"The Lamborghini Miura" by Simon Kidston

My copy is 298/300, which makes it appear all, or close to all, 300 were printed. Are there copies numbered 1XX and lower?

 

My copy has number 290

 

I found my answer.

 

So weird they started from 200 upwards ??!!

Years from now collectors will assume all 300 were printed as a result of the numbering but now we know the truth.

 

My copy is no 295.

 

Of only 100 have been printed thus far, then perhaps those were copies 201-300?

 

Correct, my point exactly.

 

I'll believe it when I'll see it, I have not seen numbers lower than 290

 

Just for you: #276

A copy of La Jota Di Hahne is for sale. The price is steep.

Also, in this brief article Wilhelm Hahne, brother of Hubert Hahne, gives his impression upon receiving copy no. 222, “[The book] was sensitively developed by a "crazy" for "crazy", for those who have a special relationship with such an automobile.”

It wouldn't surprise me if 'Fondazione Negri', the publisher, did not finalize production of all 300 copies of the edition. At some stage their website mentioned that the remaining copies would be available 'shortly', as the books were hand-made. After some time lapse the book disappeared from the website. I guess, those in possession should treasure their copy.

 

So £975 for one out of a hundred…that’s a smaller increase than the Kidston Miura book.

 

Keep in mind that this price is based on the common understanding that it’s “one out of three hundred.” Even so, your point still stands that it has appreciated less than the Kidston book. I think it’s been said before that books on a specific chassis number aren’t as sought after.

 

I have di hahne book #273, and #574 of the miura book and also miura register and sackey Miura book and dino compendium newer version as well as the 550 book and eb110 book imsa edition. whats a good way to clean the nice slipcase on di hahne book? i keep all of my books, also two copies of d24 e sport lancia, one with the flimsy slipcase and one without. Jose, Miami.

 

A clean, dry microfiber cloth works well. I also usually wash my hands and throughly dry them before handling delicate materials like the di hahne slip case. Slipcases for the 550 Prodrive and Miura register are much more forgiving.

 

I see the Jota di hahne book has a similar mark up on it now as the original Miura book... well not quite

Selling for around 900 UK Pound.

 

Selling (or auctioned) or asking?

 

Haven't seen enough on the market for sale to get a definitive guide yet.

Could just be speculators

 

Well somebody some book dealer in Canada selling imsa edition eb110 Bugatti book for about 1thousand or 2,000 CAD approx.

 

Understandable. With the low print number, it will most likely always be a case of "go find another one".

 

I think, Belgravia Books is just doing a little bit of window dressing: 9 out 10 books presented on their website cannot be purchased when you click on them, including the Jota di Hahne book.

 

Belgravia Books does not stock any of these titles. They are in possession of the owner, BB has them on consignment and will not send them out of the UK.

 

Unless they finally get around to printing the remaining copies of La Jota Di Hahne I think I've missed the boat on that one.

It's a nice book to add to my five or so Miura books in my collection but not 900 Pounds worth... or anything like it.

 

I don’t see the price coming down unless the other 200 arrive which seems unlikely. Or does it?!!

I don’t understand what happened here !

300 numbered becomes only 100 numbered all between 200 & 300.
