Miura, the original supercar

Purpose built sounds a little better

 

i live in cheshire,maybe we should have a BB/miura showdown!

 

no, not italian proverb

just kiddin around with the apocaliptcal scenario they are talking about in the supercar chat with people eating each others ...

 

At 11 miles per gallon you're gonna have to meet me more than half way! - I never thought I'd own a car that I look at the weather forcast first before taking it out - pity really but i'ts just so clean & perfect I don't want to spend 3 days shoving rags inside the chassis to dry & clean it after getting it wet and dirty - also my council are a bit proliferate with the rock salt on the roads & I wait for a rainy day to wash this away first.

If it wasn't for the rush I get driving it I don't think we'd ever leave the bedroom - and its a hell of a job getting a car of this size up and down stairs.

Welcome to Miura ownership weather.com is required before any drive. I got caught in a brief rain shower on the way back from a show over the summer and lets just say its not an all weather vehicle. Its pretty much a sunny day only car - much more so that my Dino which is a GTS!

However, Miura on a cold sunny day is a good thing, because it has that V12 heater there - works well in cold weather. I'm jonesing for a drive of mine since we've had a runny of terrible weather in new england.

 

Well the weather in Old England isn't much better!

Also don't under estimate the value to the car of a cold day - my old BMW sees almost 10bhp gain on a real cold morning - I bet the miura breathes easier too & makes some real measurable gains.

Thanks to all for photography feed back - all very favourable and a real testament to a local amateur photographer who despite never seeing either the car or any of the historic images previously published has started to get a real feel for the capturing the car at it's very best.

Could I also comment - there appears to be a lot of moderators hanging about from Ferrari chat on OUR miura pages - isn't there much going on in Ferrari land or are you finally being seduced by the charms of our miura?

Those pic's are amazing!

 

You've discovered the best way to use one!

 

Perhaps they will take a cue from your thoughts and re-name it "Your Miura thread" or "The People's Miura thread"...

 

Let's hope they will do, the actual rename was quite arbitrary

 

..or the Ultimate MIURA thread ... or the MIURA BIBLE or the essential internet MIURA source

thanks for all your time Sackey .

As a matter of fact ; I named my pic after this thread

I thought for sure I was going to see a close-up shot of the stitching on the dash of #4884...

 

I intended the "our" to mean Lamborghini as opposed to Ferrari - Just felt there seemed to be a lot of the red world hanging about in our (lambo) pages.
