RE: PH Heroes: Lamborghini Miura
Discussion
Visit Chelsea Autolegends on Sunday or the PH parade gathering at the RAC Club and you will see what is regarded by the official Lamborghini historic register as being probably the most original condition (not another horribly over restored example) of all Muira cars on the planet. By the way, she is red and very very beautiful.

More to the point - look at the Countach that superseded it. I bet that was designed by committee!
Don't look at the "add big bumpers for every international market's new safety regs" and "add wings to make it look more aggressive (and keep it on the road with the bigger engine)". Instead, look at the original version. THAT was a car that deserved to take the place of the Miura unlike pretty much every car since.

What's the best 1:18 scale model on the market for real world (£50 or less) money?
The red one I bought for £10 from a guy in the NEC show last year, the chrome one was a christmas present (also got a gallardo) no idea how much or from where, if you want I can find out later and I'll post the details.What's the best 1:18 scale model on the market for real world (£50 or less) money?

Utterly, utterly gorgeous. It sounds fantastic too.
Why no door mirrors though?
The 60s were a time of wing mirrors. Door mirrors were generally a later thing and even in the 70s you often only got one on the driver's side. I wouldn't want to spoil that shape with mirrors though, would you?Why no door mirrors though?

Is there a thread on scale model cars? Also, the Need for speed game pictured under the chrome Miura caught my eye. My gf has a ps3 & i have no games other than GT5 (im not big on games, but like car related ones.)
Been ages since I played need for speed but it's pretty decent, didn't know there was a scale model thread?.

Saw this particular Miura last year, absolutely gorgeous.
Yes that's on the Sporting Bears static stand at the NEC along with the lovely orange Westfield XIbehind the static stand it's even better with Sporting Bears Dream Rides taking passengers on 10 mile rides outside the NEC complex
it includes many and various vehicles including JHW Classic's XJ220
and Harsh now gets their cars for his Petrolhead Nirvana events too
