    The factory information I have does not indicate "GD" the denotation for RHD and it was indeed delivered to a European dealer so all indications are that it was built as a LHD car.

    BUT, that does not mean that the factory didn't take it back and make it RHD at some point..

    Thanks Joe. Perhaps it's a question for Glenn at ILR.

    I was wondering how accurate these "GD" indications were. Assuming you are referring to your "Registro Miura", it states that 4820, 4822, 4826, and 4828 are "GD", but 4830, 4812, 4814, 4816, 4818 have no indications, and as far as I know, these are all RHD from the factory. Do I remember reading in your book that these typed pages were taken from hand-written notes? Could they have been transcribed erroneously?

    GD = Giusto Dirigere or loosely translated as Right Drive.

    Yes, Ingrid Pussich (secretary to the Sales director) wrote them in a notebook, then typed them as you see them.

    Could they have been transcribed erroneously? YES! Of course, errors & omissions are possible, and even probable.

    Not sure and it's a pedantic point, but I think GD = Guida Destra.

    Correct, apart from Valentino perhaps.
    But, I've never seen the radio built in like that. Factory option?

    After driving a few Miura examples including "parking" my fathers SV haha, I find that Miuras like to be revved, and it seems they run so much better when pushed...

    Am I making any sense??

    a few pics from my personal archive:

    - SV, yellow at AUDI, Ingolstadt 2005, Germany
    - blue/tan at Modena Track Days 2007, Germany
    - SV, red at Rosso Bianco 2006, Germany
    - blue. St. Moritz 2007, Switzerland (German owner)

    I`m sure, for the experts & enthusiasts, the Miuras and VINs are well know.

    In Miuras, Ive seen the radio mounted in the traditional place in fr0nt of the gear shifter, there on top of the dash, and rear of the console between driver & passenger. Id say most radios were mounted by the dealers, or post-production.

    I notice that Miura S above has the wide rear track of an SV.
    Am I correct in saying the S had the same rear track as a P400, with inset wheels?
    If so, was this modification ever done by Lamborghini, or has it been done retrospectively by owners wanting to make an S look like an SV?
    For me, it's sad to see the original spec of these cars being altered - despite the fact the modified car looks better.

    I dont think there are any modifications on that car, its only the SV wheels that makes it look like it has an wide rear track.
