I saw my first Miura in person yesterday..

I have obsessed over this car since I was a kid.. I don't think I've ever been so overwhelmed looking at a car. It really is a stunner.

Excellent and very plausible reason why the seats were switched. In my opinion you nailed the only question left.

I've had a Muira with white seats and I can tell you that marking the white seat is always on your mind. I've also been on many film sets. We have an historic home that is used a lot in films, and the crews are trained whenever possible to avoid damage they have to pay for later. They are always looking to replace antique chairs in our home with replicas bc of the wear and tear they take during the repeative use during multiple takes.

 

Was that the blue Muira? Hands down the most stunning color I have ever seen on an automobile.

 

Yes. Letting her go was one of my big mistakes. The world record price that I would never see again turned into a car id never see again for that price.

Hi everyone,

I just pointed out that two Miuras from period movies bear a similar vintage Lamborghini sticker:

- The one from "La Leçon Particulière" in 1968 at 4:42
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXhcH_MCqtE]La leçon particulière (1968) - YouTube[/ame]

- The one from "L'homme Orchestre" in 1970 at 1:57
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJX-n_7a8og]L homme orchestre La course dans Nice - YouTube[/ame]

From the headrest, I think that in both cases this is an early Miura with vinyl interior.

I wonder if those stickers were applied from the factory or at a dealership and if anyone has on clue on these?

I also wonder if it is the same car? From the pictures, it is quite difficult to tell because of many things:
- the one from the early movie has no rear view mirrors while the other has some.
- on the second picture, the sticker seems to be a little worn on the upper left angle.
- the interior and exterior colours seem to be slightly different. But it might be that the lightening was different. Just as it was demonstrated with the "Italian Job Miura" thread.
- there is an italian car and a french (06 - Alpes Maritimes?) car.
- one has no eyelashes.

But all of these could also happen during the car's life since the two fillms were shooted two years from each other.

imo it's a similar (or the same) sticker as was on the Jota, so probably those were available at the time, likely from the factory. (?)

 

I also think it is the same than on the Jota. By the way, I just remembered that I also saw it on the Conan Doyle car.

Ed,
it was the demo car of V.P.M.

Edmond Ciclet (by that time, chief mechanic) drove the car for the production of the movie with a wig, instead of Nathalie Delon when she was cracking the gears...

The stickers were available at the factory, because it was that logo - the 1st one - used on all the headletters.

Edmond Ciclet sticked then himself.

So you get the answer... part of the content of my book...

 

Very Cool poster that I was thinking of buying, but $660 for a mass produced poster? Wow, the bubble has migrated to posters of the cars now?
