Little Tony’s Lamborghini Miura P400 Sings Again



Lamborghini Polo Storico continues their restoration work with an Azzurro Mexico color Miura.
This particular car was once owned by Italian musician and actor Antonio “Little Tony” Ciacci.
The restored Miura was part of the Concorso d’Eleganza of Villa d?Este on the shores of Lake Como.

Lamborghini is really digging into its history these days. Their in-house restoration shop, Lamborghini Polo Storico, is fresh off restoring the Miura seen getting crushed by a bulldozer in the movie The Italian Job. Now the firm from Sant?Agata Bolognese has just finished up another Miura rebuild, this time for a car that used to belong to a guy named Little Tony.
What’s In A Name
No, Little Tony is not a guy from the Mafia. The nickname fooled me too. No, in this case we are talking about one Antonio Ciacci, pop singer and actor, who rose to stardom in England somehow in the 1950s and ’60s. Ciacci was the lead singer of Little Tony & His Brothers (no, really), later returning to Italy where he kept singing; but went full Elvis by also becoming a successful film actor. (He was described as the Italian Elvis). Although he bears a certain resemblance to Jack Lord, he actually patterned is early career after Little Richard, hence the name. Little Tony’s first #1 hit in Italy was Il ragazzo col ciuffo in 1962. He would later appear in over 20 movies in Italy, and become a central figure in the musicarelli film genre.
