Miura, the original supercar

Arancio Canguro = Rosso Miura

The Canguro was just mentioned on the PPG label. It's how they keep it in their internal system.

Similar like they use Verde Scandal which equals Verde Miura.
Basically all of those names are OEM descriptions.

BTW I'm now about 95% sure that both colours I've created samples for were used as Verde Miura. However it also seems that most cars were done in the lighter version.

Will post back after I find more. I'll ask reconfirmation on this at the factory.

 

Paul,
will you be kind to make a close pic of the sketch Rosso Miura, I can't read the sticker...

 

Will do Olivier.
BTW I'm continuing my quest for the Verde Miura details, I now found that the colour description for the darker green should probably be "Verde Chiaro" also called Pistachio Verde.
I think it was also used on the Urraco and Espada.
Tomorrow I'll be in touch with Sant'Agata again to cross check with the trim & paint specialist.

Also, correction, 3rd one is not #4217, but #4127.

Hi all !!
I came across this picture from Miura 4440;

That looks like a Japanese supplementary (post-production/non-factory) ID plate, which makes sense because this Miura is last known to me to reside in Japan.

The location of that plate would be visible from the windscreen.

4440 was originally Oro Metallizzato, but was repainted Arancio. These images are from it in Japan.

Just wondering if these cars were manageable back in the day. Did you need weekly service? Things break easy? Did Rod Stewart have to stop for petrol twice a day?

 

Just watched the video with Balboni and Innochenti the black Miura 1973, its on Simon Kidston web site, it is absolutly fantastic, what a car, what a setting.one word, Epic. is there anything automotive wich stirs emotions like an old Lamborghini?

 

so special and rare

 

Opel GT Jota, what a monster.
