May 20: Lamborghini Miura Celebration Rally

[TT]

I think you all know by now that the Miura is by far my favourite car ever. And I'll never sait it too loud or too many times! I am in love with such car, and despite living in a lucky area, I didn't see tons of them, especially on the road.. just one :roll:

Well I added another 12 yesterday!!!!!!!!! A small rally, from Gstaad to Monte Carlo, to celebrate the Miura's 40th birthday! I was so glad I had the time to be there at the start in Gstaad! Just to die for!!

The highlight of the show was probably the one and only, perfect to every detail, Miura Jota replica, built by the factory following precise infos on the only Jota ever built (and then crashed). Many don't like it but IMO it's one of the ultimate sightings hands down :D

But talking about rare and collectable Miuras I think this is even more sought after.. ex Shah of Iran's, ex Nicolas Cage's, beautiful color combo and perfectly fit... stunning SVJ (that's basically how it is called an SV improved with Jota elements to a certain extent)

And this bloody gorgeous black SV??????? Last Miura leaving the factory, it has some minor Jota elements too and it's :shock:

A 350GT on the road is always a bit thing IMO!

I don't have many infos about this mondel. Based on a 400GT, rebodied by Nembo and called 400 GT Monza. Gorgeous isn't it?

This is another OOAK. It's an SV upgraded to a Jota lookalike or almost. Its first owner happened to have owned the one and only real Jota and wanted to replicate it. Can't remember now who did this job, but some indipendent guys that worked previously for Lambo maybe. I think it has an SVR engine actually. Called the Millechiodi

Perfect garage?

A couple more SV. The yellow one is actually an SV prototype

Thank goodness Ferrari had such bad customer service - otherwise Ferucci may never have been pissed off enough to bring us this, one of the greatest cars ever.

:)

Well, I know, but it's already enough to try and use proprely a camera.. can't just record vids.. too complicated to have two devices :(

The sound is of course amazing. The SVJ or Jota really are incredibly loud, but the whole bunch was like an orchestra!

AMAZING CAR!!

One of the most beautiful sculptures on wheels, and it is one of my favorite as well.

Its great to hear that you've got to see your favorite car in this rally TT. Must have been an amazing site like u said.

I have yet to see it in person, but I'll definitely remember the day when I will!

It's Ferruccio Lamborghini, and that story is most likely a myth, but a good one :)

[yg60m]

:love: so much different Miuras, some have pure lines but Jota's replicas have their own beauty too :wink: Thanks Matteo !!

[stradale]

:shock: :drool: :love:

I'm in shock! It's very rare to see so many significant, special Lamorghini's from the same period together!! The Jota, the SVJ, the Monza, an SV proto.... That's amazing! Thanks TT!

[Pehtren]

so if i would choose one of them it would be for sure the orange one...GREAT colour :P

Thanks TT for the pics they are stunning as always 8)

LOL, it's already difficult to "get her permission" to attend such events :D let alone taking her with me! She probably came to two of the 2 bilions events I visited these past years :D

Hunt it down and take pics !!!!!!!!!! :D

[dingo]

Oh I didn't know you like Miuras, should've told me so I could've shown you mine before I sold it. :P

The black SV is my favourite! :drool: Stunning gathering and equally great pics.

[komotar]

These took my breath away, seriously, I can't stop going over and over all the pics :shock:

Matteo, thx a bunch for making this dreary saturday much, much more interesting!

I'd kill to be in the presence of these cars and to be able to take pics of them 8)

[MIHALS]

wow, some really beautiful pics there matteo!!! so finally your dream came true - so many miuras together :D :love:

now it's mihals', dani's and maou's turn :wink:

[TT]

It will definitely be pretty hard now to attend a meeting and come back home happier than in this occasion :)

But you never know ;) maybe the 50th celebration will be even better ;) the countdown is already started :D

[Wutputt]

Friday, someone told me this event was taking place. I immediately thought TT :lol: I said in myself I'll bet all my money TT will be taking pics like a madman at this event.

Impressive to see so many Miuras together. And that 400 GT Monza looks gorgeous as well. My to favourite pics are:

[ARMAN]

Those Miura's looks damn sexy :twisted: Shame you had to blur theyr faces :( i dont care about faces but it ruins the pic for me somehow :( ec Cage's red wine is my favorit :P Thanx TT for sharing :wink:

[TT]

Same a for the plates.. better be safe than sorry...

[davide]

TT, I think you need a camera crew with you when you go to these meetings!

I'll volounteer... :)

[Abel_tan]

I never ever get tired of looking at em, the more i see em, the more i love em, its just lovely to see em. Just such a pity that there are not many made and it is just so rare. I doubt there is even one in my country. You're really lucky to be able to see these beauties, let alone hear em... Man i am so envious... :drool: Love the black one, i just really wish Lambo will create an updated version of the original one without changing its looks, probably update the engine and chassis dynamics. It is a living classic that never dies...

[TT]

Only three for you guys, I am sorry but a Miura rally with no Miuras would have been crap :D anyway, the "winterish" sea background is really cool!

[stmoritzer]

Great event coverage!
Thanks for the pics!
