    Interesting specs, I don't remember seeing those SV specs anywhere. I will have to check with Joe on this. Try to match up our records.

    Are those 911 headlights?

    Best,

    John

    Well, one must always give an "A" for effort and Im sure the owner is very proud.

    However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

    Raymond:

    Mr. Foitek was very helpful when I inquired about the history of my car when I first got it. He sent me a rare original circa 1967 Foitek sticker that I intend to put on the car when I restore it. He was the one that informed me who the first owner was, and that he was connected to Monteverde.

    Do you happen to know how many Miura's were delivered to Foitek? Based on the records that Joe has posted it appears #1021 was the first one delivered to them. Pretty cool.

    OK OK, if you really want to spend some money the interior can go back to "Nero" when you are ready.

    Your car is one of this first batch of production cars coming down Bertone SpA's Grugliasco 'line.... spring 1967.

    Whats behind the Miuras?

    Very interesting photo. Almost exactly as mine, see my site, www.lamborghinimiura.com (3rd photo on the 1st page) and already discussed with Alberto on this thread, but seems to be taken a couple of minutes earlier or latter (some differents details). Iso Rivolta Gts and ? in the background. Maybe Alberto's car is in the photo, who knows?
