they come like that from the factory on the Jota version. the stock one is called a Miura whcih doesnt have the wing or the front spoiler

[G-man422]

yeah, i thought it looked like a Miura.

yeah, there are alot more differences as well, such as the wide body, wheel track, engine, interior, suspension, really other than the basic frame of the car, it's completely different from the miura.

that's a fine build, what company makes that kit? I need to get one, and a Miura as well.

Very nice build. I like the shine on that car. What color/paint did you use?

[MPWR]

Nice build- especially of the Airfix kit! You actually saw one of these being driven? There were only about a dozen made (and I understand that most have found their way to Japan). Granted replicas (based on Miuras or more common stock) are not quite as rare.

Definately if you're looking to build a Miura or Jota, check out the Hasegawa kits. They are lovely, every bit as good as a recent Tamiya kit- even have full engines. They're also easily availible.

yeah it was last summer it was bad ass i couldnt tell if it was a replica or not but theres a exotic car dealer nearby and whe we ran into it i was coming from that general direction

[drunken monkey]

well..... technically, there was only ever ONE jota, the others, even though they were produced by the lamborghini factory can only really be called Miura based replicas. Much of the work for the real jota was bespoke and not easily or cheapily replicated for road use (the Jota was a racing/homolagation development car).

so really, only ONE real P400 Jota and about half a dozen factory produced Miura SV/J cars.
