Wow, the Miura was touted as "the first supercar" with it's transverse mounted mid-engined V12 said to be capable of "over 180mph"! I once saw a red one parked alongside a Ferrari Daytona and a Dino 246 outside the Red Fox Tavern, never seen another one. The Countach by comparison was common as muck and nowhere as graceful of lines. Pure classic! Thanks Thunder.

Bob Wallace was said to be chief engineer on the Miura development team I believe and I remember seeing him interviewed in a doco on the marque on Sky TV, a most down-to-earth guy.
