Miura and models
This past Saturday I had the unique pleasure to spend some time with a true car enthusiast with a tremendous car history.This is one of those finds that you only get through viral people in the know. In this case, my friend Mike is an ultra connected car guy. He knows what’s up and going on around and has car people and stories everywhere. Mike and I drove out to his place and brought a conversation piece for the visit; my 1:8 Lamborghini Miura S model from Agora Models.https://www.agoramodels.com/.
I spent several months assembling this very large and highly detailed kit and thought he would enjoy seeing. It was a pretty good assumption considering he had, nestled a floor below us, the real thing from 1968! My oldest and I had been there over the holidays to see the Miura and he shared great stories from driving up north, to Italian car festivals to running it flat out at the old Packard proving grounds in Michigan doing 160 mph+ while Shelby of America club members chased on the oval, banked track. It’s moementd like these that as a car enthusiast you get to treasure the history, the common bond over these amazing machines. It’s incredible to be able to see a “barn” find car of such rarity and beauty while it still remains undiscovered. Hiding in its spot undisturbed. A few pics attached of my (little) Miura and his real one!! Given there were ever only 338 of these produced it will go down in our memories as a very special movement.
Have any of you had a barn find moment? Built any models of your hero cars? I highly recommend doing both!
