Miura, the original supercar

Joe:

Are you/the publisher still thinking of having books numbered to match the cars? If so, are you going to control the distribution/sale of these numbered volumes so the owner of the vehicle is able to purchase the matching numbered book?

Joe, as a professional Art Director I agree! The cover is too much red! It has to become much more typicall Miura! There is only one true style to cover a book like yours! If you want to know, please contact me offline and I show you why....!

Ciao!

Joe,
I hope I will be more lucky to have an answer from you overhere...
Can you have a look in your files and to come back to me regarding the Miura P400 (not the S & SV) delivered new in Belgium by S.O.C.A.R.I.A.
Here are the VIN that I know so far :

# 3015 # 3105 # 3147 # 3285 # 3363

If you know more cars, can you share these VIN ? It will be great to have also original spec : external color/interior + engine N°.
I know some lists provide such details...like the one I have for the Jarama.
Now, I believe I need to feed your curiosity a little bit...I've a very nice story about a belgian Miura P400 untill it left Belgium to Italy where it still resides by now (I hope). But as I always want to be as much accurate as possible, I don't want to publish that story on VLG or FerrariChat before I got the VIN. Same as I did with publication of Le Mans 1975 Islero story.
Awaiting to discover your "help".
Kindest regards,
Olivier

Did anyone else notice Joe Sackey was Banned??? What happened??

 

Yes, it's related to the same old story regarding other member(s) here. I wish it would all stop really.

 

Anyone know how long it's for? Hopefully not permanent...

 

Nowt wong with a bit of Miura on Fchat . . .

 

There was a great example of a Miura SV at Amelia island yesterday. I was disappointed with the exterior color however. It was very dark blue, so dark in fact, that it appeared to be black even in direct sunlight. Is that a Lambo color?

The interior on this example was phenominal. White and absolutely perfect.

Now he's retiring?
I keep reading about his retirement, but 2 people have confirmed already after speaking to him that he's only celebrating his 40th anniversary with Lamborghini and has no intentions of retiring.

 

You're talking about the party that VRAlex is putting together?
Those 2 people are both on LP. One of them is from Lamborghini Troy I think and spoke to Valentino couple of days ago on the phone and Valentino denied the retirement news. 2nd person is Sameer on LP also. Here's a copy paste of the email Valentino sent him also a couple of days ago.

 

Mr. Gordon's car?

What an awesome find!

I've catched up and read all . . . Phew.

I think Balboni dies in a Lambo, I just can't think of anything else. He will stay and testdrive those stunners untill the end of day.

Up there in heaven he will drive all the lost Lambo's . . .

...

I always thought as a car the Countach was quite a 'different' car / statement compared to the elegant and sexy - almost - feminine - Miura. How come Lamborghini had such a different approach to their modelrange?
