"The Miura briefly stutters into life before a quick blip of the throttle clears its throat with a blood-curdling shriek that’s more racer than road car. You only need to stab the throttle once, but you’ll want to do it so much more."

from the article:

Unsurprisingly, the Miura and Daytona are miles apart, and there’s no doubt that they appeal to very different people.

Thanks to Martin Kent, owner of both the Miura and the Daytona.


Martin Kent IS a top geezer - he has another, older Miura and also the one-and-only Monza though he's blotted his copy book in my estimation by moving from Durham to Essex recently...

Just who are those two men grinning at the camera?

Couldn't they get out the bloody way for just a minute?
