Correct. It is Miura P400 1006, actually Giallo Verde, LHD, black sills, wipers to passenger side, also here https://www.lp112.com/Lamborghini/Detail.asp?Model=Miura&Version=P400&ChassisNumber=1006 Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not always, for example, Miura P400 1051 https://www.lp112.com/Lamborghini/Detail.asp?Model=Miura&Version=P400&ChassisNumber=1051 Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is another image showing the wipers facing driver's side. Generally they did face the passenger side, but I learned a long time ago there are no absolutes with Miura production Image Unavailable, Please Login
Easy mistake to make, the only reason I immediately knew this was a LHD car was because we deliberated over this series of images for my 2007 Miura book, and, a few years later I discovered 1006 in a Southern California lock-up all disassembled and subsequently sold it, so I know the car. That said, if you really study the first image Christian provided, you can see the steering is sitting off to the left and the Miura badge is placed correctly on the right rear tail, the latter ruling out the possibility the image was flipped. That said, I freely admit my memory is better than my eyes.
Not important, the picture is NOT HR. IT can be confusing I understand that. So now I m ready to be politician? This is important and dangerous at the same time....

Rod the Mod is a lucky, lucky Lambo owning sod! His white SV 'JLL 831K' has just emerged from a restoration with its new owner
JLL 831K is a P400S which in recent years was made to look like a P400SV, in blue. LUC 38K ^^^^ is the Yellow P400SV he owned.
Beautifully restored back to original guise, thankfully, the first RHD Miura restored by Polo Storico? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Our former SV 5064 which we fully restored @ 17 years ago, imaged this past week, it looks as nice as she did the day we sold her 15 years ago, fond memories of driving it on a rally keeping up with Diablos Image Unavailable, Please Login
LUC 38K = 4818. Rod is also said to have owned P400SV 4866 which I believe is in the last pic in P5BNij's post above.
Yes you can barely make that out as the resolution of the image is low, however it is the other image of 1006 that definitely corroborates LHD
Miura SVR? This is one Miura that I had not heard of before.... sounds like a very interesting story. Here is the factory press release: Sant’Agata Bolognese/Nakayama (Japan), 21 June 2018 – Lamborghini Polo Storico has completed restoration of one of the most famous Miuras ever built: the Miura SVR. On the occasion of its delivery, the car was also exhibited at Japan’s Nakayama Circuit. As is well-documented, only 763 Lamborghini Miuras were produced, between 1966 and 1972, at the company’s plant in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy. The number of Miuras built outside of Sant’Agata, however, is much greater, as numerous model car manufacturers have created a scale version of what is one of the most iconic vehicles in automobile history. Among these was Japan’s Kyosho, which produced 1:18 scale models of both the Lamborghini Miura SV and Miura SVR. The Kyosho SVR, in particular, has achieved legendary status among collectors, since it depicts one of the most astonishing Lamborghinis ever built, the Miura SVR: a race car evolution of the fabled Jota developed by Lamborghini test driver Bob Wallace, which was even featured in the Japanese manga “Circuit Wolf”. After Wallace’s Jota was lost in an accident, incessant customer demand in the following years led Automobili Lamborghini to build a few Miura SVJ models and - remarkably - a single Miura SVR. The latter was eventually sold in Japan, where it served as the “model” for both the vehicle used in the comic book and the Kyosho toy version. The car is the Miura SVR chassis number #3781, which has been returned to its former splendor by the Polo Storico specialists, and exhibited during an event organized in its honor at Nakayama Circuit in Japan. The Miura with chassis number #3781, engine number 2511 and body number 383 was born as an S version painted in trademark Verde Miura with black interior. It was originally delivered to the Lamborauto dealership in Turin, Italy, on 30 November 1968, following its display at the 50th Turin Motor Show. After changing hands eight times in Italy, the vehicle was bought in 1974 by German Heinz Straber, who took it back to Sant’Agata in order to have it transformed in an SVR - a job that required 18 months of work. In 1976 the car was sold to Hiromitsu Ito and made its way to Japan, where it caused quite a sensation, including the inspiration for the Circuit Wolf” comic book series. The vehicle’s legend was further cemented when it was chosen by Kyosho as the base for its renowned scale model, whose lines and colors made this SVR an indelible part of toy car lore. Paolo Gabrielli, Lamborghini Head of After Sales and Director of the Polo Storico, said: “The full restoration took 19 months and required a different approach to the way we normally work. The original production sheet wasn’t of much help, as we relied mostly on the specifications from the 1974 modifications. The challenge for the Polo Storico team was even more daunting as the car arrived in Sant’Agata in pieces, although the parts were all there, and with considerable modifications. The only variations on the original specifications were the addition of 4-point safety belts, more supportive seats and a removable roll bar. These were expressly requested by the customer and are intended to improve safety during the car’s racetrack exhibitions.” Image Unavailable, Please Login
Really? Never heard of the Miura SVR before? It's well-covered in the famous Colrin-Marchet book (surely you have read that) and it been featured all over the internet for many years. It's one of the most famous Lamborghinis of all time, a Miura hot-rod built by the factory in the mid 70's well after Miura production had ended, in fact it's closer in spirit to Bob Wallace's original Jota than any of the SVJ cars (FWIW the last Miura Jota ever built by the Lamborghini factory was still yet 10 years later for factory CEO & owner Patrick Mimran), here's another link: https://www.lamborghini.com/en-en/news/polo-storico-restored-rarest-miura-ever It was famous for debuting the then-new Pirelli P7s, but it seems they have restored it with Avons!
