An awesome automotive photographer named Jeremy Cliff documented finding an iconic Lamborghini.
Between the years of 1966-’69, only 275 Lamborghini Miura P400s were ever produced…this 1967 is one of them.
Jeremy created a video interviewing the current owner “Bill”.
The video explains how Bill’s “crazy Uncle” couldn’t find parts for the Lambo which led to the Miura getting forgotten for 27 years.
Before getting to the video, let’s look at this rare find.
“The garage where the car sat from 1988 until May of 2015.”
“First peek.”
The P400 was powered by a 3.9-liter V12 engine that churned out 345 horsepower.
But the Miura isn’t “iconic” for performance, it’s the car’s design that would go on to influence future design of supercars.
Both the mid-engine layout and its sleep design would thrust Lamborghini into comparisons with the long standing Italian king of supercars…and created a rivalry between Lambo and Ferrari.

…and back to that ol’ garage.
These GIFs are just a couple moments from the documentary video.

Current owner, “Bills first look after the doors were pulled back”.
Jeremy Cliff reached-out to me a few years ago to show-off some of his work on theChive.
I did a post on his older work (back in theThrottle days) and wanted re-visit/show-off some of his new photography.
My original plan was to do a gallery on six of his coolest photoshoots…but then I came across this wild story.
I can’t wait to show you guys some of this Chiver’s awesome photos in high-res.
Jeremy’s done shoots with race cars (Audi R8 LMS above/below).
Along with muscle cars (2 Big Wing Hemi bad-boys).
And even as iconic as it gets…how iconic?
“Not too long ago I was lucky enough to be able to spend some time with this gorgeous McLaren F1 , which happens to be Chassis #001.”
