The Lamborghini Miura is one of the world’s most beautiful supercars. If, like me, you are unlikely to ever own one you can now make do with a 272 page hardback book The Lamborghini Miura Bible by Joe Sackey.
The first print run was published in November 2008, but it sold out in just a few months. The newly reprinted edition means the results of Sackey’s 20 years of research and 450 photos of the gorgeous Miura can now be yours!
More details after the jump.
MEETING THE DEMAND FOR THE MIURA
The much-acclaimed Lamborghini Miura Bible by Joe Sackey was first published by 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.
This unique book features everything the enthusiast would want, from a specially commissioned studio shoot capturing the historic homologation prototype USA Miura SV, to production statistics, specification information, paint charts, and much more. With over 400 photographs and illustrations, this is the definitive guide to an iconic supercar.

One reply on “The Gospel according to Lamborghini Miura”
I saw one of these at the Autostadt (in germany) recently, it really stood out even amongst some very special cars.
