    I loosely remember his quote: "People who want to be famous drive Ferraris, but people who ARE famous drive Miuras"

    I believe it was more in the lines that "If you want to be somebody, you buy a Ferrari. When you are someone you buy a Lamborghini"

    If I remember right, the conversation went like this:

    "A Lamborghini? ... and what a horrid interior!"

    "Hey Pal, I did it MYYYYYYYY WAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!"

    This is another car that was in Switzerland as you are likely inferring from the license plate holder. 4908 is still in the Geneva area. I will confirm this car's details as soon as possible.

    There was also another yellow SV, once owned by ILOC member Dr. Urs Blum in the eighties, it has a chromed sebring mirrors, but unfortunately I don't know the Vin of that car. #4886 was exported to the Netherlands. 5052 is in Japan, these are the only yellow swiss SV's I know.
    Then I got a picture from Marcel de Lange showing these other SV with the mirrors on the doors, that's perhaps the car you found, I know that there is somewhere in the Zurich region a SV with a broken engine, but the owner did never want to sell it but had also no money to fix it.

    Very interesting thread. As a great Miura enthusiast I much enjoy reading each post.

    Can someone tell me the chassis number of the white Miura SV displayed next to the ex Mimran Miura S/N 4088 at the Garage R. Affolter in Porrentruy? The same white Miura SV is also shown in post #2540 from Joe.

    The Lamborghini Miura, Geneva 1966. This exquisite expression of mobile sculpture, had a style and masculine grace never seen before; some critics declared that it had reached an esthetic pinnacle that never would be matched. A cursory glance at the stuff cluttering highways today suggests they may have been right.

    According to a reliable source in the area, this is the second time in as many years that the engine is out for a rebuild.
