LAMBORHINI MUIRA SV RHD

[LunarOne]

I thought the misspelling in the thread title must have been an unfortunate one, but then I see that you've spelled it "Muira" on every occasion throughout the thread. You do know it's a "Miura", right?

Not a cross between:

It happened the same with my dad, in a matter of months. Sometimes maybe a blessing?

Anyway, not to detract from your great thread, please keep posting further pics and stories. I’ve been to Norway several times through work and love the scenery and people who are always very welcoming.

Beer prices are eye watering though!!

This is such a wonderful story and of great interest to many on here. Love looking at old pictures of amazing cars being used years ago.
It must have been such a rare sight to see a Lamborghini.

SORRY - my apologies for spelling it Muira instead of MIURA - l put it down to an age thing now I am 77 - sorry

77? Ah well at least you'll have a clue who those two were! Anyway, fantastic car and great thread. I'll shut up about the misspellings now, but the images that flashed through my mind were too funny to ignore.

Reading your posts has made a dreary day at work really interesting. Very strange as I walked past Caxton Hall only yesterday. Incredible stories, thanks for sharing!

[LeighW]

Great story, thanks for posting. I'm really hoping you have pictures of the Countach to share!

Very sorry to read about your wife passing, my condolences

After all these years I have just realised the is the only photo I have remaining of the Countache - I suppose it was I much preferred the Miura - much more exciting all round

There are some superb period photos and discussions on the PH Lamborghini Classics threads. You might come across some more pictures of it there.

That would be very difficult choice but I think for me, the Miura just edges ahead.

Thank you for sharing these amazing photos, ALL models in the photos are gorgeous

Love this thread. Thanks Roger, what a car history to have and it must have been wonderful to have someone to share it all with given your wife seems to have often stolen your keys!

Now you're talking!

Great posts Roger.

There is another member on PH who previously owned a Muira.

Have you come across Michael Hipperson? He also owned a 275 GTB.

What a fantastic set of cars, both the Miura and contache are automotive icons so congrats on owning both. What a wonderful and personal story about them too, all the best roger!

Since the late 1960s l have been lucky enough to own a multitude of super cars. Before l bought my first super car l owned 3 Ford Shelby Mustangs.Then I bought a 1971 unique right-hand drive black Lamborghini Muira SV registration number JS 27 from Jonathan Sieff, a director of Marks and Spencer and motor-racing driver in March 1972 ,which had only done 485 miles which l owned until October 2 1975. Photographed in Telemark, Norway in June 1972 with me, my wife and mother-in-law

Where did the mother in law sit?

In reply to the query - 'did I know any other Lamborghini owners' and the answer is only one being Jonathan Sieff of the Marks and Spencer family, who as I am sure your community will possibly remember as a racing driver. As you may have become aware I am no longer a 'spring chicken' but does the name 'Piston Heads' apply purely to motor cars as I was into my propeller driven aeroplanes as well as you can see in the photo of my wife with her father and my my de Havilland Dove aircraft at Oslo Fornebu airport in February 1973 in the snow. Once again the photo beside the one I have already posted of my wife, mother in Law and yours truly with my Miura in Telemark Norway in 1972.

in response to your question - not in my book. If it has pistons please post about it. Your posts are quite fascinating TBH. And to echo what was said by others - condolences on your wife's passing
