Lamborghini Miura – the definitive bible
August 4, 2009 by Anthony Crawford
Some people are die-hard Ferrari fans and others prefer the raging bull logo, which is of course Lamborghini. If I had the money, I’d have both.

But Lamborghini holds a special place in my heart, specifically the Miura, one of the most beautiful automotive designs ever created and as rare as hen’s teeth these days.
It was the first Italian supercar I ever rode in, and while the ride was awful, the engine deafening, and gears that wouldn’t engage properly until we were a good fifteen minutes into the drive – I loved every moment of the ride.
Like me though, if you can’t afford the car, then the world’s most definitive bible on the car, is a lot better than a Matchbox model.
The book is entitled The Lamborghini Miura Bible by Joe Sackey, and was first published by Veloce in 2008. The problem was that the first print run sold out in less than four months.
The result of 20 years of painstaking research by the world’s leading authority on the Miura, it features a never before published factory chassis production register, as well as current interviews with former factory employees involved in the Miura production.
Joe has owned and restored no less than five Miuras, so you can bet he knows what he’s on about.
With over 450 photographs and illustrations, paint charts and every conceivable fact and figure on this iconic supercar, it seems like a must for any Lamborghini fan.

Anthony Crawford you took the exact words out of my mouth “Some people are die-hard Ferrari fans and others prefer the raging bull logo, which is of course Lamborghini. If I had the money, I’d have both.” I would INDEED have both, the miura is just one of if not the 2nd most gorgeous car on the planet, 1st being the ferrari 250Gt California spyder(my opinion of course).
That blue one is just sublime. Jk from jamiroque who has many many cars, black enzo being one, rates his miura as being one of the best sports cars of the modern era. And he drives all his cars. Lucky mofo…good on him…
Thanks for the wallpaper, Anthony. Yep, the blue car.
A gorgeous, sensual machine, perhaps only to be tipped by 60’s Ferrari Berlinetta GT.
I thought this site was law a biding. You should not have pornographic images on this site. The blue Miura almost made me jizz.
Most beautiful car ever designed… Bertone is king.
GREAT BEATIFULL!
I think Italian cars reflect Italian people and culture. On the outside they are S3xy and sleek. They sound brilliant under revs (the car I mean) but try and get them to work hard and soon the whole thing comes crashing down. I would love to have one in the garage, even if it was just so I could say I have one but it would probably be the car I would drive the least.
