Dashcam talks about the Miura

Named after a famous Spanish fighting Bull, the Miura was developed in record time by a young, gifted Lamborghini team. At it's 1966 Geneva launch the Miura shocked the motoring world.

Gorgeous Bertone styled bodywork coupled with the world's first mid-engined road car changed the face of what people would expect from a sports car. The supercar was born, and the Miura will go down in history as an all time classic.

A Reminder from Track Call

Track Call looks exasperated

Dashcam, what about the slot cars huh? You totally forgot to mention that the Lambo has been made by Scalextric, AutoArt, Tyco and Bauer. If we have any readers at all for this dubious exercise, you'll be scaring them all away.
