    Standard is showing up to 320 km/h, corresponding to 200 mph, this is already optimistic enough. And it would take some courage as well :)

    I guess even the original Jota, would have trouble exceeding the 200 mhp.

    Correct.

    This is nothing more than a creation of someone's optimistic imagination.

    Excited kids in parking lot - "What is it? How fast does it go?"
    Me - "Look at the speedometer"
    Kids - "OMG, 320 miles per hour!"
    Me - grin

    Kids??? I have adults say that.... and then still not believe me when i tell
    them it's not mph! It's cute with a kids imagination but when it's an adult then "stupid"
    comes to mind.

    Here are a couple of photos of a 1970 P400S. These photos were taken at the Amelia Island Concours in 2006.

    I apologize for the poor quality, they were taken with a cell phone camera.

    Great piece. Guy Anderson & Co had many Miura adventures in the old days.

    Richard Losee & dad did 2 such cross country trips: New York to Provo/Utah in the P400, and then Ft Lauderdale/Florida to Provo/Utah in the SV years later.

    There is a chapter about this in my Miura book.

    Love this old skool Lake Tahoe poster :)
