    There were at least three Miuras.

    By your use of the words "at least" when referencing an aspect of Lamborghini's history, it is clear to me that you are a truly astute & learned Lamborghini Historian.

    So the three referred to must be the blue and white Miuras, plus the SVJ. Spoilt for choice, but why choose an "ordinary" Miura when you can pick the SVJ?

    The white P400S was the Shah's sister's (Princess Ashraf) car. The dark blue SV and the Maroon SVJ were the Shah's cars.

    By the way, there is no such thing as an 'ordinary' Miura IMO, from P400 to P400SVJ.

    I've been there and it isn't that much of a pain in the ass to get to. But, he's right, there is no "signage" out front.

    The cars are left in as-is condition, which is probably better than if some hack mechanics were hired to cobble them together with improper tools and spare parts. Most of them have a plaque in front that says the year/make/model and some of the statistics, although many of them have incorrect information.

    I've never been lucky enough to see the SVJ, but I do remember the short feature for UK tv when Tiff Needel drove it some years ago.I'm sure you remember that! I was only using the word ordinary to compare for instance, a base model as opposed to a top of the range model of the same car! It looked absolutely stunning, especially with the white leather.
