Speaking of possible one-off specifications, does anyone know of another Miura built with Feltro Grigio (Grey Felt) seats? The owner of this car walked into the factory in the summer of 1967 (on his honeymoon!) and asked Sgarzi if he could buy a Miura. The answer was obvious, but he asked Sgarzi if he could supply the car with seats covered in a felt material, just like the Porsche 904 he owned at the time. He found this fabric to be cool in California summers, yet afforded grip for spirited driving. The seats were built in the same pattern as standard seats, using grey felt to cover the entire topside of the seats (not just the inserts), with the traditional vinyl basket-weave for the seat-backs and headrests. The car was collected in this spec from the factory, flown to California via Frankfurt - LAX, driven home from LAX, and remains with the owner exactly as built. It still lives next to the 904. Anyone know of another this supplied?

Is that a standard type of "sticker" with an adhesive back on one of those "water slide" decals? I imagine it could be reproduced?
Joe: Do you have more detailed pictures of the steering wheel leather cover, particularly the sewing pattern? Alberto
Thanks for the answer... I never heard about that shop before, where is it located/address in Aix en Provence ? Which Jarama & Islero are you speaking about ? I was speaking about "Virage C" at Castellet, I know they actually restore P400 #3156. About one month ago I met Pierre Sceri in Orange who is restoring a Miura engine + conversion with dry sump and went to Ponce bodypaint shop to see P400 #3964. About #3015, I invite you to go on IRL to look at its story, http://www.lamborghiniregistry.com/ it was red with black interior, it was the 1st sold in Belgium, and is in France since +/- 1990. Not even Ciclet heard about it. To recognize it, look at the driver front end its license plate frame.
Alberto if you go on my website and seek out the car (3216) in the Galleria section, you'll see the images there are much better resolution. Feel free to download anything you want.
Yes very nice pic... Joe, look at this 1/18 scale model, do you see the abobinious reference... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes indeed... I was targeting the N°34 that was on my Islero Le Mans racer...and not on a Miura as this toy manufacturer is referring wrongly !
I have always wondered: Are there really any significant performance differences between the different Miura models? Is there anyone who has driven different models? I mean, the SV was the final model, but was it really that much of an improvement over the P400? And what about the Jota?
If anyone have information on the present owner or whereabouts of Miura P400 #3153 please contact Glen at the ILR immediately. Thank you for your help. [email protected] http://www.lamborghiniregistry.com
Is there a follow up photo of #34 Le Mans racer please? thank you Craig Image Unavailable, Please Login
There is no such thing as a Miura #34 Le Mans racer, accordingly, there cant be a follow up photo, can there? The well-known Islero #34 Le Mans racer is in the Islero thread.
Graig, scale model was a tricky joke...as Joe said follow up is in the Islero thread, but we speak also about all the Miuras that have been raced once in their life, that will be of the higest interest for me...
Olivier: I think the most serious effort was out forth by Tobias Steinwinter who raced 3312 (from memory) pictured below and he hired German Champion Hill Climb driver Gerhard Mitter to aid in the effort. Others have also tried and the conclusion is that the Miura was never designed to be a racing car, and will never be one (without extensive modifications).
