    Pictures of the car in white with gold wheels and sills on the www.miuraregister.com. Stunning combination.

    No longer there but I am not permitted to state it's current whereabouts publicly

    Rest assured that combination is not my first choice either, but that was 18 years ago, having said that, the car turned out superb and ran as good as it looks, I recall taking it on a 750-mile rally where I kept up with Diablos and other modern machinery @ triple digit speeds

    Indeed 5064 as I mentioned a few posts ago, and I agree that combination is a stunning one, however it didn't seem to work for a car with the large USA side-markers and I was persuaded to change the livery. That singular non-original colors experience caused me to favor keeping to original livery, which I did with my subsequent restoration of SV 4884, and other cars. One's taste evolves with time.

    Here is a pic of 5064 which I drove slowly onto a silica sand quarry at risk of getting stuck just to make this image!

    Fun times and just good to know it found a long-term home

    I haven’t seen any SV’s advertised for sale for about a year. Here’s one that’s probably one of the best based on the shops involved in the restoration. Looks great in orange. Joe you had clients looking for an SV. But would they spend the almost $3.6MM on this example?

    4854.

    We were kindly offered it before it came to the market, but my clients passed.

    On the knock-offs of the wheels and on the thicker front grill in the front bonnet you can clearly identify this example as a german spec version.

    I don’t know if it’s the pictures or the car but that looks brand new.

    Supplied by the works in Luci Del Bosco.

    "Coachwork supplier Bertone’s production records reveal that ‘4854’ was originally painted Arancio Miura, whilst the Lamborghini factory archive documents reveal that it was finally delivered to the customer in Luci del Bosco (‘lights of the forest’, a mid-brown) – a typical last-minute overpaint made in period to keep clients happy.

    The leather interior was Goby leather (‘sand’) with a contrasting dash and tunnel in Moro (brown) and Goby carpets – a combination confirmed by Bertone’s records and the one in which the car is presented today"

    I know it’s just good pictures but this has to be the best spec miura. Why would anyone cover that orange with brown

    That rolling chassis got me thinking. How far from death is it possible to bring back these cars. Let’s say with the value of the car still being worth the repair costs. Would it ever be possible to restore that yellow car in London that famously caught on fire? Has that already been done?

    It was the other way round, the brown (Luci Del Bosco) was covered with orange before it left the factory.

    Luci Del Bosco is actually a metallic brown color, IMHO it looks fantastic on a Miura SV

    Personally, I have to say that these days, I would stick to the color the factory delivered the new car in.

    Yes, 2 years ago I was made to understand, it was happening.

    Meanwhile Ive seen other severely burned Miuras come back from the ashes, 5008 and 5078 among them, it's basically a matter of time & resources

    I guess its world record. But the time is quite good for a Miura SV sale. The current demand is higher than the number of available cars...

    Thats why the LP400 currently lost value, cause too many cars are on the market, too many cars in restoration and shortly after for sale.
    Quite unhealty for the market... and there are a few in the pipeline which are available soon.

    I have more photos of the frame, but i keep them for me, cause it looked really badly. As i stated, i know this car since early 2000s, it was really rotten away in the Kauss museum.

    But with an intensiv restoration like in this case, all this problems should be well sorted.
