Eddie Van Halen Lamborghini Miura First Drive in Italian Alps! - Ep. 19
Eddie Van Halen's Lamborghini Miura is famous for its use in Van Halen's Panama song. We were lucky enough to be able to purchase the car from him several years ago and collaborated with Lamborghini Polo Storico to fully restore it in honor of Eddie's specifications. In September we traveled to the factory and took delivery of this 4-year project in the best way possible. The Van Halen Miura joined 26 other vintage Lamborghinis for a Lamborghini 60th Anniversary rally around northern Italy, then back down through the Italian countryside to the Lamborghini factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese. This was an extremely emotional reunion as I was able to finally meet Ingrid, who was Ferruccio Lamborghini's personal assistant, and who also served as my father's point of contact for many years to buy parts and visit the factory. Extremely grateful, and extremely emotional!

I haven't cried in years from other peoples interactions. I CRIED!!
The truth is that I was moved and cried with emotion to see you and think about everything your father taught you, the passion for Lamborghini and never stop pursuing your dreams.

I also remember phoning the factory as a teenager and speaking with Ingrid. She was kind enough to send me the first Lamborghini brochures that started my collection. What a privilege you had to meet her in person and bring your experience full circle.
Ingrid was the most special part of this production. What a touching story your farther has had. I’d love to see and hear more of him and his car’s and the Van Halen when it’s back please. I’m local to Iain Tyrrell in the uk and truly enjoy both your channels especially the Miura content. Thanks

We'll definitely be doing some more videos with my dad in the future! Would love to also go out and visit Mr. Tyrrell as well
Cars are cars. Yes they are all beautiful but when you see Ingrid that's when it hits you that it is the people behind the scenes that make all the beauty and passion really happen. If you don't tear up watching her, you aren't passionate enough about cars and their history. She is a legend!

This was one of the best Curated Videos I have ever seen. The passion and emotion was just fantastic. John, you have a special gift of story telling. The Miura could never look better than it does right now. EVH is looking down upon you and your team with a huge grin. The phone call with Ingrid and your dad was gold!! I teared up and I don't personally know any of you. Beautiful moment between 2 old friends. All the Best and Thank You!

Ingrid is the type of person legends are made of. What an amazing woman. She must have so many cool stories. The fact she sent brochures signed to John is beautiful. Congrats John and Curated team.
The phone call with your father was some of the best stuff I have seen on KZread in a very long while. I felt the love and appreciation those two have for each other over all the years.
That moment with Ingrid was incredible. Fantastic video. One of the best yet John.

Wow, absolutely amazing John, honestly I've always thought of myself as a massive Petrolhead, but the knowledge of cars the Team at Curated has is a real reflection of your Passion and infinite knowledge and goes well beyond my own I have been a fan for years and loved your dad's movie, as you said things have come full circle and your Lamborghini story as shown in this video is incredible and beautiful, Curated is the best Automotive channel ever and I for one appreciate everything you guys do ❤ from Ireland.
Oh my God, I never thought I’d tear up during a Lamborghini video, but the scene with Ingrid was pure and sweet that the waterworks began 🥹. Thank you for sharing that beautiful moment with us, John 🙏🏻
The best channel on KZread. This was an emotional rollercoaster. Thanks to Curated and the entire camera and editor crew, you bring joy to my heart. This is an example of what quality content is all about.
The first time we went to Bologna we learned it is considered the "foodie capital of Italy." So if you love Lamborghinis and you love food it is definitely the destination to put on your bucket list. It never disappoints

