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.

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."
