I'll go halves with you!

My god, how sinister does it look? ing amazing!

I must be a dreadful killjoy, but I think it looks awful in black.

It also looks a bit scabby underneath and those tyres must be twenty years old.

Still, it remains a delicious thing and you could always paint it lime green or orange....

[Polarbert]

I think it was orange originally. Black looks amazing I think.

[Adam B]

nope, orange would have been much better

Mike Pullen has a Miura in his workshop in black - does look stunning in the flesh.

Personally I love them in the Red/Gold guise

The more I see that car the more I see bits that are soooo wrong.

Shame, because these are just lovely as they left factory.

Doesn't it have a front splitter that isn't standard? I don't know much about them but that doesn't look standard and it doesn't look very good to me.

This is my idea of what a Miura should look like

If you pay 200k + for a car, im sure a 5 -10k paint job to get it the colour you want isnt going to hurt too much!

[Jonny5]

A car like that would demand a bare metal respray, which nodoubt would throw up all manor of problems as subsequent cost - i'd say you'd need 25k ++++ to respray. You can buy clean original cars for that money anyway

I'm with Jonny on this. The black looks cool but ultimately it's the wrong colour for a Muira (if you're not into Lambos you would not believe the aura surrounding the Muira. With respect to Fezza nuts, the 250GTO SWB or LM doesn't even come close, trust me!).

That front valance is wrong. I'm not sure about the headlights either, and those bumper mounted spots don't look right. SO it does look like it's been 'modded'. But a Muira is a Muira, and it can all be put right for a (very high) price.

Let's face it, you'd kill for one, wouldn't you!

[murph7355]

The headlights/front are wrong - and to be fair the place selling it does note this (though it intimates it's trying to recreate the Miura Jota - Stevie Wonder obviously did the work. Headlights on that were fared in etc etc). Don't like the wing mirrors either.

And as has been mentioned, the car's not exactly cheap.

The value of classics like this lies in originality. Stray as far away as this one has and forget trying to sell it for the same as a pukka example. In my opinion of course.

I'm also with Jonny on colours. It'd be tough deciding whether to go for orange, red, or my personal favourite lime green.

Fortunately I'm too tall to ever have to worry too much about it
