5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive Miura book, April 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lamborghini Miura: The definitive analysis of Lamborghini's first sensational V12 supercar (Hardcover)

This book has been carefully written and well researched. It provides a complete, accurate history of the Miura from the initial market dynamics that caused Lamborghini to conceive the car, to prototypes, to the last SV. It also lists some of the one-offs such as the Jota, ZN-75, and Furia-bodied car. Almost every page has a black and white photo, and there are eight color pages in the center of this 184-page book. Pete Coltrin's photography is timeless. Appendix 1 lists the production order, chassis number, engine number, date, colour (it's a British book), interior, and comments for every Miura. The list is presumably as accurate as the factory's (which means it may not be 100% accurate) but it's a great reference. Appendix 3 shows Official literature. If you're a Miura fan, you have to have this book.
