Remember that famous old photo of Rod Stewart's two Lamborghini Miura's outside his house in the early 70's?
Well , I was out for a lovely walk this morning in the Winchmore Hill / Southgate area of North London and I came across the very same house that was in that photo.
Its pretty much identical today to what it looked like over 50 years ago even though many the houses down this road have had a fair bit of development this one has stayed the same.

The house is now fully rendered to the ground as well …

I bet if you went and knocked on the door and showed them the old pic they’d love it!

That's currently on the market for sale. Must be downsizing!

I've just done a search - his previous home has been relisted due to a footbler and his missus divorcing ...

You have been reading the wrong forum.
Go to Lamborghini Classics, my old photos. Somewhere around page 11 or 12 from 2017 !! You will soon see what you have been missing. Enjoy.

He had another one as well, a yellow SV (1 of 7 RHD). Sold through Talacrest a few years ago - must have gone for 1.5m + (although the house in Winchmore Hill would be worth more I'd imagine).
