A little hystory to go with The Miura pic.
Mr. Lamborghini, a wealthy industrialist, owened a Ferrari. Took it to get serviced one day and it turned out to be a week. He got so pissed off he started his owen car business. The Miura wasn't his first but when it was born, Lamborghini had it driven to the front of the Monte Carlo Casino one night and the crowd was around the car NOT in the casino. It pretty much started the wars between Ferrari and Lamborghini. The car wasn't all that great to start with. The engine and trans shared the same oil, like the orginal mini. Since the engine was trans versely mounted and they used carbs made for a longitudly mounted one...during sudden stops, the fuel would not get to the carb and the engine would die. The first model was the P-400, the Miura name was attached, then the S then the SV. With each model they cured some of the problems. The SV is teh best. Correct carbs and seperate trans and engine oil. |
