Miura, the original supercar

tks for posting
interesting pics

p.s. i like the big a.. of the SV

 

Agreed!

 

So whats everyone estimate of the auction price?
http://www.coys.co.uk/auctions/lot.php?auction=92&id=56976

 

Depending on mileage, 400-500 K Euro

 

3645 was delivered September the 5th 1968 via SEA Automobili for Grossop as a P400.

It is listed simply as "Bleu" (not defining whether this was Blue Miura or its current Bleu Notte) with "Senape" (tan) vinyl interior.

Coys refer to it as an "LP400" (!)

 

Way too high for this car. Id suggest around 300k Eu.

 

i agree with you, Joe

 

Ok, I didnt know this was a P400. But for the Miura S market, 400K+ asking price is what you see in Europe

 

Understood, but even for a P400S, it needs to be absolute top quality with no stories to bring those types of numbers.

I thought it was an UK based car, but apparently its sold to Geneva, Switzerland now.

 

A very interesting plaque affixed to the center console!

 

And the wrong shift knob : )

 

THAT is forgivable....

 

I can't believe you said that joe!!

 

The coin looking thing next to the window switchs is that just a cover for the opp key switch?

 

Correct.

 

Joe,
You're a funny guy!!

And what is that thing on the top right? Do you need to push it?

 

Well, the coin is a coin; it would be pretty hard to insert a key into it and impossible to start the car from it. The key switch is on the steering column.

I try

But seriously, I think a guy called Mario made tons of those panels with the ignition key hole in that position for the earlier cars, then when they switched to the steering column ignition, they simply upholstered over the hole, then Bruno the upholstery man noticed the hole underneath left a 'dent'. Oh, what shall we do? Oh I know, said someone (Gino), lets use all those useless bull-coins that Luca ordered that are over there sitting in a box! So they have young Valentino sitting in a corner sticking on all these bull badges. Foreman Orazio comes along and inspects one of the finished consoles and takes it to show manager Paolo who thinks this is a good solution and approves it. Therefore, this bull-coin on the center console is a special appointment that has many great men behind it: Mario. Bruno. Gino. Luca. Valentino. Orazio. Paolo.

But its worth noting that they did miss one. I have it noted somewhere in my records. I will check and post.

 

that coin is on my shift knob to...the one Ferruccio gave me, Joe!
