Emilio: This one (4894) Milan-registered MI.91884A has a well-known owner in Italy and lives near you. Please note the unpainted three-eared spinners also... Image Unavailable, Please Login
From a 1972 movie, this would be a brand new SV. Note the dark blue interior with velour inserts... Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Can anyone confirm what country this plate is from? I believe the car is in Madrid so perhaps this is a Spanish dealer plate?? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Spanish dealer plates, probably the same at the "Primer Concurso Internacional de Elegancia, Madrid". I would say it's Heiderich's car... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Joe, it is so beautiful it HURTS! ...even more now that i know it is here and has original plates on :-o i wonder if the owner would be interested in a trade for a couple of other lambos.....
I would say the same: Chassis number 4958 Engine number 30669 (split sump unit) Factory air-conditioning Argento Indianapolis Pelle Nero nr. 8500 Orulla Spagna (Ben Heiderich) The late Ben Heiderich advised me a few years before he passed away that he collected this car at Sant Agata and drove it directly to Madrid. Thanks Antonio for your confirmation.
Im sure you have all seen pictures of this before. Not sure how many races it ran in. The first is from Magny cours. It raced mainly in 1971. What a beast!!!.

This one could use some TLC. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I suspect they merely placed the rear bonnet on the car and did not actually connect it correctly, hence they needed to support the rear so it stays in place.
Another review. There must be dozens published, many of which are remarkably generic such as this one. I'm still embarrassed by the "Bible" title, but it was the publisher's choice. When I sent the finished book off to be published, I though we would sell a few copies to a few Miura fans. How wrong I was! We are now on our second edition already and are in multiple languages.

Ive been contacted by Miura owners and enthusiasts worldwide offering some insights they feel I left out of the first printing. If you have any input at all, Im only too pleased to consider it for the next printing, and continue to advance the received information with any future printings... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ive had several e-mails on this car. Just to clarify, I do not have this particular Miura SV available...
I'm glad to hear there still that much interest in the restoration side of the miura's. How are the prices holding up?
I think Miuras have held up better than some classics, even though most seem to have corrected off last year's high by 30% or so...
