The Lamborghini Miura, first presented in 1966, is a milestone in the history of sports cars. With its 3.9-liter V12 engine and an output of around 350 hp, the Miura was a pioneer of the mid-engine layout, which gave it exceptional agility. The brand’s third passenger car model, the P400 variant, was built a total of 474 times.
A rear for all occasions
Typical of the design of the supercar at the time was the rear section, which was designed as a continuous component. Accident repairs were correspondingly challenging. After dismantling the rear including the tailgate, the damaged area could be stripped of paint so that all of the damage was visible.
The restoration
First of all, the rear area was reshaped as well as possible. However, part of the rear was too badly deformed to be restored to its original state. This area was cut out and remade by us from aluminum. We only the parts had the cut outs to use as a template for the new production.
Finish before painting
The newly manufactured rear panel was welded to the existing area. The surface was then aligned so that no filler was required for the subsequent painting. Before delivery to the painter, the rear of the vehicle was fitted on a trial basis. Any deviating gap dimensions were checked and adjusted.
