    Any youtuber would have used a clickbait title like "I DRIVE A 1.3 MILLION POUNDS LAMBORGHINI ON THE STREETS". Harry doesn't do that, and I'm grateful for that.

      Interesting that harry describes how bob wallace and his team drove the miura all day at 150mph to develop it, but how he (harry) wasnt usually keen on pushing a miura? What the hell was bob doing all day?

      BOTH are Masterpieces. But the marvelous Miura is the FIRST ever mid-engine road car. More than 30 years before the supra F1. Think about it. Being filthy rich, I'd own both, of course.

    This brings wonderful memories of when I was a child, my father had a white SV with all the extras like Britax racing seat belts! The engine noise is pure mechanical music, the body shape is absolutely stunningly beautiful and no car has ever come close to its beauty in my opinion. Great review by the way.

    I was born the same year as the Muira. As a child I had a diecast model of one and I was captivated by it’s flowing curves, and the way the rear hinged up to see the engine. I still am! There’s some beautiful cars from other eras, but to me this is the sexiest car ever built.

    • @Pulsonar
      @Pulsonar 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Me too, the Miura, and, Maserati Bora were my fave die cast model road cars. The Ferrari 330 P4 and Ford GT40 my fave race cars models. Then seeing my toys come to life in films and TV motor sports more or less captured my soul for life. 50+ years later and I’m reduced to the same excited kid of 1970 when these beautiful machines come into view especially the Miura, the sexiest beast of a car ever built IMO. I feel quite privileged to have lived as a kid in that era, finding out later in life that it was the golden age of sports cars on road and track!

  • @millipar6620
    @millipar6620 6 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    First, thank you for your wonderful reviews, which I think are still among the best you can find.
    Of course even Harry cannot possibly know everything... just a little note aside:
    Wallace was a test driver, not an engineer, he did not design anything, but he did have a big part in development. The engineers were Paolo Stanzani and Giampaolo Dallara, they designed the chassis, the semi-monocoque, the engine/gearbox layout, Marcello Gandini penned the body (all by himself in a very short time)

    Harry it is so nice to see you in action again, and with one of the most beautiful, iconic, important works of automotive art ever conceived. I don’t know how in the world you come by all these opportunities to drive the best cars ever made, but I’m thankful you do. I’ve been reading your articles for a long time and thoroughly enjoyed every one. But I personally have been more influenced by these videos over the last several years (both with Evo and on your own) than I ever was beforehand. Please keep enjoying and sharing as long as you’re able. I will savor every one.

    Best Miura video ever. I went to the Toronto International Auto show in 2020 just before the Covid isolation. Not one but Two Miuras on display. Wow.
    Tiny little thing as beautiful today as it was back then!

    I'm a enthusiastic collector of Vintage Scalextric cars made in the 60's.

    The Miura was one of my precious dinky toys when I was young. Since then, I have always considered the Miura as one of the most beautiful cars in the world. I am now 45 years old, and the Miura is still one of my exotic favorites. Will probably never be able to drive in one, let alone own one. But, what a beauty it is, especially in this original green color. Dear Harry, I love your reviews, but this is my favorite review. Thank you very much for this experience. If only I could experience this car from the passenger seat.....OMG, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

    Miura and XKE the two best. Who doesn't love this car? I've been lusting after it since reading the road test in Road and Track in 1969. "We were on a two lane California blacktop at 120 mph and a Porche came up behind us flashing the lights to pass. We dropped Two gears and left him a spec in the rear view in seconds..."
    Good review Harry. I've learned yet even more about this car with your review.

It seems that I may have seen a Miura in a car show a few years ago but I can't remember for certain. One gets to a point where one's memory becomes just a bit "porous" and some pertinent details slip through the cracks! ;^) In the mean time, we'll just have to thank Harry for doing such a splendid job and keep watching.

    I first saw the MIURA at Earls Court Motor show in 1966! It was the outstanding car of that show even when it was tucked away in the corner! I was a body design apprentice with Rootes Group at the time and have still 55 years later never seen a more outstanding design! every line and curve could not be bettered!
