    Hey Guys
    I was at a car show in the North of Scotland yesterday. An elderly gentleman was intorduced to me who used to be the head mechanic at a lambo dealer in Yorkshire. He had a boot full of old lambo stuff and was keen in fell into the right hands. I had asked Carlo McCrindle to come chat to the gentleman with me. Together we bought everything he had.
    I have spoken to Colin Clark in London about the items and understand some stuff may be quite rare.
    Joe:
    He had an original factory workshop manual for the Muira and a complete original parts book. Only Table 17 isn't there. Colin says his is a copy of a copy with lots of pages missing
    He also had two copies of the special tools book. I am giving the parts manual and one book to Colin for free to keep and make available to UK Muira owners

    Espada: he had originial paint colour and trim colur sample swatches in a lambo Espada/ Urraco card.
    A series 3 brochure
    A parts manual with the various chassis change alterations table

    Urraco; complete parts / workshop manual

    Jarama: two colour swatches

    WE ARE NOT SELLING THIS! I promised it would be put to good use and for people in the club to use. We paid £200 for it all and this was NOT FOR PROFIT

    Does anyone need anything? Can we use this for information? Let me know what people think. The idea is NOT TO GIVE IT TO PEOPLE TO HOARD in a collection. i reckon some of this will be quite rare and may help owners

    I am just about to embark on the interior of my Espada and would love to see the leather swatches ? I would borrow it tell my interior guy to match and then return it for the next person if thats possible ?
    Suggest something.

    Not sure what you have in mind, but I would like to get my hands on a copy of the special tools books if possible. Please contact me to discuss. I have an idea that would make it widely available to Miura owners for free.

    Hi
    I met Colin Clarke yesterday in London when I picked up my Khamsin form him after it's engine rebuild and gave him one copy of the special tools book and the original Muira parts book. The one i gave him went to page 33 and only had page 17 missing although it looked as if it had never been there! Colin was going to check against his photocopies as he reckoned there were pages he hadnt seen before.
    When Del Hopkins Retired he gave Colin a box of special tools some of which he had no idea what they were to be used for! Hopefully now he can compare them and work it out.
    It would take me a week or so to scan the book and make copies available. I suppose I could upload them all to a photobucket account and post the password and username on here to allow people access?
    Any other ideas?
    For the Espada colour swatches will try and upload a high quality scan and post a link to it and see if it works. Think the issue is things borrowed tend to get lost and not sure if circulating is the best idea? Open to suggestions though
    Joe, everything ok? Colin says you have been very quiet of late and wondered if you were well?

    A good idea. I'd like a copy of the special tools as well (I've "re-engineered" quite a few of them out of necessity but it would be good to see all the originals). I am missing Tavola XXVI from the Workshop Manual (apparently shows the apparatus for installing the engine in the car).

    The missing Table 17 (Tavola XVII) is a diagram of a valve spring compressor that is available here:

    Thanks to our own P400 (Craig).
