Do you know this nice car? I don't!

For one point, please identify this car.

Experts?

Obviously someone's attempt to build his own Lamborghini Miura in his garage. You really have to admire the amount of work that went into it, even if the result is not the most aesthetically pleasing vehicle. Let the search begin.

Yes,and it's a nice

car!

I have no idea.

Homebuilt Lamborghini Miura replica?

João · « **Reply #10 on:** February 23, 2012, 05:25:49 PM »

I think so.

Carnut · « **Reply #11 on:** February 24, 2012, 11:27:32 AM »

The 'site where it's pictured simply says the owner, from Bern in Switzerland, built it himself using a Porsche engine and Alfa Montreal rear-lights (and a few other bits as well I'm sure!) in 1998.

It doesn't mention the owner's name however..

Yes, it's a nice car in my opinion.

Swiss... is it the notorious Beat Menzi, again?

João · « **Reply #14 on:** March 02, 2012, 11:10:26 AM »

I don't know who built it, sorry.

Carnut · « **Reply #15 on:** July 20, 2012, 05:08:17 AM »

Are you still waiting for more info on this one?
I'm not sure there is any more out there..

This car was spotted at the Oldtimertreffen Bleienbach' 2013.
Indices: a Porsche badge on the steering wheel.

Perhaps this could be an attempt to copy the car that Pietro Frua realized in 1971 for Verne Von Heidrich with a Porsche 914/6 base and a half-Miura/half-Maserati style; actually I suppose that rear lights are not Alfa, but Maserati Khamsin's ones. ...a better look suggests me that also those ones are slightly different, perhaps Fiat Dino coupe'?

No, I don't think it looks any thing like the Verne Ben Heyderich Frua VW-Porsche Hispano-Aleman you mention (which I have actually sat in!)
It's definitely a Miura lookalike and it's been established it's based on a Porsche 914, as well as where it was built.
The only bit missing is the builder's name, which I believe Joao doesn't know either!

From Flickr:
''The owner was not very friendly, but he told me that used a lot of Porsche parts and was registered as a Porsche 2.0...''
