, an Italian from Rome. After almost 50 years, and having passed through the hands of different enthusiasts, both Italian and international, the P400 was bought in 2018 by the current Liechtenstein collector, Fritz Kaiser, who is also the Founder of 'The Classic Car Trust'.
