Hmmm. Something not quite right about this. No-one in the car anyway.

Agreed value or market value?

From what i remember...

Something burst in the engine bay causing a combustable liquid to spew onto the engine, which ignited and caused the fire. The owner escaped unhurt which is the main thing.

The early Miura's were famous for igniting on a regular occasion.... something about Lambos?

After taking some time to translate it, (my Deutsch is a bit rusty...)...

A Lamborghini of value 300,000 Euro caught fire in Rutzendorf. A colleague of the owner stopped the car immediately when he noticed a flame. The passenger and the driver escaped without harm. The fire-department extinguished the flame, but it was beyond repair.

That www page is from a local Austrian auxiliary fire brigade.
Auxiliary fire brigades are well known to have their focus on either social activities or on deliberate Samaritanism.
Hence, I stereotype the member's motives to join the auxiliary fire brigade either because there were no local bowling clubs or carrier pigeon unions, or they needed some form of important role/function in their life.
I see my theory supported by the fact that the first thing they did when they arrived at the scene was to take photographes to document their work in order to publish it later on the internet.

Nevertheless, I'm impressed that they have waited to get their group picture (I count at least sixteen people) until they extinguished the fire - posing in front of a burning car would make a more sensational theme for their website pictures

Wasn't it related to the poor "air box" design ?
I understand it the engine designers had to reduce the size of the airbox to make it fit below the rear bonnet ...
