Lime Green Muira / Film Some Like It Sexy - 1969

[neutral 3]

Found this purely by chance earlier. It’s on Italian plates.
The film was released in 1969, so its likely that this shot dates from 1968. The location looks to be Chelsea.
Anyone know any more re this Muira ?

Temporary Italian EE plates. Means Escursioni Esteri, foreigners without residence in Italy.
From my go to info on film cars, IMCDb.org, although it doesn’t know much about this car.

Thanks Scrump. I still have the EE plate, from my Late Dads 67 Ghibli.

Would that be the Twiggy Muira?

It may be the Twiggy car. Silvertune were located in the Kings road and I believe that the Twiggy car ended up in Selfridges in 1969 when the store hosted a motor show! I will have to do some more research, unless anyone has info regarding the Selfridges show.

Bob I do wish you would write a book with your reminisces!

It is not that car. That is an S, a new car using the chassis number of Justin de Villeneuve’s white P400. It is not clear if JdV actually ever owned that S new. He, or Twiggy, had a lime green S with stripes. Different car again, now in Australia. JHW is a great Lamborghini enthusiast and does a lot with the car.

I seem to recall seeing a Chassis number list with colours and original owners some years ago. Armed with that, it should be possible to narrow this one down considerably.

It can be narrowed down to two cars. The EE plates cannot be researched, unfortunately, and it's quite possible they were moved from one car to another and back again. Both might be Car magazine test cars, Sandie Shaw photo cars and Greenwich press shot cars. Both were delivered to UK, LHD but with no first owner recorded.

1) Car 54/chassis 3102. Now in US.

2) Car 51/chassis 3096. Now in Canada.
