Miura, the original supercar

http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/142354512-post11717.html

looks like this car is the same one that is now being flipped at RM in monterey? it had been marketed for a while in italy so i guess someone is hoping for the barn find premium to find its way at monterey... it seems quite original, but will require alot of work and RM's description suggests it is not the correct engine.

 

Wow, I was just watching a rerun of "Chasing Classics" from 2006.

Christie's sold a '72 Miura SV for $420,000.00. That seems like a bargain given what they are selling for now!

 

It was bought this June in Italy, right? Or are you saying the car did not sell and the current seller is the long time owner or representing them? If that's the case it's not being flipped but it was my impression this car was bought by a new owner 2 months ago

 

Ok, I had been in touch with someone representing the car and when i asked for more info i was then told it was sold. Could be they decided to just send it to auction but seems like an aggressive move for a car being represented by a local Italian which is why I assumed it traded to a flipper looking to sell at Monterey but maybe not

Miura Prototype Rolling Chassis hammered at $430k.

 

Thanks to the excellent pictures of the great Joe Sackey (#11875), and from the italian plate is possible to know the chassis number: 4862, and the only two "Italian" owners : Giuseppe Turello and Rolf-Welli Engelhardt from Hamburg, this latter with temporary residence in Bologna.

So who bought it? A gentleman in Switzerland?

 

Some great unique details on this car- frame details, Knockoffs, interior detail, and lack of body stampings.

 

You haven't any idea about of many hours were necessary to find the original photos, to study every details, to reproduce what is missing: hundreds and hundreds. Even the colour is unique. This is a great achievement!

 

Great, really great. More photos?

 

I can't post the original pics for copyright reasons, but this is a nice gallery:

Joey, i'm not the owner. He 'll answer to your questions when he'll come home.
I just took part to the researches here in Turin, but i can't post the photos for copyright reasons because the Italian rules are different.

 

The system doesn't allow me to post the link, eventually the gallery is here:
