Reality check....

[Mr Cerbera]

Have just read that this Miura - which has been "stored" in a garage for 42 years was going up for auction yesterday. Does anyone know how much it fetched ?



Whilst reading the specs I realised that my Cerb is more powerful than it was.....

Bring on that snow

Hi Paul

It's a Lamborghini Miura S one of only 140 ever built.

The car was given to Aristotle Onassis as a present by his favorite Greek popstar at the time.

It lay undiscovered in a warehouse for years.

The cars estimate is £370,000 so will be interesting to see what She eventually sells for.

The auction was yesterday (Tuesday 4th Dec)

A couple of years ago a friend of mine sold his Muira SV, surely the automotive equivalent of the Mona Lisa, and bought the first Bertone Mantide - probably the world's Fuggliest car.

Cheers Si,

but I heard that it was Onasis that gave the car to the Greek singer (who was a bit of a demon rally driver)

Hi Paul,

heard Rod Stewart on the Chris Evans show the other week saying how he'd sold his Miura for £6,ooo. Oooh the sorrow in that Scot's voice when he later found out that it had traded hands for £1M +

( Still less power than a good Cerb tho' )

A 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV sold at the 2012 Scottsdale Auction this year for $1 Million that's £620925

I saw one at Prescott last year and had a good chat with the owner who seemed like a really nice bloke.

Sorry Paul, you are right, I've just checked online and it was Onassas that gave the singer the car.
