Justified Homage to the Miura

The raging (spanish) bull now fully documented.

The much-​​acclaimed Lamborghini Miura Bible by Joe Sackey was first published by specialist motoring press Veloce in November 2008. However the entire first print run was sold out in less than four months, leaving a lot of people disap­pointed. Now reprinted, the book is widely available again.

Named after a Spanish ranch famed for its ferocious bulls, the Lamborghini Miura’s flamboyance and engin­eering wowed the public when the car was unveiled in the mid-​​sixties. Yet despite its devoted following, there has been no author­it­ative public­ation on the car for over a quarter of a century…until now.

This defin­itive volume is the result of 20 years of diligent research, and Joe is deservedly now credited as being the world’s leading authority on the Miura. He makes the case that the Miura is nothing short of “The most beautiful sports car of the postwar era.” Having himself owned, maintained and restored five Miuras, he knows what he’s talking about.

The book features a specially commis­sioned studio shoot capturing the historic homolog­ation prototype USA Miura SV, to production statistics, specific­ation inform­ation, paint charts, and much more.
