"Photos are for sharing", he says. Now that's a guy.


Verde Chiaro at speed.


Mister FL and his masterpiece.


It is really a low 60s racer, note the doors: like devils horns.


Mister Miura himself: THAT car with your name, just imagine!


I doubt if he liked it. He doesn't look carbuff nuff to me.


Bully better stay away from that Lambo.


With the wheel between your knees.


Press launch.

There's more . . .

A Ferrari if you want to be somebody, a Miura when you are somebody.


Miles Davis had 2 Miura's, raced NYC streets at night. Wrecked one and went to the Lambo shop to get a new one wink


Love those vintage shots. Hints of GT40, Lotus Europa . . . Lines are just perfect.


Press launch Barcelona 1972.


You rarely see a Miura with the lights up.


FL being proud next to his SV.


I dunno who these pics belong to but they sure provide me some moments.

More . . .

Nice roughlooking Miura, love golden wheels . . .


. . . a colour that repeats nicely on the Webers intakes.


Mr. F's autograph to watch over perfect gearchanges. Lock on R.


Wot!? No Pirelli's?


Jota means über Miura.


Inside it's all yum in Italian taste.


THAT V12, legendary . . . Sound is illegal but WTF!


Baby, all this a few inches from your ears.

That prototype chassis is the only Miura to have wire wheels and contrary to popular belief it and the engine in the pic are very much alive and in perfect condition, the chassis is slightly shorter than production so will never be skinned, at least the last time I spoke to the owner that is what he said.

You might know what happened to that 350GT convertible, as seen on those chassis snaps?

No, sorry, I know where the Miura chassis is, still on the wire wheels! but not any of the others, the show chassis was supposed to be destroyed but someone got it out from the factory through crossed wires and a bit of luck.

Did you ever see the Jota Chris Lawrence built (is that the one in the pics in this thread?) I saw that when it was 90% finished and he told the story about the wheels on being the only other set that were made for the original car and were still in the stores at the factory, Chris made some stunning Maserati 450s look a likes as well he was an artist r.i.p. mate

Classic beauty.


Lamborghini never did a racing version, and the ones that raced - converted - were not succesfull.


Knocking on heaven's door.


It looks great ton-sur-ton: gold 'n orange.


I prefer the knock-offs but hey: they don't make 'em like this anymore.


Same with these: some sight to open the rear for.


Mr. F and his core business . . .


. . . and with a model Miura.


The room is still there, amazing to see what is now several millions worth of classic Lamborghini.

The first Miura's came with four same width tires.

Big difference in follow up.

More Jota fun:


Early Miura's had same width tires all round, check Jay Leno's vids.


Not beautifull, more purposefull.


An office as I like 'em.


OMG what nice.
