Lamborghini's Heritage Division, Polo Storico, has just unveiled a meticulously restored 1972 Miura SV at Rome's inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma. This three-year project aimed to return the car to its exact factory configuration, down to the period-correct exhaust tips and a brown exterior shade. The Miura SV, a symbol of supercar history, was always the definitive model, boasting a wider rear bodywork, revised suspension, a stronger chassis, and a tuned version of the transverse 3.9-liter V12 engine, producing around 385 hp. This particular car, a private commission restoration, showcases the pinnacle of Lamborghini's restoration expertise. The restoration process involved a meticulous deconstruction and rebuild, starting from the original production sheet, ensuring every exterior element was period-correct. The interior restoration matched the exterior's rigor, reinstating air conditioning, hazard lights, and a more compact steering wheel. The Luci del Bosco brown exterior shade required deep historical research to pinpoint the correct chromatic specification for a 1972 production date. The Miura SV's unveiling at the Anantara Concorso Roma event, which focused on historic Italian marques, was a celebration of its cultural weight and the craftsmanship of Polo Storico. This restoration exemplifies the gold standard for Lamborghini certification, offering classic owners factory-backed access to original production records and period-correct materials. The Miura SV's presence at the event, alongside other historic Lamborghini cars, highlighted its enduring legacy in the supercar world.