John, Ive gotta say I thouroughly dislike Supercars/Exotics but I watch every single one of your videos purely because of your Passion for them and the lengths you go to do do them RIGHT. Im not an emotional guy but with that Phone call with Ingrid and your Dad really got to me. "Im not crying, you're crying" PERSONIFIED I lost my Father unexpectedly a few years ago and Cars were our thing, this struck right to the heart. What an amazing experience, thank you for showing us something so beautiful and personal to you and your Family Big Love from Australia
This video is what car passion is all about : beautiful cars, incredible engineering, and the pleasure to experience them in first person and letting other experience them as well. Sometimes it is difficult to explain what really passion for cars is all about because someone can really see the attachment to a material object. At the end it is something about the soul; this testimonance is just that : what the object is able to transmit people and the emotions from that. I really see myself into John because I’m taking the passion my dad transmitted me and having some of the best experiences of my life from that. Thank you guys for sharing this experience.
As a Lamborghini fan and a big Lamborghini history nerd, I’m so jealous of all you get to do John! I hope to go some day, to events like these. Great video!
Thank you to all at Curated. These stories are why the passion of cars will never die. Seeing John's emotion during the call with Ingrid is what it's all about. Thank you for keeping iconic brands alive and telling the insanely thorough history of them all. I feel honored to be able to watch these videos❤
I love everything Lamborghini!! The people, history and passion, Lamborghini is the best!! Thank You!
I 'd like to thank you for making me feel proud of being italian 🇮🇹❤🇮🇹
The Queen of Lamborghini!
Wonderful video John! I found myself rearing up when your Dad was on the phone with Ingrid. What an amazing lady.Please make that trip back there with your Dad happen! You never know how long people will be around. I lost my father 6 years ago and trust me, you do not want to regret the things you could have done with him. Whatever you did make it happen. I’ll be waiting for the video with a box of Kleenex at the ready
Congratulations John, you made it to the top of the world. to be recognised,respected and welcomed in the family,and family is everything in Italy,is an emotion money can not buy. Priceless
It's great to see this vehicle restored. Eddie is gaining status, he's really like the Elvis in the guitar world. His whole life was centered around Southern California. Just like Elvis and Memphis.
To remain humble and down to earth a midst the all of the opulence and luxury that is Lamborghini is a true test of your character. I, as I'm sure others as well are taken back on how you are continuing to carry the torch which is your fathers legacy and making your own in such a great way. You are right. As far as content: this was as good as it gets. Congrats John. What an experience.

Thanks for the kind words Casey!
I can't tell you how happy I was to see that they've left the car red. By memory the original factory colour was green but it was red for the entirety of Eddie Van Halen's custodianship of it. Word was that it would be returned to green during the resto, so I was glad to see red paint peeking out from under the cover. Actually, the way the guy gingerly and curiously checks under the cover like he's not sure what colour it will be makes me wonder whether they left that decision to Lamborghini and it was a surprise. Anyway, I'm just glad they stayed with rock'n'roll red; Eddie would be happy.
There wasn't any more feeling in this than the scenes with Ingrid. The Miura inspired feelings of a different kind of course, renewing our opinion of it being at the top of the heap with only a handful of cars vying for the most beautiful in the world. Fun video to watch, great job.

Incredible car, incredible restoration, rock star owned, factory restored and factory delivered. Content doesn't get any better than this! John, the moment you stood infant of Ingrid and put her on the phone with your dad must have been surreal. From how involved your dad was with the factory, to you now having a similar direct connection and being able to tie it all back to your childhood through Ingrid is a feeling you cannot put a price on. I am certain that feeling is more special than the completion of any restoration project. I am genuinely happy for you! Congratulations!
For me, the best part of this entire thing is seeing the relationships with everyone, and all of it centered around a car brand. The story of this particular Miura is special enough but knowing about the people behind it really makes it unique. IMO, the cars are always what grab the attention but the relationships and connections along the way are what is really special.
Miura is perfect rock star car because it is not easy to drive... like a guitar it takes practice and some art... I'm sure Ed would be proud of his "go kart" now
Wow! Thank you for sharing this once in a lifetime experience. Just amazing. You made it feel like we were there with you. Thank you so much. Fkn amazing editing by the way too! This was filmed like a movie or documentary and it looks amazing! Submit this to the Cannes film festival. I am blown away by the quality, just blown away. This is one of the top videos I’ve ever seen on KZread. The quality is outstanding.
Bro I did not expect to cry by clicking on this video, what an absolute occasion
Curated deserves over 1M subs. The Production quality is setting the bar. John's passion for lamborghini never ceases to amaze me. I will be a customer of his one day.
I remember my first time seeing it at Curated... it's a stunning example.

