You & me both , such a sexy car 
why didnt the owner bring a fire extinguisher ??
everyone knows these cars have a tendency to catch fire from the carbs spitting fuel.
I always bring the one from my race Mini, when I drive the Black thing.

With that model I'd have thought an automatic system would be a must  they are not that expensive.
I crashed a Miura, same colour as that one oddly enough, it was a high speed bend, I just didn't slow down enough and the car flew straight out of the slot, it was before they started fitting magnets to the bottom  , still got the car

Totally agree, systems like that can be bought for 250 - 500 pounds.
I sold my Miura around 1974, so I could buy a stereo system, but later on in life I found myself another.
Even have one that I can steer from side to side, in order to avoid obsticles on the track.
Here is one for you guys, so we can remember "those days" =
