I think there must have been some sort of Italian supercar day or something near Chorleywood today, as I was out on the Harley and I saw a fair number modern Ferraris on that stretch of the M25 this morning, and when I came off at J18 heading towards Chorleywood, I came up behind one of those massive Lambo LM 4x4 off-roaders and in front of that was a gorgeous lime green P400S Muira cloud9

the owner of both those Lamborghinis and her family live in that area ... biggrin

... and yes, you saw the Miura that is frequently referred to as the 'Twiggy' Miura though it was never hers really, isn't the colour that it was when it was sopposed to have been hers and anyway, isn't (quite) the right shade of verde Miura though both that paint and the car underneath it are excellent!

That LM002 is a touch on the aggressive side but then, they all were and were all meant to be!

That was for the DK Engineering Open Day. Lovely weather and they put on a nice spread of cars and food. I spent about 3 hours there and people were still arriving as I left.

FWIW a friend of mine ran a garage in Essex in the '70s selling supercars and the Twiggy car passed through his hands. IIRC he bought it directly from her. Whether or not the car I saw today was hers or not, it was certainly very pretty.

Aah... thought it looked a odd in terms of colour.... a little too dark a shade?

Wonderful sight though...... can't remember the last time I saw a Muira on the road.... looked soooo small and dainty compared to all the modern euro-boxes around it.

I would have done a detour for a quick looksee had I known it was DK open day.
