@lewm-or a Periscopo Countach. Al Burtoni (RIP) had fully restored one for 95k back in the mid-'90s. I went to look at it. I couldn't really fit into it, the fit and finish was like a kit car. The Miura was probably the most stunning--the early non-SVs went for pocket change back in the '90s. I ran with somebody who had a beautiful 400 in green, with green tinted windows. One of the oddballs was a bowling ball sparkle painted Espada that was part of the collection of the Principality of Monaco, with a glass sunroof that covered front and back. It was used for tours on behalf of the royal family. 

I only had one Lambo (was mainly a F-car guy). But it was the last run of the Diablo, after Audi took over the marque- the 6 liter. Much better fit and finish, I think the rear tires were 335s. Not exactly a tossable car in the twisties, but man, that engine! Was quite exotic for the money. 

I drove all these cars, none were garage queens. That was an interesting period in my life. 

Many years ago, needless to say, I test drove a Miura that was for sale. It was an S version with 12,000 miles, and the price was $17,500!!!!! At high speed, the front end felt floaty, and that kind of frightened me. Everything else about the car was perfect. And I very stupidly declined the opportunity, just because I was frightened of that handling characteristic which is probably characteristic of the car except maybe for the SV version, where they added a much needed front spoiler. Certainly that was one of the worst car decisions I ever made. I still worship the looks of the Miura.

Yep. The earliest F- BB, a 365, had the same issue. Later versions, ala 512BB and BBi fixed that problem. The 365 BB is a serious piece these days. Alas, the days of these being found for mere mortal money are in the rear view. 

The long front overhang forward of the wheels is a design turnoff for me when I look at the 365 BB and its later iterations. And I bet that generates lift as well.
