Lamborghini Miura SV Jota being pawned + other exotics

[Streetrod]

Was watching this on 4OD about the Pawn industry and was amazed by some of the cars this particular company had taken in against loans. What dropped my jaw was seeing an SV Jota in the mix, does anyone recognise it? As well as the Lambo they had a Porsche 959 and what looked like a 300 SL Gullwing. Jump to 2.15 if you just want to see the cars:

I understand the need for a business to have cash flow but for some reason never realised people would use their classics to raise short term cash. But I suppose if the car is gaining in value it kind of makes sense

"They don't want their neighbours to know, so we're discrete" ... But they'll show them on TV? There can't be many red Miura SV Jota's in the UK!

Is there actually any *genuine* Miura Jota? Seem there was only one made, since ruined in crash/fire.

There were 5 cars modified to look like Jota, but all were relatively superficial (3 do have the dry-sump engine) changes, rather than wholesale chnages into the racer owned by Bob Wallace.

Some cars went back to the factory to be modified. Some were done by adventurous dealers with factory parts. Others are of mixed provenance. Values vary accordingly. All
