Although I absolutely love the Miura that Archie and his guys built, your car is one in a billion as well. Bottom line is that Archie and company do some amazing work and I can't wait to see what's next!
Archie - the car is perfect just the way it is. I am sure that if the owner wanted an exact duplicate of a Miura, he probably would have just bought a real one. Why own a real one when you can have a one of a kind work of automotive art? Great job and thanks again for sharing all your work.

awesome... and in Dallas Cowboys colors no less... too bad they are really sucking wind this year.
I'd ditch the front license plate. I know it is required by law, but it kills the front.
I've never been ticketed for not having one,... when I have been pulled over and asked about it, I just explain the bracket is no longer made and I am trying to source one for this 25 y/o classic. They are usually complimentary before giving me the speeding ticket...

The car is absolutley fantastic. The only thing I would change is the wheels. It is so close to the original in appearance a correct looking set of reproduction wheels would complete the illusion.

Ditto - fantastic build, beautiful car - the only thing I'd do is find some repro wheels! - kv

Holy Moly, the headlight is more than a lot of people have spent on their entire car!

Just an observation.

I’m sorry if I insist, but the “SV” always had wider wheel arches, due to the fact that it was fitted with wider wheels and tyres. On the web and on several books you find this information:
“On the outside the most striking difference was the bulging of the rear wheel arches, they had to be widened by 13 cm because the Miura SV was fitted with the new Pirelli’s ..."
( http://www.topspeed.com/car...-miura-sv-ar616.html ).
You can even compare the two pictures below.
However, don’t get me wrong, please. I really like this replica, even the way it is! I just said what I would change, if it were mine.
As to what concerns the reason, why the owner didn’t buy a real one, it’s probably that the real thing is far too expensive. Of course, he may not have wanted to have a perfect copy. Anyway, he still put Lamborghini and Miura and Bertone badges on it, in order to make it look as real as possible.
Anyway, Archie and his guys really did a fantastic job!
Best regards
