It may well be old news to some, but I never knew there was a Miura Roadster in existence:


Only recently restored to its original 1968 Brussels Show spec, the Bertone Miura Roadster features an open top with larger air intakes integrated into a rollover hoop. The rear of the car was also reshaped with a larger spoiler and unique taillights.
Its up for sale at the moment, but chances are it will go for more than the $330,000 that it cost to restore it. Sadly that's just a bit out of my current price limit too.

Such a gorgeous car, Lamborghini only ever made one of them though, such a shame. You have good taste Tim.

Oops didn't mean to come across that way Tim.
Was merely a reminder.
Anyway it is a beauty but like tWm said, they only made 1 so the probability of seeing one (what more owning one) is nearly sky high

Jay Leno will probably buy it! lol

Have you ever visited Jay's Garage online and see his videos of the two Miura's he owns?
You sit in them like you are driving a go-cart, never knew that about these cars.

The Bertone Miura is also one of a kind too.
And it was specifically designed to be a raodster whereas the SV looks like it just had its roof chopped off.
The engine cooling solutions for the Bertone are much improved also Plus its not in vomit green

Were I given a choice of Miura, I would go with the 1971 P400 SV rather than the roadster.

Not saying I don't like it, I'm just generally more of a hard-top fan than I am of convertibles.

Incidentally, does this even have a roof that can be put on it?