John, it has been one of the most emotional contents that I could imagine to watch. The feelings that comes through the frames of the video, are a very strong and unique message of love and passion, going straight ahead to the heart. Thank you for sharing this moment with many other enthusiasts of this epic brand ❤
Congratulations Curated. This might be your pinnacle episode! I had two take aways watching this... First of all, I always thought Jon was a good guy, a passionate guy, but when he called his dad and reunited him with Miss Ingrid, I realized Jon is an OUSTANDING GUY!! Jon's tears got me! At that moment I knew, for Jon its just as much about the people and the journey as it is about the cars. ❤ Secondly, the way Lamborghini handled the unveiling of the Miura, the way they treat people in general tells me its a company run by people passionate for their brand. You can tell they are petrolheads first and business people second. ❤ And in the automotive industry thats important. I could name for you atleast three brands right now that I feel have no soul anymore because there is no passion at the top. Its just business to them and it shows. I may never be able to afford to own a Lamborghini and Im ok with that. Just knowing experiences like this are being had by good people like Jon and his team in this day and age of misery brings comfort to the idea that there is still some light in this world. Its very obvious to me that Lamborghini has plenty of Soul! Thank you for sharing. 💪💪💪

People want idiotic stunts and crazy builds, the complete opposite of what they do. Most people don’t get the effort and time involved to acquire most of the cars Curated has let alone the time to restore them so they don’t get what this channel and company is about. It’s one of my fav channels, I grew up learning about “classic” European cars so seeing Curated’s content is a highlight for me when they make content.
Excellent video, would loved to see a few more seconds on each car filmed there's just so many beautiful cars.
Amazing video. Congratulations on your success.

Sweet old Ingrid. That's the heart and soul of a company right there, probably as structural to Lamborghini as Ferrucio. She should be as iconic as Balboni.
What a beautiful video! Thank you for sharing
I think Eddie would get a real kick seeing his car restored at the factory. He owned that car since the early 80s when Valerie Bertinelli bought it for him and he drove it regularly the entire time he owned it. Such a beautiful car with a beautiful history.
Absolutely beautiful story telling. The phone call with your father was perfect.
This video is amazing and should definitely be shared with everyone. This shows the dedication and passion Lamborghini has with their clients. John this is your calling. Blessings

Fantastic video Mr , much respect , i love Lamborghini , the Van halen miura is gorgeous , and the Miura jota , omg ,thanks for posting this , i need a 79 countach 400s so bad lol
The passion, love & dedication to Lamborghini has paid off for your family John. Hope this bond stays with the next generation of owners / managers of Lamborghini. It's not always the checkbook that counts. Sad to say that other Italian brand seems to think that's the only important thing! Lamborghini for Life!
Wow.. that is a beautiful video. Thank you.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing your families personal side.
So blown away by possibly the best automotive video I've ever seen- I'm serious John what you and your team are doing is nothing short of amazing! Not in the Lamborghini tax bracket (have a 77' Pinifarina designed Lancia Scorpion with aftermarket magnesium wheels) but dream of possibly getting a classic Lambo someday. All these incredibly well edited and impromptu sermons (what else can you call them at this point) keeps the fire going-Molto Grazie!
Best automotive content on KZread right now 👏
I love lamborghini's, this shows their love for vehicles but also family & friends. This whole video was nothing but beautiful. 👏
Masterpiece Presentation my uncle Bob worked for Ferruccio Merry Christmas John

John, you’re the most recognized and authentic brand ambassador of Lamborghini. I would not be surprised if one day you were brought on for an executive role. 🐂
