Miura SV

So, what is conventional wisdom re one of these beauties - worth taking the plunge? I already have a CGT and my F430 Spider is coming soon but these temp me.

Thanks.

Most beautiful car ever made. Hell yeah it's worth taking the plunge. At least to me, and that's easy to say, not having the scratch to buy one.

allanlambo is infamous around these parts

Owning a CGT and a 430, I just could never see myself wanting to take a car that old for a spin. To look at, ok. But drive...no.

the 3/4 is an arbitrary number.

But if IRC, the gas tank is OVER the front wheels...aka when it goes empty you will have a lot less weight over the front wheels.
