    Funny you should say that as AutoArt do a very nice 1/18 scale SV in white with gold sills!
    White's probably my least favourite colour on the Miura but with gold skirts they look great. Oh man, what am I saying - they look great in any colour!

    Is it located in the UK? Isn't the "S" upside down?

    I was kind of hoping you would come up with the goods Joe.

    I'm guessing Riverside, probably around 1969. No idea on the chassis.

    although the badge says SV, that green car isn't an SV is it? The rear wheels don't look quite right for an SV....

    It's not the wheels themselves, but the way they don't fill out the rear arches/haunches is the giveaway. They are too inset. On a genuine SV the rear wheels bulge out of the arches like a beautiful, perfectly proportioned and well endowed woman's breasts bulge out of her wonderbra. It's among the most perfect examples of auto erotica ever.

    This car is not an SV, but an S that I restored, and after the restoration was completed, the former owner wanted me to start over by making up SV body work to this car. That was done. The rear suspension still remains S style, therefore the wider SV rear wheels are still inset into the body, giving it a non SV look. But, all other aspects of the car are an exact duplicate of aSV ,, rear fenders, nose, etc.

    I think the owner should get you to sort the suspension out as per SV.

    Its very easy to tell a genuine SV apart from a fake. The reason is that as with all Miuras, a genuine SV has many delicate details (such as you have so eloquently illustrated!) - the shape of the wheel arches front & rear, the shape of the headlight apertures, the shape of the bumper/grille apertures, the shape & slope of the topside nose and the front underside, the shoulder line & seams on front & rear hoods, the interior appointments etc etc. A fake SV is always an accumulation of slightly misshapen panels, sometimes poorly executed features, and non-original components.

    Even from a distance, or an average image, a pseudo SV can be immediately discerned. IMHO, a successful SV copy created in the post-production period has yet to be completed.
