My only gripe about these pictures is that he left the F50 nose up (there's a switch you can hit to bring the nose up for speed bumps, gas station entrances, etc.) Makes it look funny, IMO.
wow, now i wanna get a chance to see that nose going up!

Isn't the Miura almost priceless? Like even if you've got loads of cash in hand, it doesn't guarantee that any owner will actually sell you one? The 1963 version was valued at over 5 million dollars, but there was nothing to sell!!!!

I'm not sure about the value of them but I wouldn't be surprised.... Miura's are awesome. My uncle has owned 2 in his lifetime... (the only 2 to exist in Iran). When he sold his first one, he started missing it pretty quickly, and bought the other one off the Queen. Royalty knows how to live!

This was all in the 60s/70s... damn Islamic Revolution..

I think Pagini is the family name if the owner.
The rest is correct.

I think his name is Horcio Pagani. He was going to name it after his friend but he passed.

Found it:

A vocation

Horacio Pagani has had a surprising life. His passion for cars, speed and design emerged very early and, at the age of 12, he amazed everyone with models of supercars carved from wood or modelled in clay.
He made his debut into the world of racing cars when he was 20, designing an F.3 that competed in Argentina under the colours of the official Renault team. Then came an enormous number of industrial design projects in which he had an accelerated apprenticeship, combining a mixture of creativity and a maniacal search for perfection.
He met Juan Manuel Fangio, his childhood hero, who became the right person to introduce him to Modena, the home of legends like Ferrari and Lamborghini. And the miracle took place at Lamborghini.
It was Mister Alfieri who provided the young Horacio with the space to express his imagination and manual dexterity.
He started off as a third level mechanic in the bodywork department but was rapidly promoted to manager of the new composite material department. He took part in all the important projects of those years: the LMA Jeep , the restyling of the Jalpa, the design of the Countach Evoluzione (the first car in the world with a one hundred per cent carbon chassis), the Golf Caddy and the 4 valve Countach.
In 1988, he set up Pagani Composite Research which carried out various projects, including the restyling of the Countach Anniversary, for which the company also supplied the final details in composite materials.
At the height of this collaboration, Pagani worked with the team that designed the Diablo, the Lamborghini P140, the L30 and the Diablo Anniversary.
The difficult economic climate created in 1992 by the events linked to the Gulf War did not discourage Pagani from producing his own supercar.
