Question

Do the headlights on the Lamborghini Miura (Top Gear last night) pop-up a la Porsche 928?

Cool

No. They are Italian, they come up one at a time, when they feel like it

LMAO @ CrisPDuck!
and yes they do pop up from time to time, apparently it makes them even more unstable at speed, the Mirura is one of my all time favorite cars but it was desiigned pre wind tunnel and is a bit lively at speed.

One hell of a car and sooooooo sexy!

Yes they do.

We once had four of them in our workshops at the same time!

They were pretty negative - yes it has flaws, but front end lift is only at silly speeds, they can catch fire. They're not too cramped inside, they look wonderful and sound fantastic.

ROTFL CrisPDucck and Paul Habgood.

So true! Even better though on the Maserati Bora they have a tendency to disappear (one by one) back into the bodywork if the High Pressure Hydraulic pressure drops. And assuming they are very likely to be the same round light units in both cars they are about as much use for lighting your way as a pair of candles. I tend to drive around with main beam on just so I can see where I am going and no one even flashes!! It also gets a little light at the front at speed, high speed bowls can be most entertaining lol.

Both great cars, both flawed, but none the worse for it
