Sebring mirrors are what I see in brochures, painted body color, mounted foward on fenders on both sides.
My P400 has a 3 hole pattern matching the Sebring mount up on
fenders. There is also a 2 hole pattern from earlier use in this exact
location that are welded up. Anybody have an explanation of this?
Vitaloni , in the era of Miura 66-73, produced many different mirrors
and likewise so did the competitve manufacture. Here is an ad from 1967
indicating that Vitaloni was offering 2 styles of their Sebring
mirrors - Vitaloni Sebring and Vitaloni Sebring Mach/1. There are
period photos of Miura showing mainly the use of Mach/1, not up on a
block pedestal, but mounted flat. The housings of Mach/1 are thin cast
aluminum or maybe even pot metal zinc alloys as opposed to later modern
production in plastic in a thicker more robust housing. There may also
be some early plastic models in a thin housing variety as well.
The positions of these external, fender top Mach/1 mirrors are slightly
varied according to period pictures. Door mounted, more practical
mirrors may be lauded by present day owners, but to be the Miura
purist, fender top Vit Mach/1 are the only permissible mirrors for a
Miura.
Radio
factory installed, dealer installed, documentation.
radio antenna brand, style, part number, size, material of construction, mount location.
Luggage
Ever seen any documentation? picture?
I have seen a reference to a large and small Lamborghini bag introduced
at 1966 Miura premier and i think have seen something at a modern
dealership 2004 for sale at the $600-700 range but no pictures.
