    It's one of the best opportunities at an early Miura I have seen in recent times, and the pricing allows you finish the restoration to the high standard it deserves.

    The Miura is automotive art in it's purest form, so an authentic restoration to original spec is the most respectful, rewarding and prudent way, the latter an important consideration as completely restored this'll be a 7-figure car.

    Part of the work is done and all of the engine components appear to be present, so this looks like a nice project

    Doesn’t look like they are selling a complete car? Just the chassis engine and some suspension components?

    For me it seems like hell of work, must difficult part will be to find interior and trim parts!
    Futhermore if you go into details, this car will be never like it was finished by factory.

    IMO there is a reason why someone sells a project in this state...

    would it even be possible to find original parts for this?

    Correct, plus battered hoods etc

    Of course, any restoration is a lot of work which takes focus, commitment & resources, that said, no risk no reward.

    People sell half-completed restoration projects all the time, in fact I can think of at least another Miura that is currently available half-completed, the owner has simply lost interest and wants to do something else. In the past I can recall personally selling 2 different half-completed Miuras, both of which are completed cars today restored to concours condition to original spec. I can also think of a couple of Ferraris that have won @ Pebble Beach after coming back from the dead from much less than this! IMHO there is no reason why the car cannot be completed like it was finished by the factory, if someone is determined to do so. Some people take great pride in rescuing automotive works of art, however, that process is clearly not for everyone.

    Yes, it might take time but with a good network in Italy it can be done

    hopefully that happens and we get to see the final product.



    on a side note, anyone know the history of the Miura "SVJ" that BC (on instagram) is having restored? i think its supposed to debut for one of the big california car shows in a year or two or something like that

    The current work being done may be driven by the new owner's desire to return the car to it's original white livery, you'll also note from his IG page that BC appears to appreciate white cars

    SVJs have always been controversial, with debates ranging from whether the particular car was purpose-built on the production line or modified after initial completion as an SV, and whether it was built during Miura production or just after production had ended etc.

    If you're in the market for one of the factory SVJs, you simply do your homework and decide.

    I know a couple of SVJs that have changed hands recently.

    My dream Mira was the SVJ #4860. I had the privilege to broker it to Japan in 2000 in a very funny deal.
    I test drove it flat out on the German Autobahn together with the Japaneese representative of its next owner, who went nuts co-driving with that speed! HAH! BAAAANZAI!
    The other car I brokered twice was #5054. It was in lovely original condition, was only driven by the then time 2nd owner G.S. (Germany) and myself for about 400 km. When I saw it unused 4 years later the car needed a full restoration...
    I brokered the car to its 3rd owner D.H. (Germany) who started the resto but sold it little later...

    5064.

    FWIW this is an SV we rescued & restored @ 18 years ago, it remains just as restored, and has lived since 2003 in a prominent collection of mostly Italian race & vintage cars

    Joe,
    is it still in the land of the rising sun? EU? USA?

    This car in flashy silver looked fantastic!
    It lost its rear bonnet when owned by the widow of Blatzheim, the 2nd (?) owner. She drove it and the rear bonnet opened and was taken away by the wind. It was transported to the factory where it got a new rear hood.
