I got confused with the Jota story too, still haven’t figured it out yet. I read somewhere that the Miura was first designed to a three seater like the McLaren F1.
Wow! I’ve not read that. I think I’ve seen a 400GTwith 3 seats at Retromobile in Paris. Or maybe it was. 350GT. Joe Sackey doesn’t mention that in his Miura bible. Very interesting. Thank you
Grigio GT I will see if I can find the source in writing with Miura 3 seat idea, but it’s mentioned here th-cam.com/video/vSj7GFLDhew/w-d-xo.html I think Ferrari had a similar idea for one of their cars around the same time so I guess it was being thought of by designers during the period. If you look at the early drawings of the Miura, the car is really wide. Never heard of a three seat 350 GT/400 GT
In Joe Sackey’s “Miura Bible”, he writes there was only one Jota version of the Miura that was crashed. A Miura owner said the red car I show the stills of is a modified Miura but not a Jota. There are SV cars that are modified to look like a Jota and this is what I realised I was seeing after I made the video. Please check out the “most expensive Miura in the world” video scheduled for release later this month.
Great video!
Thank you. I’m always learning so great to have feedback.
