OCTOBER 1997 LAMBORGHINI MIURA

Imagine trotting down to the BMW dealer in search of a used 318 and finding this crouched on the forecourt. How BMW Sydney came to acquire a Lamborghini Miura went unexplained but chrome rings around the headlights suggest that this is the later ‘S’ version and one of only 150 made. Seldom-used supercars can be a source of problems so that ‘1000 miles since complete rebuild’ might not be the bonus it seemed. Even so, $200,000 a few years before Miura demand blossomed ranks this car as a major bargain.

SINCE THEN: Despite turning 50 the Mi ur a still ranks amongst the most desirable automotive design so fall time. It took until 2014 for someone to pay $1 M+ for a Mi ur aS but sales since then have all achieved seven figure prices.
