I saw that car last thursday at AUTO SPORT in Modena. THere are 3 Miuras currently under resto. ...does this satisfy you, Roy???? Ciao! Walter
Is it true as reported to me that it is car #1??? Are they being restored for sale, or private party?? Frank had no answer for me.
But is it #1...OR do you know...?? And I guess unless your OWN the car, then there is always a way to get it... LOL LOL Nice bitter Day to you as well HA HA
Ovios 69! Yes, thats the one! (that shows Miura 0961 and the Monza). Thankyou for that. Walter we have the answer. Sorry, I wish I had a better res of that image of my old 5064 :-( Joe www.joesackey.com
- The first Miura built ("Miura # 001" if you like) is chassis number 0509. This car is the first of a small series of pre-production prototype cars with a chassis number prefix "0". 5 pre-production prototypes were built if you count the very first car also. 0509 was destroyed and no longer exists. - The first production Miura built (with a chassis number prefix "1") is chassis number 1006, now being restored at Bobileff's for a UK-based client. These early production cars with a "1" chassis number prefix are seen as Bertone's trial production units by some and just 13 of them were bulit before the "3" prefix chassis number cars of production proper began. A sublime example of a trial production Miura is 1021 as owned by our very own Alberto. - The car pictured in post # 652 is in fact the same car in post # 645: Chassis number 0961, a pre-production prototype, the very same car given by Ferruccio Lamborghini to Don Eduardo Miura himself (the pair are variously pictured together with the car in Seville at Don Miura's Miura Bull breeding ranch). It is not the first pre-production prototype Miura or the first production Miura. This car was inspected at Top Motors in Nonantollah - Ex-factory foreman Orazio Salvioli's place - last August, and was then inspected again last September at Carrozzeria Autosport in Bastiglia, where it is now. Apparently, it is being restored back to its original "Argento Indianapolis" (Indianapolis Silver) from some shade of blue it had been repainted. I am told that the car is most positively not for sale, but Ive been told that before... You will note from the image in post #652 that it still does not have the holes for the small circular turn-signal flashers in the front fenders, just as was the case at the Barcelona Motor Show at which it was imaged in 1967 (below). Hope Ive shared some useful information. Joe www.joesackey.com Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes thank you, that is why I asked.... I have not the knowledge of it... I am sure it will be very nice and make a owner very happy when it is done. Glad to see another coming back to life!
Another Miura in Italy. This time its Bertone's own Miura P400S 4425. The same car that was much-photographed for Pasini's Miura book. Joe www.joesackey.com Image Unavailable, Please Login
Miura #1 was destroyed by all accounts, got run over by a truck. Not likely to be that car unless it was "restored" from a chassis plate. Do you have or can you get the chassis number for it? Alberto
Correcto. It was indeed "run over" by a truck with Wallace bailing out just in time. Lore has it its remains just sat at the back of the factory amongst other destroyed cars that had suffered testing 'mishaps' until Mimran or a subsequent head of the company intructed that all the 'rubbish' be thrown away! The chassis number for that car is variously reported as "0509", and thats the way its typed on the factory's own Miura production register that I have in my archives. But....thats in fact wrong. I also possess Ingrid Pussich's very original hand-written notebook pages from which the typed list was formatted, and it is very clear from her hand-written text that the car's true number was "0502".....easy to see how the typist could have mis-read the "2" and typed in "9". The mind boggles as to the possibility of other 'mistakes'. OK I know Im boring you to tears with all this nonsense. Aplologies. Joe www.joesackey.com
Thanks for sharing that. Do you mind if we document it on the Lamborghini Registry? Joe www.joesackey.com
Oops I misunderstood your question. The car in the image at Carrozzeria Autosport in Bastiglia (post # 652) is in fact chassis number 0961, the ex-Don Eduardo Miura pre-production prototype. Inspected at Top Motors last August and at Autosport last September. Correct, it is not "Miura # 1". Sorry. Joe www.joesackey.com
An interesting print sent to me of the one-and-only Miura SVR done when the car was owned by Hiromitsu I (Tomei Motors) Joe www.joesackey.com Image Unavailable, Please Login
