$5,000,000 Lamborghini Miura Last Wash Ever? Full Detail and Drive

[@Supercruze]

Back in the 1970s growing up in Richmond VA, my neighborhood friend's father owned a red Lamborghini Miura. Waking into his small garage and standing next to that car when I was not more than 10 years old left a lasting impression on me. That car was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen and seeing those carburetors peaking through the back glass was incredible. These cars are a work of art.

[@AMMO-NYC]

That's a great story, thanks for sharing!

[@Camhin1]

These kind of details are what set you apart Larry, there's alot of detailing videos on KZbin but the information and education you hand down in this video regarding preservation the different ways to approach a details is so interesting. Also I can't imagine how stressful it would be to drive that on the road. absolutely insane.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@SolamenteVees]

What a privilege, Larry. While the Countach has always been the icon from Lamborghini, the Miura has aged incredibly well. It’s truly a timely piece of rolling art.

[@FunnyFungi-dm7km]

You could have made this one an 8 hour series of videos and I’d still be here for it. It’s a beautiful car. I enjoy them all but this one is special.

[@wakakulyonetwo]

"I remember being really disappointed with the seller" for USING THE CAR ffs you can not make this up The client is a massive pos for using the miura as just a status symbol and locking it away. This is the epitome of everything that is wrong with car collecting today

[@solomonshv]

taking a rare car on the road is always a risk. i use to have a BMW 850CSi. while waiting at a red light, i got hit by drunk driver and the car was completely destroyed. ended up having to sell it for parts. you can sit there and cry and judge all you want, but in the end of the day it's not your money and it's not you taking risk.

[@wakakulyonetwo]

​@@solomonshv Sure and houses flood and burn down all the time. That is what insurance is for. Why get a car so expensive that you would be too afraid to drive it or worry that a few additional miles down the road will affect its value? Miuras cost anywhere from 800k-1.5m $ with very nice ones 2-2.5m $ which is way way less than the 5m$ for this one (which is crazy btw). Besides that, these cars have gotten to the point that they will never be written off no matter what happens to them they will always be restored. Also, cars of that vintage need to be driven often and driven pretty hard to remain in good working condition. Ever heard of the Italian tune up? Personally, I would never get anything, let alone a car, that I would never use. Like what is even the point? just to hoard various loot in your "cave" like a dragon? Live a little! because life is short and the best thing to do with money is to spend it on experiences. Ps Sad for your 850 that is a sweet ride

[@AaronBuma]

@@AMMO-NYC Thanks! Quite the quick reply, I'm only halfway through the video! That must have been a stressful detail, given the non-monetary value of the car and that you have to have the "restoration/preservation mindset". I've never wrapped up the scenario and approach with that term, but it's perfect and I'm really appreciating these older videos. My grandpa restored many ~1930s Model A's and 130 cars with original parts and stored in barns. I recall sneaking away to explore his (not) maintained barns, the smell of oil, random plants gowning in rays of sunlight coming in through cracks or broken dusty windows -

[@AaronBuma]

so thanks to you and your crew! I'd love to have a detailing bay someday and clean up folks' cars! These videos really let me build on my passion and often just have people drop off their car for free, so I can get some hands-on 'clean it up' therapy :)

[@ralphpeiris5996]

Would it be a good idea to PPF this car? Just wondering.

[@lfletcher2242]

Awesome video, but I've always wanted to know why you drive them after you clean them, instead of before? It's like undoing all of your hard work.

[@AMMO-NYC]

Cars always drive better when they’re clean. Of course, it’s delivered detailed to the client.

[@gregsly1247]

WOW!!!

[@AjayShort-d7t]

When doing vehicles like this, it's age is a massive factor when making a "game-plan" on how much you should do to it, in order to avoid compromising the material inside and out. Is there an age where you look at a car and go "Okay, this is a detail where less has to be more", like say cars that are 20 years old and older?

[@superchickensoup]

Look how the tail pipes bend down when the engine bay is open, never seen that before, how bizarre
