    Hi Joe...
    if you are putting the car back to 'Orig' blue and Cream.. what are you going to do with the Zinc bits... will they find their way onto a facsimilie/replica or will the bits be put in storage?
    Only ask this because, as you know, theres long discussions in the Horsey section about body parts, replica or real etc
    regarding GTO's.
    So if the parts are to be used on another car.. is that a replica ZN or as they are the only bits, is that a new ZN?

    if it where mine (my 2pence worth here) i'd keep it as the ZN, and take a tired Miura and replicate the Blue/Cream car..
    But, hey, thats just me....(and for the record, i'd own a replica GTO too. as in the Family/paul vesty car, not a Z240...)

    Actually Im not doing anything....

    The car's owner is having Bobileff save all the ZN 75's details for posterity's sake - no replicas will get involved here.

    Yes. The white spyder became the silver Miura Spyder Jota, which as we speak has now been painted lime green. It used to be orange when new, so only a few more colors to go and it will have the spectrum covered...

    I am glad this thing will be put back to its original configuration. If it were mine, I'd do the exact same thing. The ZN car was simply a "pimp my ride" version of a beautiful show Miura. I for one will be very happy to see the transformation back to original. Lucky I'm in San Diego to drop in and see the changes.

    The white giant belonged never to Mimran, Mimran had another Miura Jota-ized for himself.

    Incredible to believe this car gets again a new colour, I think yellow wasn't used on 4808 so far, so let's what a year or two...

    Yes it was a bit flashy and most seem glad to see it return to the sublime Bertone Roadster.

    good to see that the factory thought the clear front indicators were best too :D
