Yes very nice pic...

Joe, look at this 1/18 scale model, do you see the abobinious reference...

A nice touch, that wing...

Yes indeed... I was targeting the N°34 that was on my Islero Le Mans racer...and not on a Miura as this toy manufacturer is referring wrongly !

**Diablo_4_Ever** · #**6746** 11-04-2009, 09:25 AM

I have always wondered: Are there really any significant performance differences between the different Miura models? Is there anyone who has driven different models? I mean, the SV was the final model, but was it really that much of an improvement over the P400? And what about the Jota?

If anyone have information on the present owner or whereabouts of Miura P400 #3153 please contact Glen at the ILR immediately. Thank you for your help.

There is no such thing as a Miura #34 Le Mans racer, accordingly, there cant be a follow up photo, can there?

The well-known Islero #34 Le Mans racer is in the Islero thread.

Graig,
scale model was a tricky joke...as Joe said follow up is in the Islero thread, but we speak also about all the Miuras that have been raced once in their life, that will be of the higest interest for me...

I'm surprised you fell for it. Harsh crowd, this.

Olivier:

I think the most serious effort was out forth by Tobias Steinwinter who raced 3312 (from memory) pictured below and he hired German Champion Hill Climb driver Gerhard Mitter to aid in the effort. Others have also tried and the conclusion is that the Miura was never designed to be a racing car, and will never be one (without extensive modifications).

**joe sackey** · #**6754** 11-05-2009, 01:28 AM

Anatoly Arutunoff told me he raced his Miura P400 in serious SCCA competition. It was the best car in the field. For about 2 laps...

Joe,
I appreciate your time to answer me...but Gian Paolo Dallara accepted to work for Ferruccio Lamborghini because Ferruccio confirmed he will produce street cars & race cars...feeding Dallara with the dream of a "Toro di Corsa"...leading later to built design Miura chassis...
