    I was. Was it owned by a couple from San Diego County?

    I must have seen it, but was unaware of what I was looking at (no "Exempt" plate I guess).

    I’m glad you like these pictures and they brought back nice memories to you. This car was definitely the highlight of the day for me also. The four pictures are the only ones I took from this Miura S on that day more than 20 years ago. Analogue photography with its limited shot numbers and costly film/print costs combined with me being an English language learning student for one year at SJSU may explain the limited shots taken then. I wonder what car adorns the „Exempt“ license plate today.

    Joe
    In your post #2683 the red Miura with the gold wheels next to the Bizzarini three seater prototype could be S/N 4158. Just my guess.

    The event program for the hill climb in Steckborn-Eichholzli conducted on September 22/23, 2007 has the Oliver F. Miura S 4164 listed under the participant. On September 23 I was looking for this green beauty all over the place but could not find it. Do you know the reason why this Miura did not attend this event?

    I don't know, they were members of the swiss club but haven't seen them since about 2 years, Oliver is a jet fighter pilot in the swiss army, his time limited and furthermore I think the old cars are more the choice of his father than his...

    Nice original P400S delivered new to Foitek on June of 25th 1969, "Verde Miura" with "nero beige" (which means nero with beige velour material seat inserts).

    #4164 was owned for more than 30 years by the first owner, the today owner is therefore the second.

    It was not at the St Moritz event in the summer... I was surprised there was only one Miura.

    It looks like Million $ :)

    Hey Joe, has any of your other cars had photo shooting like this one. I would love to see others if there are. Design schools should have subject: "Miura design." Clean lines and sporty simplicity-great car you have!

    Would you happen to have decent shots of 1021 at that show? I have a few that I have found on the internet, but they are not very good quality. This was before I had the car, so I have no original shots of the car at the show. I'll send you my e-mail address if you have any. Thanks in advance.

    Phillipe you are my hero! The first-ever Miura Reunion took a lot of organizing and will never be forgotten.

    The P400 was 3186 (Ed Taylor) and one of the P400S was 4832 (David Walters). I will check the other...
