Miura, the original supercar

I haven't been following this topic for a year or so, but thought I'd post this in case it wasn't mentioned. I ran into this on ebay by accident. It's the Luigi Colani concept car that was built using Miura parts. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Other-Makes-Colambo-Luigi-Colani-Lamborghini-Miura-LeMans-Concept-Car-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3f066f651aQQitemZ270690903322QQptZUSQ5fCarsQ5fTrucks

 

Joe Sackey already posted it
It also made it into the February 2011 edition of Thoroughbred & Classic cars. Let's hope the next owner takes better care of it.

 

Lamborghini Miura SV 4926 sold for $930,000 USD plus commission at the Gooding Auction.

 

The car was gorgeous, the interior looked brand new too.

Except the wheels I cannot see another Miura part... I strongly doubt the history about a cut Miura chassis.

 

No Miura chassis in it. SV rear wheels only. Plans for an SV engine never materialized.

 

That's absolutely perfect. That would be my ideal Miura colour combination. I hope the new owner enjoys it in good health.

 

Well deserved- It was well presented, IMHO.

 

I don't believe your question was answered. Those pictures come from a japanese magazine called Genroq. I have scans of it if someone is interested.

 

Thanks for your reply to my previous post.
Yes, I'm personnally interested in your scanned pictures.
Perhaps you can send them on my PM ?

Thanks
Bruno

 

I don't know how to send attachements through PM. Just PM me your email and I'll send them to you. Same thing for anybody who wants the scans. The text is in Japanese, I plan on translating it in French for a friend of mine who owned 5090, maybe I can translate it in English too if people are interrested.

 

Isn't that the ol' Rod Stewart car??

Thanks for sharing this Francis!

 

Wow, I've never seen a Miura with that much lean to it before. Looks like stiffer springs are in order!

 

Talking about leaning, this is me "racing" my #4067 in 2004.

My best

Hi everyone,

Im new to the forum and stumbled on some pictures i took early one morning in Piccadilly -London last year.

They are of OPW 8F ... possibly the first RHD Miura made i've read.

Sorry dont know how to add the pics but i will happily email them to anyone if forum rules allow.

Imagine she doesn't come that much, but it looked STUNNING !



Regards,
Richard.

 

Great stuff! Never seen a Peugeot Miura before; is it a diesel?

 

I've seen that car at a few shows over the years and talked to the owner. He sold it years ago and I don't know who owns it now and haven't seen it since.
