The marvellous Miura

Lamborghini Miura

Dennis Varni is a pretty interesting guy. Prominent in the US hot rod scene he also discovered European cars and has spent a lifetime building and collecting all things automotive. One of his prized pieces is this Lamborghini Miura.

Speaking to Petrolicious, Varni says of his Miura: “It’s highly collectable, it’s exciting, because it’s unusual, it’s small, it’s exotic—it’s still exotic today. And it was significant in its styling.”

We couldn’t agree more. Enjoy the video after the break.

It’s lime green, it’s beautiful and you want it!

1970 Lamborghini Miura P400 S

You’re looking at a 1970 Lamborghini Miura. It’s one of the most beautiful cars ever to grace the earth. And this one, chassis #4413, could be yours if you’ve got a lazy US$1.5 million burning a hole in your pocket.

The car featured here is Lot 113 in the upcoming Gooding & Company auction to be held at Scottsdale this weekend.

There are some truly stunning cars up for grabs, but none more so than this near perfect Miura.

Lamborghini Miura SV lights my fire

Lamborghini Miura SV

This is just so sad.

We’ve previously called the Lamborghini Miura SV beautiful, and they are. But, sadly, this one no longer is. And if you’re game enough to watch the video after the break you’ll see it gets much worse than the image above.

The fire happened in central London and was filmed and posted to YouTube under the account Save the Rich. Apparently that’s the same folks you may remember from the Ferrari Enzo rally bashing video and more.

We only wish we got to see what they would have filmed with the Miura if it hadn’t expired.

The Gospel according to Lamborghini Miura

The Lamborghini Miura Bible

The Lamborghini Miura is one of the world’s most beautiful supercars. If, like me, you are unlikely to ever own one you can now make do with a 272 page hardback book The Lamborghini Miura Bible by Joe Sackey.

The first print run was published in November 2008, but it sold out in just a few months. The newly reprinted edition means the results of Sackey’s 20 years of research and 450 photos of the gorgeous Miura can now be yours!

More details after the jump.

You can see a Miura for yourself on the Historic Tribute display at the Melbourne International Motor Show (27 February–9 March).

Telegraph.co.uk – Lamborghini legends

Lamborghini Miura

A short and sweet entry here, a collection of Lamborghini images I stumbled across at the Telegraph.co.uk website. See them now! Which one is your favourite?

The car featured above—the Lamborghini Miura—is one of the most stunning sports car designs of all time. Just 746 Miuras were made between 1966 and 1972. Powered by a V12, of course, the Miura weighed in at around 980 kilograms. The Miura’s V12 was revised over the years, but at first release was producing almost 260kW (345bhp). Despite a retro 40th anniversary concept in 2006, they just don’t make cars like this any more. Although, that’s not always a bad thing, haha!
