Some bloke who does Youtube videos. Seems he used his internet money to buy the Lambo and even released a song about it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=708mjaHTwKc

May be of interest to some, though appreciate it's not a supercar.

One of only 85 ever made. Tickford Turbo Capri.
Great spot. Do you know the attrition rate? Numbers made versus numbers still out and about?Penfolds said:
Love these...I think it was Kant who reckoned there were four key tenets or aspects of what we think as beauty: beauty is 'disinterested', 'universal', 'necessary', and sort of purposeful without purpose. I think I have that right!
He saw real separation between what is our usual rational judgement (i.e. Bar Rafaeli is a fox in anyone's books - that's just clearly rational, right?) and aesthetic judgments (e.g. "...hmmm, Michelangelo's Laurentian Library is incredible and enchanting isn't it, Patrice?".
Anyway he laboured the point that aesthetic thoughts are not based on concepts, or things that we definitely know, but on intuitions or sensations. Just general feeling, you know? Anyway, before I get completely lost remembering some philosophical cul-de-sac, focussing on Kant's view that a valid judgment of beauty is that it is 'disinterested', well, he meant that it isn't derived from any normal pattern. Merely sensory intuition that what you see you know is right, that its offers a full, detached pleasure. You know when you know.
Anyway....that's the Miura. Complete unadulterated, undiluted, detached, pleasure. A truly beautiful car.

Just going by the "How Many Left" website it would appear that there were 7 road taxed in 2014.However I guess there would be a fair amount stored in collections never to see the road again.
