I sold this to the Prime Minister of Kuwait 3 years ago. I miss it, but I look at my bank account and I feel better.

I'd love to own either/both of these, to drive and to look at. The Miura had the most amazing blue leather interior!

The Lamborghini Urraco has some really nice lines... beautifully proportioned:




And the Opel GT/W Genève concept shown at the '75 Geneva Auto Show (to be powered by a Wankel rotary) is another beautiful design:

I'd actually considered posting a pic of your car, but didn't know if it would be a sore spot. Glad it seems like you don't have long term sellers remorse.

Wow, so similar to the lambo. I prefer the Opel

I DO miss it, but realistically it made absolutely no sense to keep it. It represented about 1/4 of my net worth, at the time, and I had it under insured by at least 50%. I only drove it because it needed to be driven once in a while.
