Lamborghini Polo Storico presents its latest projects at Salon Rétromobile 2018, Paris
The 1976 #lamborghini Countach LP400, chassis #1120204, is part-way through its complete restoration by #lamborghini Polo Storico. Every part of the vehicle has been disassembled and overhauled including the matching-numbers engine.
The car is now being repainted in its original yellow color using paint from manufacturer PPG, and subjected to paint tests and hand polishing before the car is reassembled. Components are replaced as necessary using #lamborghini original spare parts ensuring the car’s authenticity. Its interior in original Tabacco color is being refurbished.
The 1967 #lamborghini Miura P400, chassis #3264, represents a comprehensive ten-month restoration project carried out by #lamborghini Polo Storico. Using the original production documents for this particular car stored in #lamborghini Polo Storico’s archives, the Miura’s body in original Verde Scandal has been brought back to its original lines, along with restoration of the chassis and electrical, braking and cooling systems. The interior has been rebuilt, bringing it back to its original color. The dashboard has also been restored to its authentic color of Testa di Moro by #lamborghini Polo Storico’s specialists.
Starting in November 2016, the Miura’s restoration was finished by August 2017, when the car went on to win first prize in the Miura P400 class at the first #lamborghini & Design, Concorso d'Eleganza held in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, in September last year.
The Miura and Countach at Salon Rétromobile are just two of the latest cars currently under restoration by #lamborghini Polo Storico, alongside models including LM002, Espada, Jarama, Islero and Diablo.
