Mopsdrops 08-15-2004 01:09 PM

No.1 08-15-2004 01:09 PM

Nice pics, but the cars were very cramped up :(

The Pagani has UK plates 8)

SPEED_DEMON82 08-15-2004 01:29 PM

Nice Pics.......but just look at that XJ220 .... sooo close to the wall. How did they get that car so close to the wall?? It kinda hurt me to see that pic :(

TT 08-15-2004 01:34 PM

Dang we are getting quite a few of Zonda and Diablo GT sightings lately ;)

too bad the cars were so close!!

but what about that topless Miura? it gave me shivers!!!!!!!!! :)

Thanks!

Yup, their show-room wasn't that big, unfortunately ... I couldn't take lots of pics of the Zonda because of that :?
I think the miura is an SVJ, 'cause they talk about it on their website ( http://www.autodrome-cannes.com )
I found this page about the car http://www.autodrome-cannes.com/lamb..._spider_71.htm but it's in french, maybe TT can translate something, I haven't enough vocabulary in english

TT 08-15-2004 02:23 PM

Nope, it's not an SVJ, Jota or other derivative. It's a Miura Spider and I admit I didn't know there was a Miura Spider! on that page they say there are only TWO of them!

Darkel 08-15-2004 02:41 PM

Oh sorry for my mistake :oops:

TT 08-15-2004 02:51 PM

Oh well, as rare of not more rare :D

salegosse 08-15-2004 03:05 PM

Good thread ;) :)

I will try not to get closed pictures of the Miura, need to contact them again... :D

Darkel 08-15-2004 03:17 PM

Lol, you'll take pics of the Miura as a VIP, once again :mrgreen:

TT 08-15-2004 03:20 PM

Dang salegosse, since a while you didn't post new pics :D if you could post some of that Miura it would be a terrific come back :D

Stikz 08-15-2004 03:24 PM

those were awesome pics man. Wish you had one of the miura from the front. Thanks

Darkel 08-15-2004 03:52 PM

No, because of those f*ing windows but wait for Salegosse's pics :wink:

PATo355 08-15-2004 05:48 PM

Please please please go back and get some pics of the Miura Spyder , its the first time i see one of those , impressive to see that the car didnt give yoiu a gr8 impression , cuz at the side of that car all the others looks so massproduced !!! :shock:


BTW

Gr8 pics

Darkel 08-16-2004 06:47 AM

Lol, I can't go back for the moment, because I live about 600km away from Cannes.
I've got an interior pic of the Miura but it's a little blurry, I should had have set 400ISO instead of 200ISO :|

mindgam3 08-16-2004 04:16 PM

great pics! Always good to see the zonda, gorgeous car. Nice aston v8 there too and seeing the xj220 in real life i guess is another supercar box checked ;)

Darkel 08-16-2004 04:36 PM

Lol, that was my second XJ220, the first was at Auto Salon :wink:
2 weeks, two XJ220 :D

stradale 08-16-2004 07:01 PM

That place is soooo cramped!! What a shame. Cars like that need more space to be admired.

I like the Miura as well, but it's not an original spider. That is because there's only one and it's not this particular one. Lamborghini built a one-off Miura spider for a show and sold it afterwards to a company that produced zinc. They used it for promotional means after the body was replaced with a zinc body. Still, this is a beautiful conversion and I'd certainly like to see more pictures of it.

BTW, the black 365BB is drop dead gorgeous as well! :P

TT 08-16-2004 07:57 PM

In the page linked by Darkel they said there were actually two "official" spiders though.. but the one sold there doesn't seem to be one of them indeed.

DeMoN 08-16-2004 09:27 PM

awsome pics! So glad Im not on 56k anymore. Im back from my country =)

I had never heard of a second one before. On the page of the dealership there are 'before and after' pictures of the spider that I thought was the only one. My French isn't really great, but did it say that a Swiss distributor or dealer ordered a second spider as a special from the factory? That's what I understood at least.

BTW, TT, if you like this grey SVJ spider, there's also a 1/43 model of it. I believe it was Minichamps who built it. I think it was modeled after this very car.

TT 08-17-2004 04:44 AM

Thanks stradale, I'll keep my eyes opened!

TT 08-19-2004 05:37 AM

Just discovered this picture a007 uploaded some time ago.. same place, same car :D

stradale 08-19-2004 08:43 AM

Wow, that is a great picture! It looks like one of the pictures on the site of the dealer, but in a much better resolution.

samtek 08-27-2004 06:56 AM

Nice dealer with crazy cars. The pagani is so sexy with his frog mirrors and eyes :)

Ford Capri 2.8i 08-27-2004 09:04 AM

Very good pics darkel.......the quality of them overall is great....always is welcome to see rare cars such as the ferrari 412 that i adore it very much....the blue 412i looks astonishing.,...its the first time that i see a blue XJ220, and i adore it a lot as well in this colour, another rare car(the ferrari 512i BB) looks very great as well......congrats for your work very well done

Fleischmann 08-27-2004 09:22 AM

Wow...an Aston Martin Vantage...cabrio!! Very rare sighting as far as I am aware. And yeah, it's the first time I've heard about the Miura Spyder too.
