Lamborghini Sonata (Only 1 Made)
This drawing reminds one of the mid-engined Corvette concept cars of the sixties and early seventies but falls somewhat short of those beautiful creations when this design was finally executed in metal as the Sonata. This car was built from Lamborghini spare parts and not from a Miura donor car as some believe. - Thanks to Jim Kaminski for clearing this up.

Sonata FolderEnzo Stuardi's love of cars can be summed up by categorizing his hobby as great therapy. After owning 375 cars in 22 years, he decided to have a hand-built dream car made to his specifications by Joe (Randy) Randazzo of Randy's Auto Engineering in Clifton, New Jersey. The car was based on the Miura Drivetrain and was presented at a US Auto Show by Mr. Stuarti. A small folder/brochure was produced, I guess he must have figured someone else might want to purchase one as well.

The current whereabouts of this one-off is presently unkonwn. Lets hope it stays that way (no offense to Mr. Stuarti) or the original Miura is put right.
