'Italian Job' Lamborghini Miura Up For Sale: Video

In 1969, a film called The Italian Jobwas shown in theaters. If you're a fan of Italian sports cars, it had one of the greatest opening sequences in cinema history. That's because it featured a stunning Lamborghini Miura winding is way up a mountain pass. It's a beautiful car, beautifully shot, in a beautiful location. The scene does come to an abrupt end, however, as the car winds up destroyed due to a nefariously placed piece of heavy machinery.

Don't worry, though, as the filmmakers weren't daft enough to destroy an actual Miura. Wait? They were?! Okay, I take that back. The car you see destroyed in the above clip is an actual Miura. However, it's one that had been in an accident and it was in rough shape. If you watch the clip closely, you'll see that there's no engine present when they toss it off the cliff.
