Iconic filmbil disappeared in 50 years: Now is Lamborghinien found

In the opening scene in the film 'The Italian Job' from 1969 whiz an orange and white Lamborghini Miura through the Italian alps at the Saint Bernhardpasset. In a tunnel running 'the world's first supercar' wrong and explodes. Finally in the scene pushing a bulldozer the smashed Lamborghini in addition to a klippeskråning.

But the car that was pushed over the edge, was in fact not a fully functional Miura. Instead, there was talk about a copy, which was already smashed in a traffic accident, and that the filmmakers had been acquired in order to use the wreckage to the scene. Both because it was too expensive to smash a genuine Miura, and because the filmmakers probably would not be allowed, as it was one of the most sought after car models.

The car, which ræsede around alpevejene, and which are therefore not ended its days at the bottom of the klippeskråningen, since movie formation in 1969 has been one of the most wanted filmbiler. Collectors and enthusiasts have spent many resources and hours to find just the car with chassis number 3586, as the actor Rossano Brazzi drove on St. Bernhardpasset. But the tracks have been blind, contradictory, and sometimes false.

Now filmbilen, however, found, and Lamborghini has certified that it is the real car from the movie. It informs the Lamborghini in a press release.
