The world is looking with concern and compassion towards Italy, the country to which we owe so much joie de vivre, so many happy moments and, of course, countless beloved motorcars. Our cover story today is not only a timely reminder of carefree times and a loving homage to a high point in Italian automotive history, but it also encourages us to look ahead with a positive attitude. After last year’s Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, our man Rémi Dargegen and the Italian historian and author Massimo Delbo ventured into the early morning Pacific mist with three fantastic Lamborghini Miuras: the unique SVR, Jean Todt’s SV and the P400 that starred in The Italian Job. You can take some much-needed solace in our wonderful story today.
