Miura, the original supercar

At the Marginal. That is one courageous dude.

I've seen a white one here, never that green one.

 

Joe, nice looking Miura! Can we see more photos please?

 

It won its class

Good to know, it was wonderful.

 

More pics would be great...

And possibly a chassis#?

 

May I contribute to this thread...

Olivier, any idea which one this is? Could be #3426 or #3426.

That looks great. Fairly recent registration too !

 

It is telaio #3240 which was belonging to good fellow Fietmar Götz.

It now belongs to a LCB member for 2 years, reason why the license plate is recent

Thanks Joe!

I wonder if the original owner's manual mentioned by Craig aka "P400" ever made it back to this car. This manual was mentioned back on post 4926...

 

I hope they find each other...

 

Yep - car and original owner's manual reunited thanks to Craig.

coming from a real Lambo enthusiast, not taller than the Miura, he is on the right way to follow his Grandfather & his father footprint feet in the Lambo ownership...

I did not realize the Muiras are reaching into the $3MM. This is a 400 S only, for $2.7MM. but hey who is counting...

I saw this as well, PM'd Joe about it in fact. If I were brokering this I wouldn't be quite so exuberant. Although in this froth I wonder if it will sit long. Some prefer, if nothing else, the color.

 

The fillm sure makes it look arancia to me!

 

advertised for a long time... he has no chance to sell it at this price actually, what so ever is the story of this 1 owner car...

look at one of my previous posts (previous page), I'm relaying a P400 for much less than 1M €...

 

i am not following the miuras closely as they are out of my league but indeed at close to $3MM that would be quite a jump from the last numbers i saw no that long ago. but who knows.
Someone speculated that a lot of black far east money is seeking heaven in foreign exotics staying in foreign countries(hint china).that could explain a lot of the non sense going on, but I have no fact about this.

 

I could be wrong but my understanding is that the "foreign countries" couldn't care less about old exotics. They want the latest and greatest Rollers and Maseratis to be chauffeured around in while the younger set mostly has eyes for new metal only.

 

Anybody knows where this car ended?
