Although the title is somewhat presumptuous, this is actually an excellent book. There are a couple of things that make this book unique among Lamborghini books. First, Sackey is not only a huge Miura enthusiast and evangelist, but has also owned and restored several Miura SVs, so his writing is based not just on great research (which he's obviously done) but experience in ownership and restorations. Second, he has taken a lot of effort to find period photos that haven't been published before. Most Lamborghini books recycle many of the period photos, but this book only reuses a few. It includes a serial number listing, which is more accurate than the one in the Coltrin book, but Sackey doesn't list which cars were reissued, nor which numbers were P400s, S's, and SVs, or total production counts (although it does list counts for the SV). Perhaps this is a very difficult goal given poor factory records and cars being changed over the years. I'd like to see more descriptions of P400 and S cars. Joe has owned SVs and the book seems biased toward that variant. Overall, a great book and a "must have" for Miura fans.

Excellent book on the Lamborghini Miura. Very well written, excellent photos, and the Author really knows the history of the car and the people involved in creating it. The Paper Quality and Photos make this book a keeper for life.

A superb telling of the Lamborghini Miura story. Nicely written backed up by excellent research. Clearly a labor of love from a true enthusiast.

This is one of the best books written on any exotic car model. I can not wait for the 288 GTO book.
