    Lamborghini Miura Barn Find Could Be Worth As Much As R18 Million

    There have been some sensational barn finds over the years and this 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S is certainly no exception.

    The car seen here was found stashed in a German barn gathering dust and will be going up for auction this October hoping to find a new owner to give it the life it deserves.

    It was bought brand new back in 1971 by advertising executive Walter Becker. He then sold it to an amateur racing driver Hans-Peter Weber in 1974. Weber kept the car in pristine condition and owned it until his death in 2015. After his death, the car was transported to a friend’s barn in the Black Forest of Germany the same year where it has remained ever since.

    This is believed to be one of the last remaining examples in original and completely unrestored condition and since it has just 10,032 miles on the clock it could be worth a pretty penny or two.

    As you can see, it is still sporting the original Giallo Flay yellow paint, Skay Bleu blue interior, and engine, which hasn’t been rebuilt. As you can see from the marks above the exhaust pipes, this Miura is unapologetically raw, and it looks like the 3.9-litre V12 was well-loved during its ownership. 

    “Any Miura S is rare and desirable in its own right, but the car we are selling in London is an opportunity that would be very hard to repeat,” said Maarten ten Holder, Executive VP and Head of RM Sotheby’s Europe. “I think it’s fair to say that for many collectors an original Miura such as this, is the ultimate prize. With new dates also announced for our 13th London sale, we are delighted to have this car as an early star lot and we are confident it will attract interest from around the globe.”

    The beautiful creation will go under the hammer on the 24th of October at the RM Sotheby’s London auction where it is estimated to fetch between $965,000 and $1,2 million.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
