Divine escapism

How about calling it the Lamborghini Lidia?

We’re glad they didn’t. The story of the Lamborghini Miura is now explored and celebrated like never before in this new work

IF YOUR FIRST THOUGHT ABOUT Lamborghini Miuras is film, you’re in good company. It was the same for Simon Kidston, collector, car broker and father of this book, and now an owner. If your first thought on seeing the book is ‘this is beautiful’ then you’re in company with me, too – it is stylish and fabulously presented. The square format allows for originally. And there’s another surprise – an internal foldout bearing a vast black-and-white profile shot of chassis designer Giampaolo Dallara’s own Miura. Several more equally beautiful pop out through the book. But if there’s a negative to the design, it’s that the text is small, the captions are smaller, and the footnotes (yes, there are footnotes!) too much for my aged eyes. If you’re over 40 have your readers ready.
