The extraordinary Miura Jota of Bob Wallace exhibited at the Ferruccio Lamborghini museum


He used a Miura S as a base, replaced the chassis with a stiffer one on which were mounted racing suspensions and self-ventilating disc brakes. The engine was boosted from 370 to 440 horsepower at 8500 rpm and to lighten the car as much as possible the body was remodeled with Avional panels and the glass windows replaced with Plexiglas elements. The car was called Jota by the spanish pronunciation of the letter J, because in the '70s in the F.I.A. regulation the appendix "J" defined the Classification, Definition and Specifications of racing cars. The only semple created did not receive the approval of #ferrucciolamborghini, who had no interest in developing racing cars. After the experimentation period, this car was sold to a private who, unfortunately, almost completely destroyed it in a car accident. The #miurajota exhibited at the #ferrucciolamborghini Museum in #argelato is the only existing replica of the legendary car: Piet Pulford, a great fan and owner of several Lamborghini cars, has invested 15 years and a lot of money to get the perfect and faithful replica of this car. Bob Wallace himself contributed to the realization of this legendary car because only him was able to perfectly replicate the original engine already modified in the Seventies. The #miurajota will be visible at the #ferrucciolamborghini Museum in #argelato from April 2nd to June 15th 2018!
