Joe, yes, of course some cars need a resto! But a sensible one, one that kept the atmosphere of the car, the auro of the 60ies, when getting a girl was easy..! And, btw,I love silver Miuras. Stunning color for them. But the first genuine color of each example are always superiour for me. Ciao! Walter
Walter, You are absolutely right. As the cars have become valuable, first genuine color its should always have. BTW - The cliche of the 60s was: "When hair was long, miniskirts were short, and anything was possible!" ;-) Very Best, Joe Sackey California www.lamborghiniregistry.com
........well, made a lot of stupid things then - but it was wonderfull!! Drivin`my Dad`s SV to University with my hair going to my butt! My "Spring Break" leasted for years!!! Ciao! Walter
I saw this car at Ron Miller's museum in Norman years ago. It was then white with gold and, while in virtually perfect condition, looked less than stunning. White is not the best color for a Miura. While I MUCH prefer originality in exotic cars, I think the switch to the Pistachio green in this case was a good one! It really looks stunning in the breath-taking green. David
As Ive already said, today I can only bring myself to restore in original livery. The cars are just too valuable to change anything. But 8 years ago, hen I got 5064, who cared? It was 6 different shades of tired old white paint on the bodywork, and the white leather interior was just plain awful (who orders a car with a white leather interior??? Obviously, playboy scions, third-world dictators...and numerous pimps did ;-)). So someone suggested the boring white had to go and be replaced with something of actual color. Lime Green was the choice. Bold, yes, but better than...white, especially on a Miura. Today, I simply would pass on owning a car that was built in a livery I couldnt live with.
