    Hi Stephen,

    No, it's still in Europe enjoying a warmer climate than us.

    Thanks!

    I think the publisher may have to print more copies than the Miura book...

    The first book is really special to me, but the Ferrari market is significantly broader.

    Thanks Olivier. The GTO book is getting some great reviews, thankfully!

    Meanwhile, I can attest that if you get to drive, or better still, own, either or both of these cars, you're in danger of (at least temporarily) forgetting that other cars exist!

    What I already described, Joe - it´s an absolutely perfect masterpiece - but for me the Miura-Bible is the culmination!

    Unfortunately not, I've driven both a long time ago, when I was still a member of Ferrari Belgio Club, but didn't have the place to "play" like this !

    This was the Miura S [3940] that was burnt out, before the reg was on the SV, [now reg EVG 66H]the car was rebuilt by Omricon Engineering, and was sold years later to John Braithwaite,it has now been sold again by Land Mark Cars in London and has had fuel injection fitted.

    Is it a coincidence that this car appeared on a VLG thread today, regarding the fuel injection system? Looks like it wore "PGR 120" whilst having the injection system done in The Netherlands, presumably prior to going to Landmark in London. Prior to that I think SMDG had it, and pistonheads suggests Chris Evans owned it about the time too.

    Photos from KMS Facebook page and VLG

    Looks like a very old picture. Late seventies, early eighties ? Would surprise me if this place still exist. Was there a 2nd (green) Miura in the same barn ?

    Yes, that's an old picture and you are correct, there were 2 Miuras in that garage. Look way earlier in this thread.

    pic comes from Edmond Pery, a Belgian pioneer collector that had also an automobile brand history with APAL.

    His buggies were successful beside his resin bath range, but he was granted with his 356 Speedster when Porsche AG featured one of his in the official Porsche calendar.

    He was less "inspired" with his F40 replica based on Pontiac Fiero... I supplied him 12x Fiero when I was living in Dallas-TX back in 1990 & 1991, all were sold.
