  • This is a different kind of story than we typically feature here on 1320Video...a $2.5 million dollar Lamborghini Miura barn find! This is a story of a man that spent his whole working life saving up for what he dubbed his dream car - a Lamborghini Miura. Earl was his name, and he loved this car. In old age, Earl drove the Miura less and less until the point it sat for 15 years without any attention. That is, until Jeff showed up at his doorstep. Jeff had been obsessing about finding a Miura and when Earl revealed to Jeff what he had sitting in his dusty old garage, Jeff’s life was changed forever. These rare exotic supercars are definitely a diamond in the rough! The unique bit about this story is that this vehicle is truly a time capsule in and of itself. This Lamborghini is all original from 1969, however it looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor!

    Great video. My father owned a 1968 Lamborghini Miura S that was one of the 3 original Lamborghini P400 SV Prototypes. He bought the car from Jake Kaplan in Rhode Island in 1972. My fathers car was a gift from Ferruccio Lamborghini to Jake Kaplan in 1970. There were 3 SV Prototypes, one was a gift to the West Coast Dealer for Lamborghini and the other was the first car and that was Certified by Lamborghini as being the one my father owned. It was a 1968 P400 Miura S that was the development platform for the SV cars. The final SV prototype was a later car, likely a 1970 car was crash tested as a rebranded S car branded as an SV in order to bring the SV models to the US market. All of the prototype cars were branded S models but all with factory SV upgrades confirmed by the larger intake and exhaust valve sizes. My father's car was unique in that included 12 single stack Weber Carbs rather than the 6 double stacks or the 4 triple stacks of the final SV cars. My father was a Master Mechanic but used to complain that it took days to tune his car since you had to balance each stack and test the car and fiddle with it some more. My father sold his car back in the early 1980s to a doctor or dentist here on the East Coast. I understand that it is still in his collection. You should contact the factory since the West Coast prototype was ORANGE and from the carb layout on yours I can't tell if you have the other unique carb layout the West Coast car had. The East Coast Car (the one my father owned) was RED. I am not sure what color the car was that was the crash test car. Jake was a great guy. My father paid a little over $13,000 for the car in 1972, about $75,000 in todays money. I understand from a friend that the doctor that owns my Dad's car now was offered $5M for it and he turned it down. I enjoyed the video.

      It's probably out the ass astronomical! Maybe tens of thousands a month? I have never owned or insured something like that before but I would imagine if totaled they would give him at least close to the appraisal value.

    • @jastanger
      @jastanger 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I really can't imagine tens of thousands a month. I think the most exotic supercars can run around $50,000 a year. It depends on how much you choose to insure it for. If you have a Veyron you might insure it for $3,000,000, or you might insure it for half of that to keep the premiums from being astronomical. It is an interesting question, though, as this guy seems to be an "average" fellow who saved up and bought a rare car from an estate and then had the value skyrocket. I doubt he's paying $50k a year, but I wouldn't be that surprised if he were paying something like $10k/year. Maybe someone will ask him.

    • @steveairlines
      @steveairlines 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      He's probably not paying that much, classic car insurance rates are way lower than brand new exotic cars that this one would compare to.

    What a great documentary. It's good to see that a down-to-earth kinda guy found this car. Someone who really appreciates and cherises it, instead of some billionaire who has 20 simular cars in his garage and hardly ever drives them.

      I'm a classic car collector and that's a totally different situation, inflation on classic cars that were mass produced.
      This is a supercar, a very rare Lamborghini plus you add the fact that how many are really left and the desire by rich folks, makes it well worth the 2 Million dollar range. It's the heritage and history of the of the Lamborghini and it's significance, that it will never lose value.
