Is this a die-cast model?

Yes, AUTOart models utilize advanced die-cast and composite techniques to achieve high levels of detail.

Are the wheels functional?

Yes, the wheels can rotate and the front steering is typically linked to the steering wheel, though it should be handled gently.

What is the significance of the 2018 Polo Storico restoration?

The model is a direct tribute to the specific Miura SVR that underwent a 19-month restoration by Lamborghini's own heritage department, ensuring the highest level of authenticity.

Can I remove the engine cover entirely?

The model is designed with functional hinges; do not attempt to disassemble the parts beyond their designed articulation points.

How should I store the model long-term?

Store in a temperature-controlled environment, ideally inside an acrylic display case to prevent dust and accidental contact.

Troubleshooting

Visible dust inside the engine bay or cabin

Use a gentle air blower bulb (intended for camera lenses) to dislodge dust particles without touching the delicate parts.

Doors or panels feel stiff when opening

Do not force the parts; ensure there is no microscopic debris in the hinge mechanisms. Use extreme caution to avoid bending the metal hinges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When unboxing your AUTOart model, lift it gently from the packaging by the chassis rather than the delicate body panels. To maintain the condition of the model, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent paint fading or decal deterioration. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth for dusting. Do not use chemical cleaners, polishes, or water on the surface of the model, as these can damage the finish. If the model is not in a sealed display case, it is recommended to clean it lightly on a weekly basis to prevent dust buildup in the recessed panels and engine vents.
