    I don't recall, but I could look it up, I thought Bobby was very reasonable, I wasn't the only one who thought that as his workshop benches had two Ferrari 512 BBLM race engines being rebuilt for the vintage racing guys at the same time as mine

    After the summer I'll have a bit more time, I do recall Bobby's invoices coming through by fax!

    Great. Did Bob Wallace do the full resto on 4870 or was Gary Bobileff involved also?

    Bobby only did the engine rebuild, at that point he did not accept full restorations.

    My mom had a similar one. The Fiat, not the Miura... She called it the Lamborghini because of the colour!

    I had a same color 500 as well. I found it in a rural newspaper add, siting in a little metal shed. The car had about 500 miles on it & was brought back after a trip to Rome. They could not register it, so it sat until me. I sold it with close to 1000 miles several years later. :)

    Just saw an episode of Chasing Classic Cars where Wayne was inspecting a Miura - and commented that despite being Italian, the design and development were done by an "American" - Bob Wallace. Heh.

    Not that one - this one, but they cut it short before he comments about Bob Wallace:

    The last time 4870 was restored was by me through Bobileff. After many adventures when I was in my early 30s and single ;) Image Unavailable, Please Login

    IIRC, the young lady's heritage complimented the provenance of the car.

    Just re read the very interesting history of the car on Simon Kidston's excellent www.miuraregister.com. Bobileff restored it more than once then and more in line with its original standard spec in your ownership?
