Hi Everybody, Does anybody know who translated and edited the factory"s P400 Miura S Istruzioni Tecniche manual into English?The Preface says: >>The translator and editor of this translation of the Lamborghini Miura P-400 S service manual have attempted to retain the style and format of the Italian original as much as possible. Unfortunately, a very literal translation of technical Italian into Technica1 English tends to produce too many latinisms, even if it does preserve to some extent the elegance of the original. We have chosen to use common expressions with Anglo-Saxon roots whenever necessary to make the result readable and easily understood. Fewer deviations have been made from the format of the original in order to make paragraphs and sentences not only correspond in terms of content but also in terms of page location and form. Whenever possible we have suggested U.S. equivalent for Italian automotive products difficult to obtain in this country. Readers and Miura owners are encouraged to inform the editor of any corrections, changes or product alternatives at the address below.<< Problem is, there is no name or address below.We"d like to get their permission before scanning it. Anybody know anything about who did all the English work? Thanks, Fred
