Miura, the original supercar

Someone else give up the dream? That's been at Gary's for some time if I am not mistaken.

Dark green with mustard interior.

Car is yellow/black now, and registered on Paris plates ending at "75"
owned by a French Lamborghini Club Celebrity...who ?

Au revoir!
Marcel

 

Very nice Lel !

Can you perhaps tell us something about the history of that car?
First Dealer: MAIOCCHI BELLERI and then?
Was it registered on Swedish plates?
Car still in Sweden?

The interior was original blue.
I seen white or cream seats in your very nice pictures.
Are the doors carpets and dashboard blue?

Thanks!
Marcel

 

I took the photos in 1983 at a car show in France. Thanks.

Never registered in Sweden. Was registered in Denmark for some years but is told to be sold to Switzerland and now bodily restored in Italy.
Interior is overall blue except the seats which are ivory with blue piping.

Your car was not sold in switzerland, I know all swiss vins.

 

I kindly nicked these from Joe's. The excuse is 'bandwidth'





It just happend Miles' '64 Four&More album popped out of my collection and I'm currently listening while cooking our family dinner. I now see why the Miura matches Miles so very well. The snaps above were taken early 70s I presume . . . Miles was into electric mode then, but clearly the jagged edge was already in his music a sound decade before. For me the height is the Plugged Nickel series . . .

His '64 combo consists of 4 fresh young musicians who could play everything. Everything up from blistering fast to controlled and relaxed easy. Never does their performance strike you in a look-at-me way. Never does time seems to interfere with their abbilities. Always does the music caress and enchant. At least is does to me. There's nothing like it, they did their own thing and set a landmark.

The body of the music are these four young men, dressed up in the most fashionable way of their time. The Miura's body is that young Gandini's striking piece of art, miles away from everyday ordinarity. The rawness and domination, arrogance even is Miles himself: the prince of darkness. The 4 litre embodies it all . . . "Listen, I'll tell you a story you'll never forget."

Together - four plus one - the where the upbeat to one of the most exciting quintets ever. When Coltrane was added (think SV) every performance and recording was a major event.

Back to the Miura: the sheer arrogance to come up with a car BETTER than any period Ferrari and only with a V12 engine in a package so utterly beautifull is so Miles-like. He played with his back to his audience just to make the music better. In his way Ferruccio did the same to Enzo.

It's a fact: the Miura is a Milestone, a true So What?-car, there's simply nothing like it.

 

Hey Raymond!

You probably mean all the Miura's originally delivered to Switzerland?
That information is available.

Or are you also being notified whenever a Lamborghini is imported nowadays as well, that would be great!

In that case you might be able to tell us wich car is this, currently for sale in Switserland.

Best regards,
Marcel
