    It is discussed earlier in this thread that Twiggy & her manager (Justin de Villeneuve) owned 2 lime green Miura S, one of which was indeed this car.

    Makes me think how supercars are (too) big and heavy today.

    There is a long time ago, it was discussed in this thread about the original exhibition Miura chassis... was it in Greece ?

    Wat happen to it finally ?

    Did you trade it Joe ?

    Was it finally restored ?

    Where does it reside by now ?

    Would like to see more of this shoot. The Miura looks tiny compared to the Aventador, but maybe this is an optical illusion due to the perspective.

    It was in Cyprus.
    I helped import it to the USA.
    I sold it to a good client of mine.
    Bobileff restored it to 1965 Turin Salon condition.
    It resides with my client in the USA.

    Would it be possible or has it ever been considered to make a working car from this prototype chassis if it had a body etc put on it or is it more important in its bare chassis form?

    Anything is possible, but the current owner has it displayed at his home just the way you saw it in 1965 at the Turin Salon. I think he likes it like that.

    Does he have a fully built drivable Miura with a body on it too?

    It would be absolutely criminal to put a body on the original chassis or to make ir drivable in any way. Banish the thought.

    I only asked if it would be possible or if it's ever been considered. Thought banished.

    It exists like it was in 1965, a showpiece, a presentation of the future of Lamborghini, the starting point from which all road-going supercars today descend.

    Use the search function and type 4870. Look also after posts made by F-Chatter johnhoughtaling, ex owner of this car.

    It is a shame that such master piece disapeared from Lamborghini community.

    Despite the fact, you know where it is... it sounds like the "Graal" under protection of Lancelot...

    Does Gary Bobileff has some pics of its restoration ?

    I understand exactly how you feel.

    Many significant Lamborghinis are rarely ever seen or shared.

    This particular masterpiece was never in the Lamborghini community in the first place! In fact when it was rescued it hadn't been seen for almost 45 years.

    Some owners are just not club or forum people.

    I cannot understand that some people are not sharing.

    Since it has been rescued it would be a social & generosity behavior to share pictures of it now a days.

    One more treasure to be hidden untill its owner pass away... hoping the heritage will be shared before another 45 years !

    I remember reading about Frankie J. Bradley in the press back in the early 80's in that brown Countach. One of the articles I read was comparing Frankie's Countach, a 512 Boxer and a blue Pantera. Thanks for posting the pic. I often wondered if he still drives Lamborghinis. Pleased to see and hear that he does. Which SVJ is the one in the vid above at Giro d'Italia, Joe?
