Maxichamps' 1:43 diecast Lamborghini Miura P400 in orange reproduces the 1966 mid-engined V12 supercar at around 10cm long. The body is a fixed one-piece casting, so the low, curved Bertone-styled shell, the stance and the depth of the orange finish carry the model. A small-scale way to own the car that set the template for the modern supercar.
About the Lamborghini Miura P400 Orange Maxichamps 1:43
TL;DR: The Maxichamps Lamborghini Miura P400 1:43 is an orange diecast model of the 1966 mid-engined V12 supercar, cast as a fixed one-piece body. Around 10cm long, it centres on the low Bertone-styled shell, stance and finish, and anchors a 1960s supercar shelf at an accessible small scale.
The Miura put a V12 sideways behind the seats and wrapped it in a body low enough to look unreal. Maxichamps reproduces the P400 in orange at 1:43, a compact version of a car most collectors will only ever see in miniature. It is a small model with a large reputation to live up to.

Low Lines and a Sealed Shell
The Miura's shape is a sequence of tight, low curves, and a fixed one-piece casting is the right way to carry them. Nothing on this model opens, so the surface stays continuous from the nose to the tail, and the shut lines can sit as fine grooves rather than widened gaps. The result is a body that reads as a single sculpted form, which is how the original was meant to look. Lift it and the diecast weight is obvious for a model around 10cm long, a reassuring density for something so low and compact.
Orange Paint and What It Reveals
Orange is a demanding colour on a curved body. It looks warm and saturated under a lamp, but it shows thin coverage at panel edges and any waviness along the wing tops. Judge the paint where the surface curves fastest: over the front wings and along the shoulder line behind the cabin. A deep, even coat that carries a highlight cleanly across those curves is the sign of careful finishing. Orange also stays visible at a distance, so the model holds its own on a shelf of darker cars.
Transverse V12 and Bertone Lines
A Layout That Reset the Supercar
The P400 launched in 1966 with its V12 mounted transversely behind the cabin, a mid-engined layout that gave the car its low nose and compact tail. That arrangement became the template that later supercars followed, which is why the Miura sits at the start of so many collecting timelines. Bertone styled the body, and Marcello Gandini is widely credited with the shape. For a collector, the value of the story is simple: the model shows the proportions that defined an entire class of car.
The Details Worth Checking at 1:43
The Miura's signature is the lash-like surround on each headlamp, and at 1:43 it is the first detail to check. It should read as a distinct raised shape, not a smudge. Then look at the roofline, the glass area and the stance on the wheels: the car's low look depends on the gap above the tyre being small and even. Check that the wheels sit squarely in the arches and that the badges are legible under a magnifier. These are the points that separate a careful small-scale casting from a careless one.
An Anchor for a 1960s Supercar Row
At around 10cm the Miura takes little room, so it can sit at the head of a 1960s supercar row without demanding a cabinet to itself. Its orange finish stands out against silver and darker pieces, and its shape gives a shelf an obvious starting point for later mid-engined cars. The diecast body is sturdy enough for regular handling, and the fixed shell keeps the surface unbroken. British buyers who value provenance should keep the original box. For anyone planning to buy a Lamborghini Miura P400 in 1:43 diecast, this orange car is a compact, durable way to own the shape. Keep it out of direct sun and dust it with a soft brush.
