 DESCRIPTION

This is the car that kicked-off the mid-engine exotics. The Miura is the most desirable Lamborghini and the best looking. This was a big winner for Matchbox. The regular wheel Miura was produced for only one year and has a visable transverse V12 while the Superfast versions continued until 1972 and have no visable engine. The copper colored version is the rarer of the Superfast Miuras.
