The Reunion: 1973-2013

- He's been the public face of Lamborghini, at least to many of their visiting clients and journalists, for decades through good times and bad. The factory even named a car after him, and he's still doing what he does best: test driving Lamborghinis. His name is Valentino Balboni and on 5th September 2013 he celebrates the 40th anniversary of his first ever official test drive.
There's another man who is less well-known in motoring circles but his family name adorned hundreds of thousands of vehicles in post-war Italy, from Lambretta scooters to Minis built under licence. For his own transport Gianfranco Innocenti's father consented to gift him something rather less humble, and as chance would have it, it was that very same car which, on that morning 40 years ago, the young Valentino Balboni drove out the factory gate for the first time.
The Lamborghini factory employees who built the car are now old men, but over the past 18 months they have carefully preserved it for the next generation. The night before it was shipped to Pebble Beach to be shown at this year's concours d'elegance, we thought the time was right to reunite Signor Innocenti with the car he hasn't seen since he traded it for a new Countach at the end of 1973. And who better to deliver it to him than...

Solo l umiltà di un grande uomo come Balboni poteva accordare il battito di una MIURA nera,ti voglio bene Valentino.
Video molto emozionante, da"pelle d'oca"! Valentino Balboni e la Miura sono 2 leggende della storia dell'automobile, con una di queste sportive di Sant'Agata bolognese, di colore giallo, è nata la mia passione per l'auto, fin da quando avevo la tenera età di 4 anni ed iniziarono i miei primi ricordi, posso immaginare l'emozione del sig. Innocenti nel rivedere, dopo 40 anni, il suo primo bolide a 4 ruote, chissà quanti ricordi di una spensierata giovinezza... 🤔❤️🏁.
Trop beau!💘
For a moment I thought I saw 40 years of time swept away from both of these men's faces .
pelle d'oca, incredibile il rapporto che si instaura tra un uomo e la sua auto di quando era giovane
So well done.. I bet I've watched this 20 times, every time I still get emotional... (Why can't I have a Miura???)...
Art is the realization, the delivery, of prayers.
ho la pelle d'oca ragazzi.. ho lo stesso rapporto anche io con le auto che ho avuto
That's beauty....an astonishing mix of
sheere power and perfect proportions.
Awesome Gandini style for Bertone coachmaker.
I love this video, seriously, I love it. Probably i buy an exemplar of GT Spirit Miura S resin model in 1:12 scale after enjoy this video footage. Really emotive. And now i'm an owner of mini-miura. Thanks KIDSTON for this jewell

Hi, I work for Kidston SA and I do not see much credit to our company. You should at least write that the copyright is ours and link our website in the description
Lamborghini's Miura....a truly beautiful car....did Valentino catch the bus home?
Mamma mia, bella macchina. .......magnifique vidéo, très émouvante, superbe, merci Valentino....
Shouldn't it be the other way around.....Lamborghini presenting Valentino with his very own Lambo for a lifes work & devotion....?
Miura uguale Stradivari
Bella !
When cars had soul................
Valentino Balboni should have the right to walk in to any Lamborghini store and just drive away with any Lambo he want´s
sono commosso
È struggente. Io non riuscirei a separarmi dalle mie auto. Sono la mia vita. Forse alla mia morte. Vedremo.
Very nice video and lovely car. What´s the name of the song at 9:10? Cheers!
The first thing I would do if I won the lotto is buy me a Miura. The second thing I would do is divorce my wife. No doubt this car is a pussy magnet.
