    .... and all the ZN75 parts still survive and are stored, even if they didn't follow the Miura Roadster... its current owner would better to collect them, as it all belongs in one single historical package to that car...

    Our client Sir Michael Kadoorie flat out in his one-owner-from new Blu Notte Metallizzato Miura S a Hong Kong tunnel!

    The smile on the passenger's face conveys the sound.

    Sir Michael behind the wheel of his beloved Miura S, pic by Darryl Chapman.

    I am often asked if I know anyone purchased a new Miura who still has it.

    I personally know 2 people who purchased Miuras directly from Sant Agata who still have them today.

    Sir Michael ordered his car in early1969 built to his exacting specifications (including Islero-type door jamb reflectors), picked up at the factory himself after walking it down the assembly line the last few days, waved a cheery goodbye to Bobby Wallace after he had test-driven it and handed over the keys, drove it out of the factory gates, and still owns it.

    Hong Kong-registered AC 7.

    Chassis number 4311, fitted with engine number 30416, production number 446, finally collected by Sir Michael at Sant Agata Bolognese on the 19th of August 1969.

    Bleu Notte Metallizzato and Naturale (tan - wild boar) leather, silver wheels & sills.

    Sir Michael graciously flew it from Hong Kong to our Miura Reunion in Monterey, California in 2000 on the basis of a phone call, easily winning the farthest travelled award!

    Here is a photo of 4946 with its previous owner. Appears to be the infield of Laguna Seca prior to the track revisions in 1988.

    Does anyone recognize him? I would love to ask him some questions about another Miura he used to own.

    For anyone who was at Concorso last year, the only SV in attendance is this same car. It spent a few years in the Netherlands and Portugal before returning to the US and being converted back to its original red exterior.

    Stunning work on it.

    I really like the colour combination except the front grille which is painted in gold metallic.

    By the way here is a nice video from Davide Cironi about the Miura Jota.

    For whose you don't know him, the person interviewed is Giancarlo Barbieri, who was head of engine test bench...

    He is a very smart guy, and the location where it has been recorded is in the closest official workshop Giancarlo Breveglieri at Crevalcore, 5km away from the factory...

    Superb video. Needs translation for those who don't do Italian beyond the most basic!

    I love what he says about the Countach Downdraft, but he's preaching to the choir as far as I'm concerned.

    Was it RHD originally or changed from LHD to RHD?

    As far as I know 4311 was RHD originally for its single owner.

    Has it actually been determined that 3372 was Rod Stewart's Miura now? I'm not saying it wasn't his, and it could well have been, but I thought it required more investigation when discussed a little while back.

    4866 was actually his last Miura, a Left-Hand-Drive SV he purchased and kept in Beverly Hills at a time he already owned 4818 which remained in the UK.
