    Quite the life this car has had and I remember it sat at Rudi Klein's Foreign Auto Wrecking on Alameda treet (in Los Angeles) for over 10 years.

    It has been lovingly restored in Germany but not with much regard to authenticity, but maybe thats the way the new owner wanted it...

    A few items worth pointing out on 4880, none of which are major 'sins' all of which can be corrected, if the owner so wanted...

    First off, this chassis brace-bar is from a P400S. SVs had a solid unit without the stamped "swiss cheese" circular perforations.

    Satin black trim around the headlight apetures is missing... easy fix if desired.

    Carello driving lamps when applied by the works were always recessed into the front grille... note P400 front wheels.

    . . . everytime I have my eyes on a Miura - any Miura - it looks different and really leaves me enchanted. There simply is no other car that does that to me.

    Although I'd have an LP400 over a Miura . . . But then, 'sitting in' is something completely different than 'looking at'.

    I'm slowly reading this topic: from the beginning and I'm now at 40-something.

    Does Nicolas Cage still have that burgundy SV? Now THAT is my fav one, black exhausts and all.

    In the late '80s there was a Miura that was owned by a student at San Jose State. He told me that the chassis was not "right" - something about having been stolen and damaged; he had bought it in this condition. I drove it one time with him; interesting but earlier in the week I had been driving a 250LM so the excitement of the Miura was not as great as it should have been.

    Anyone know what became of the car?

    Cage had a Jota-modified SV (SVJ). He no longer has it.

    Joe, I know the restorer -and then time owner- who sits about 30 miles from my home. He is a very complicated person but known for his excellent and very authentic restorations of 50ies Ferraris, Maseratis and Porsches. He had no clue about Lamborghini........!

    Ciao!

    Can`t agree more - BUT: guidance is not what he accept as he always believe that he knows more than the rest of the universe.......!

    That must make it one of the record holders for continuous ownership. I know Rick had it in 77 and he had bought it sometime before then.

    Is his a P400 or a 400S?

    No, actually I can think of at least 5 Miura owners who purchased their car NEW and still have it!

    P400...

    Hahahaha. "Almost wrecked". I like that.

    Walter, just looking at the images of the crumpled mass of aluminum and metal that was once a Miura SV, I am certain that the driver was a fatality, or was badly maimed at the very least. It was a horrible crash to within an inch of the car's life. Then it sat around for 10-plus years slowly corroding away - outside!!! I am certain most of the car today comprises of replacement parts (see my note about the front chassis suspension above).

    It would not be proper to post said images of the wrecked car at this time...
