    There was an article in a japanese magazine, I think the second one was only a 1:1 model, from the pictures it looked like one converted car and the model, google is our friend:

    Aah, thanks for clarifying that, the other car I saw was dark blue, I think.

    Thanks for sharing, Joe. Countach, Miura SV and Boxer along with the Dino 246 and Daytona are the best looking road cars ever made, IMO.

    I don't disagree. I think the Ghibli is far better looking than a Daytona and to miss an E-type, well...

    +100 Ghibli and Miura are beautiful by any measure. Not so much..... "is that a 'Z' car?" Daytona....

    Believe it or not, I've seen a pic of this as a roadster as well. Probably a mock up. I rather like the car, as a design study & show car. The Sogna was featured in one of the Exotic Cars Quarterly issues...

    This is my opinion too.
    I would add the 275 GTB and erase the 512BB

    I have to say that looks very nice without the wing.
    And that comes from a wing lover. Sincerely Vic

    You are right, relatively inexpensive, as is the case with most obsolete race cars with no race success.

    FWIW the Rain X car is the yellow Annivesario.

    By the way, on another subject, I will never sit in another Lamborghini driven by Tiff Needell!

    In a USA collector's private (non-commercial) garage. You can see some of his other cars in the other images.

    If it's May next year and not September this year, we will go down together. I'd be very happy if that would happen - sort of understatement !

    Yes, but the Miura must be more popular with 1.3 million views.

    This is an interesting topic. I think we all agree that they look better without all the DOT stuff. But if you spend the money, why not also remove the side-markers?

    In this case below, even the front turn-signal lenses have been eliminated.

    Its seems its either too little or too much.

    I like the look of the euro side markers. My choice would be not to take them off, but I can understand why people do. The US ones are truly hideous and merit a lampectomy.

    I don't mind the small "original" front markers. I wouldn't bother removing them but i agree
    about the rears. Some day mine will be back to the way it should be. Is this countach the old Mike, Nichols, Tony, now in Calif. car?

    Yes.

    To clarify (I may not have made my point very well), if any money is to be spent on these cars to rid DOT items, it should take the car back to the basic factory spec. So, yes, front turn-signals should be there, they serve an important purpose in traffic. I am wondering why the front turn-signals were deleted in this case. Either way, nice car. Interesting pic with cops waiting...
