The replica would be the one for the looks. The real Miura experience it is not.
What about this one.

1966 LAMBORGHINI 400 GT Monza (1 Made)
The one-off Monza 400 was commissioned by an American and built on a 400 GT 2+2 chassis. This one off was one of the last cars built by Italian coachbuilder Neri & Bonacini, the same shop that built the GTV chassis. The aluminium body for this car was completed in June of 1966.
The Monza used a Ferrari windshield and had similar styling to the '64 GTO although being a fastback. The overall styling was pleasant with the exception of the awkward 'targa' looking pillars immediately behind the side windows. The body was handbuilt in aluminum and finished in red.
The interior while very basic in overall styling, was quite functional and purpose built.
On April 8, 1967 this car was sold to someone in Spain. The whereabouts of this car today is unknown.
There was only one built by Neri & Bonacini but there are rumors of a copy by Signor Giordanengo of Puro Sangue.

Mmmh, almost no thing beats a LP400 in raw attitude.
Just one shape, no overdoing extras. I like it.

"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.

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
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.

Joe's excellent SV. Note the bull-reference . . . what a designer young Marcello was.
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!
