    If she did not own the Miura she had a picture taken with it [note the after market wiper blades],the picture of the cars outside Alie Street was taken around 68/69. Bob never started working for Lamborghini UK until the early 70s,I got interested in the picture because of the Espadas,it was always thought no HEX dash RHD cars were built,the picture proves that wrong

    How was the car linked to the film ? Looking on line , the film is now unavailable, but someone has taken some stills, and the registration is FI 510321

    The Miura featured in the film for quite a few minutes. I saw it when it was first broadcast and don't think it was ever repeated unfortunately, as it was a good film.

    It is a shame that the full film is not available anywhere. Have just been looking. The BBC do not have it on their archive and the British Film Institute have no record either. There are just the clips on Youtube with no sound. I guess the link to the film came from a previous owner, who had the car in the UK.

    The history file is great (if you speak Swedish it would help though...). Yes it has had some mods ( plenty of fire extinguishers) , but very useable if you wanted, but as you say a solid base for a restoration if that is what you want, everything is fixable, just needs the money. But equally, if you just wanted to use it without worry of a stone chip .. Sold quickly too. Miura prices solid across the board, top cars must be big big wedge if they ever come for sale.

    Correct, imaged on the occasion of its 1997 Brooks Auction where Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage bought the car.

    I put more miles on this Miura SV Jota than he did!

    Thanks for correction, so is this the Shah Persia's SV-J ?

    It was belonging to collector Andrea before and changed recently ownership...

    Here is the period Ad of the Brooks auction sale - Geneva, march 1997 . Yes, former Shah d'Iran car, bought by actor N. Cage.
    Record sale price ever reached for a Miura at that time : sold for $497,500 USD = 3 times the estimate.

    Can someone explain why if you look at this Miura thread on Tapatalk on an iPhone it starts with a picture of an orange LP400?

    Gaetan,

    It is #3889...

    As far as I know , I've been offered by 3x different persons... the car belongs to a Swiss person, and I would suggest anyone interested in buying this Miura to inquire deeply about who will invoice it ?

    Funny, I immediately thought it could be 3889, Affolter "restored" more than 15 years ago

    Exactly.

    Note that Raymond italicized the word "restored".
