What's with all of the electrical "enhancements" (see all of the add=on wiring around the battery and the fuel pump).
Does someone know what happened to Kidston's website ? www.themiuraregistry.com it's no longer available...
Cool. That would improve gas mileage from 15 miles per gallon to 16 miles per gallon. They should mandate that into law so we can save the world, one Miura at a time.
Beside #3015 (1st P400 delivered in Belgium) that was raced in Belgium in hillclimbs or rallies, there is also another Belgian P400 that was raced by Mr. Thenaerts in hillclimbs as well as reported at Zolder or for 1000km of Spa back in 1970. Here is its first picture... but look at license plate, does it help someone to identify its VIN number ? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
You probably know this, but the factory jig consisted of three men (plus one watching) and a chain pulley, along with much thought and some fine elbow grease. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vKbLD6_C8k Image Unavailable, Please Login
I've seen the video before but this is the first time I actually watched the Miura engine installation. The sling device they suspended the engine from looks pretty ingenious. It allows them to easily rotate around a horizontal axis while sneaking it down through the frame. Appears to use a shaft with chains and sprockets. Pretty nifty! Does anyone have better pictures of this?
Here is another one in a french movie...Miura chasing a Fiat...it's in french but at the end very funny : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcxTljRHOQg&NR=1&feature=fvwp
mine = my pic LOL... Raymond, if you don't know yet, the only one Miura I intend to buy is #3015...no other one !
Unfortunately, #3015 last registration was "DNV312", and it's registration plate support was on driver side so on right side angle...not centered/right in the middle...
I hope the project is still underway and that we get to see it display at a show in the near future- Image Unavailable, Please Login
