Miura, the original supercar

Maybe practice makes perfect.

 

That's one SV I don't know yet, at this hill climb one was killed, the GT40 got off the road, unfortunately a guard was running out with the yellow flag.
The driver of the miura had to brake hard and lost control and unfortunately hit the guy who was running out without need.
If that guy didn't run on the track nothing would have happened and he still being alive...
Driver was Lüssi a temporary car dealer in the zurich region.

#5074 is still in the museum in Porrentruy, owned by Alex and Felicitas.

 

Joe, any idea of the VIN of the yellow ones you posted?
Not the awful wrong painted ex-Wolf...

 

The yellow Miura SV that was involved in the crash is S/N 5052. I have talked to the owner on the day before the tragedy and he was very friendly to open up the front hood so that I was able to check the serial number 5052 stamped on the I.D. plate. He told me that he owns the car since 34 years (2006) and drives it quite often. The car outside appearance has much “patina” accordingly and looks unristored. The original mirrors have been replaced by un-aesthetically squared units! The interior looks still to be the original blue colour. The sills are black with thin silver/aluminium trimming.

Thank you so much, I was searching this car a long time already. Well another yellow SV is still a mistery, the car of Urs Blum, perhaps it's 5074 which was restored in the factory.

It seems Glen's registry is wrong since it says:
Prod. #731. 10 May 1972. Originally to Fischer Schulze, Germany through Foitek. Now in Japan.

Have you been able to take also a picture of the VIN plate?

BTW: one of the pictures I postet before show also #5052, have a look at the registration plates...

Joe, do you know the yellow swiss SV which took part at the Miura drive to Monaco?

Unlike #4908 this car has no mirror on the right side.

When did this crash occur? It looks like the Miura won the fight.

 

Pretty sad. Both great cars. That GT 40 looks like a replica. But it maybe just me. Hopefully it is a fake!

 

July 2005 at the Hittnau Hillclimb in Switzerland, tragically one died.

The GT40 is an original as well since that hillclimb was for temporary cars only...

 

4856 I think

Thanks, I was searching this list like mad.

Interesting to know that #4806 is still in Switzerland...

 

Hey Joe, what's the status on your book? I don't know anything about publishing, but is there a hold up somewhere on that end of things or are you still editing and working on the content? Just curious.

In time for Christmas?

 

OK ... whose cars are these

By then unfortunately the battery of my camera was dead so I could not take a picture of the VIN plate.
You are correct; in your post #2634 on the lower picture we can see the same registration plate so it must be Miura SV S/N 5052. This very same picture can also be found on the lamborghiniregistry site in the information „folder“ for Miura SV S/N 4998. Some update/adjustment is required on this entry I believe.

Below picture shows Miura SV S/N 5052 on the day the tragic accident happened (Sunday, August 27, 2006).

I used to see SV 4960 parked on the street in 1975 in Vienna, Austria. It was sometimes parked on a traffic island at Freyung Platz, the car looked virtually the same as is does today.

Where's Joe?
Grabbing that yellow SV in Switzerland?

 

I assume he is still busy with the turkey.....!

Ciao!
