    Looks like the ex Shah of Iran/Nicolas Cage Miura. I was in fact at the auction in Geneva in 1997 when Nic bought it. Several Lambos there + the Raptor. I was after an Espada from his released collection.

    This is not the Nick Cage car. That car had a white interior which I think looks even better with Rosso Granada.

    Sorry don't see the point. Uglier than an SV and no racing history anyway. Just looking at it you can pretty much tell it's not going to hold together. Where is the cold airbox for the engine for a start?

    Yes Wallace made a real one, but that was never raced too ... what a pity. Oh well just my opinion.

    And partially wrong, #4808 was not a SV but a normal S.

    Description appears correct on the original site, in French : "base de miura S transformée en Spyder par une société Suisse." ; looks like a translation mistake...

    Well hopefully nobody has enough bad taste to ruin a S or SV today and make another SVJ.

    Wonderfully elegant cars as they are :).

    I believe it is. Last time I saw it for was in Monterey at the Russo & Steele Auction. It was a no sale as I recall.

    That is Biz 0256 very original only three owners, and you really shouldn't take pictures of Lamborghini's with a Bizzarrini in the background because no one will see the Lambo :)

    Agreed.

    Some say the Bizzarrini was the first mid engined exotic for the street!
