Miura, the original supercar

apparently #4934 has it installed right in the middle console...

 

Looks like it needs to be driven ........................................................

Never seen a replica Miura before but there is one on UK EBay:

NO!

Don't make me break my foot off in yo' ass!

That is just plain WRONG!

In 1982 he could have bought the real thing for the money he had in the replica!!

I must admit, from certain angles, a line or two actually looks halfway decent. Where fender meets hood meets headlight is surprisingly not horribly reproduced for such an incredibly complex shape.

Yes, I know - it's clearly a fake, but I've got to give credit to the original manufacturer for trying their best do duplicate some pretty tough compound curves. I've seen far worse.

 

RM auctions will have two Miura at Monterey:

Miura SV #4942

Does Lamborghini Miura #4934 still reside in the UK? Haven't heard much about it in the last year or so. What an absolutely beautiful car.

 

The Miura that was formerly owned by GM is well known here but this afternoon I was visiting with my girlfriend's brother who recalled riding in one back around 1969 when he was an engineering intern at Ford. Apparently (similar to GM) it was purchased by Ford to see what could be learned from the relatively new Italian car company.

Anyone know where it is now?

 

If you're going to do a replica Miura, at least make it somewhat like the original!

Wow, that was an impressive amount of effort to build that replica. Funny to see that the replica builders spent countless hours fiddling with the window winders - an experience I've duplicated myself with the real thing. In that sense, I suppose it's fair to say that the builders got a real taste for the madness that ensues when you try to adjust these window contraptions.

 

I better put my flame suit on

but I think it looks great (minus the wheels)

 

Perdoname, pero creo que tomastes demasiada Tequila, o estas ciego.

Chassis 4365

A friend owned it longtime, till it sold to F.Lienhard

 

Thanks for that Dario, I was aware of the car but not of the VIN.

I thought it could be 3685 since that car was sold to Hirsch too.

 

You think? I figure he'll have 100K or less in the car once finished...
