Miura, the original supercar

I thought it could have been the one you restored to lime green for the swiss owner, since they are from the same area (Appenzell).

Could this one be in the famous Dauphin collection?

Simon Kidston asked the same question

 

Don't get it. What do you mean?

 

So, the proper methodology if your Miura is on fire while you are driving is to go much faster. It should make for a great YouTube video, but at least your slats will be fine, your carbs not so much.

That picture hurts just looking at it.

 

I was told by Peter Hay when he picked up his new Miura SV in 1972 the salesman at the time told him if it catches fire to dip the clutch and press the accelerator hard to suck the flames back in,he thought he was joking!I had an SV catch fire on me once and this works, the fire only damages the venturi of the carbs and the air box,I was not travelling very fast when it happened,travelling at speed might be different but they don't normally catch fire when the engine is at high revs,the cars I know that have had fires are normally sat in traffic.

Wrong figure! Wrong haistyles!

 

Kidston did put up this pic on his/their Facebook page and asked for this cars vin #.

I tried to help Kidston with this, because I remembered that this pic was posted on F-chat one-two years ago. So i thought the vin # maybe was posted here as a comment to the pic. But after some search here I found out there was non vin # posted.

was just an little smiley for velocetwo, the reason of the smiley I don’t want to drag up here.

Ok, unnecessary and OT.

 

Carbs that haven't caught fire.

Here is a very nice video I just found on youtube:

This is some truly spirited driving!

First time I see it, sorry if it is a repost.

 

Found on an Australian forum.

Very interesting match. Looks like the Daytona won because he cheated, he's driving on the "right" side while the Miura's driven on the "left" side (no political implications intended, BTW)

This is one of the most stunning Miuras I've ever seen:

In their 30th anniversary edition this month, Classic & Sports Car claim in a more general context that the Daytona beats the Miura. Is that really the case? I guess it depends what aspect of the car you're talking about. It can't be about what goes round a track better. By most accounts, the Miura is a supercar and gave birth to the term. It broke new ground in so many ways. But is a Daytona a supercar? I don't think so.

And admittedly, asking this question on this forum is a bit like asking an estate agent if a house is good value...

Roy`s former car, back in Switzerland now.

 

Hmm, Daytona won even though he had an off on the first lap
