    Yes (assuming youre speaking of Miura SV 5096). From one freind of mine to another. The current owner Christian B is a discerning collector of impeccable taste as it turns out. He is also a pretty good Illinois-based home for the car.

    The only magazine I still buy every month.

    I am cutting on other magazines because I don't have a warehouse for all that paper and I don't have time to read them all...

    Yes, I re-read the article many times and when I started to come across actual cars shortly thereafter, I was thankful that they were not all supplied with white interiors!

    I just found out that the orange Jota-modified P400Sfrom Japan has a fuel-injected Miura engine! You never know what some will come up with on their days off..... :)

    What was I thinking with that non-original shade of blue?
    Anyway, I think youre being kind with your compliments. Bertone painted them in lime green, but they never used blue leather that light/bright. There were two shades of blue: a darker bright blue (as in my current 4884) and a dark almost black blue.

    I learned a lot restoring 5064. Even more with 4870.... I was ready for 4884 and I think I finally got an authentic restoration right. Im thrilled with it, but what a journey its been!

    That car will always be a favorite. The blue may not be original but it complements the green wonderfully.

    What were the conditions of these Miura's like, before you decided to "restore" them

    The first modern supercar perhaps. You cannot overlook cars like the Stutz Bearcat, or the Auburn Speedsters or the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. All are the definition of the supercar, expensive, stylish, ultra-performance road cars that were the symbols of the elite and the wealthy and the fervently desired dreams of young men everywhere in their day.

    Uh-oh. Here comes the Supercar fight...........

    Well, all I can say is buy the current April issue of Classic & Sportscar and see what this respected magazine chose as the absolute number one Dream Car of all time - both pre war and post war :)
