miuraroadster Hello Gorgeous: Only Miura Roadster Up For Bid

You read right. It doesn’t get any rarer or more delicious than this. It’s the only genuine Miura Roadster – the topless version of the car that set Lamborghini down a path of sultry sheet metal. Commissioned to show off just how well lead and zinc could be used in auto manufacturing (it was almost the ‘70’s, after all), this ’68 showed her stuff at the Brussels Auto Show that year. This same car showed up at this year’s Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance, taking a second in class over all. As the item description from the Swiss Auction house so eloquently points out “There is only one original Miura Roadster and this is it.” Something tells us one very wealthy, very lucky individual is going to have one very happy holiday this year. There’s no word on an opening bid, but you can guess this girl will see coinage in the millions. [Source: 0-60]

    Saw this at Pebble, tucked away with the other Lambos overlooking the sea, and constrained by the velvet ropes. I can just imagine the sounds that engine would make without a roof to soften the impact of twelve thirsty throats feeding the Bizzarrini-designed aluminum and magnesium masterpiece. Sadly, it’s too valuable to realize that dream.
