1972 Lamborghini Miura SVJ Bertone V12 driven by the famous test driver Valentino Balboni at Villa d'Este.
Listen how the V12 sound compares to period V12 Ferraris.

Oops.
Giugiaro said. “Gandini took my sketches and finished the car – 70% of it is mine.”
Read the article here.
"The mid-engined sports car was supposed to go to Bizzarrini, but Nuccio Bertone decided to offer it to Lamborghini instead. Giorgetto’s successor at Bertone, Marcello Gandini, completed the car… Giorgetto’s contribution is often overlooked."

Part two of the story here
"Work began on constructing the prototype’s body in January 1966, and there wasn’t even time to do proper drawings of the interior, says Stroppa. Gandini’s rough sketches became the basis for an interior to be constructed “on the run”, while Stroppa worked on the design of the wheels and the famous Miura logo."

Think I've posted on this thread before. But I had one back in 2009 and used it pretty much daily in the early days of ownership, tales of the nose going very light at speed was researched and proved to be true. How test drivers pushed them to 160+ is beyond me.
Sold it when the value had increased by 100% in about 24mnths and it wasn't getting used much at all, and oddly the last time I drove it was in the snow when it was the first thing on the drive and was heading out for Sunday lunch in bright winter sunshine and came out a few hours later to find about 6" of snow had fallen whilst I had been stuffing my face.

Couldn't find a general Miura thread hence this one. Never seen anyone driving a Miura like this before,
