I grew up a few houses away from the shed they pulled this Miura out of (although being way too young to have it seen stored in there back in the days). Like many others, I came to this channel via Harry's Garage and I was more than thrilled to find this car in the workshop and have been excited to see it's story continue ever since. It's incredible that the internet, KZbin and Iain let me follow the story of this particular car. Thank you, Mr. Tyrrell, for letting me take part in the journey!

[@D15Deutz]

Meine Auto-Begeisterung begann Anfang der 80er-Jahre. Einen Lamborghini habe ich nur auf der IAA in Frankfurt gesehen zu der ich immer mit meinem Vater fuhr. Ich glaube den ersten Miura habe ich am Nürburgring gesehen, auf dem Wiesenparkplatz neben Manta und BMW E30. Damals war es noch etwas absolut besonderes und sehr seltenes, überhaupt einen Lamborghini zu sehen. Heute sieht man ja fast täglich einen. Wenn ich so ein Auto in der Nachbarschaft gehabt hätte, ich glaube ich wäre jeden Tag dort vorbeigelaufen um es zu sehen. Fantastisch! Ian‘s Kanal ist genial, ich kann kaum glauben, dass die Restauration jetzt schon 3 Jahre läuft. Ich hoffe für Sie, dass Sie den Wagen noch einmal sehen. Viele Grüße aus der Eifel, Roger 👍🙋🏻‍♂️

[@maxheeschter3009]

@@D15Deutz um ehrlich zu sein, es war mir sehr lange Zeit nicht bewusst. Der Besitzer hat ihn quasi nie gefahren, vor allem nicht, als er älter wurde (oder zumindest hat es niemand mitbekommen). Mein Vater hat mir erzählt, dass wir den Miura zusammen zwei, dreimal gemeinsam gesehen haben, als ich noch ein kleines Kind war und es jedes Mal der Höhepunkt meines Tages gewesen ist. Für mich ist das eine sehr ferne, wohl aber auch sehr positive Erinnerung. Aber keinem von uns war bewusst, dass er nach all den Jahren immernoch an seinem Platz stand. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem er wieder ans Tageslicht gekommen ist. Für mich, ich bin Jahrgang 1990, ist dieses Fahrzeug vermutlich der maßgebliche Grund, dass ich mich hauptsächlich für Autos begeistere, die lange vor meiner Geburt gebaut wurden. Und ja, ich würde mich unendlich freuen, wenn sich meine Wege und die dieses Fahrzeugs noch einmal kreuzen würden. Vielleicht genauso unterwartet, wie die Tatsache, dass ich es auf diesem Kanal entdeckt habe. Grüße in die Eifel vom Rand des Schwarzwaldes Max

[@iain_tyrrell]

A huge thanks! Hope you get something from all of them. Your support is greatly appreciated

[@artistglyn]

At 73 I have been around classic cars for some time, and have watched more young, ill-informed presenters on KZbin that I can poke a stick at. To watch this video has been a joy. Not only is the Mura one of my all time favourite cars, but the story of the restoration, and the obvious knowledge of the presenter , makes it compulsive viewing. A lot of cars are put under the classic umbrella these days, but in reality they are collectors cars, not classics. This is truly a classic among classics.

[@javelsaudades6537]

Fantastic Iain; great singing! :) Congrats to you and your team! Great show as always, all ways!❤ Thanks Namaste!!!!

[@piuthemagicman]

This 27 year old man from Finland got a bit emotional too. What an extraordinary restoriation job from you & the crew! To add to that, this has to be best automotive content on YT. Simply first class. Cheers, Samu Mähönen

[@antonybarnett6870]

Like others I came to this channel from Mr Metcalf, and so glad I did. It was very obvious how much you enjoyed that driving experience, and, with your huge and well revered technical knowledge you summarised that it was 'a good day at the office' - how relatable. Please make some time soon to start an autobiography you must have some amazing stories to share and little technical 'snippets' from the cars (certainly of my youth) that were and always remain just 'magical'. I'm 60 and you've encapsulated all of the emotion and 'wellbeing' in driving these exotics that I used to dream of as a small boy. Write the book and share some amazing moments (Like when you 'tuned' the Lamborghini Riva Aquarama Series 2). Many Thanks May your hosepipe continue to bring music to your ears Sir.

I'm old enough to remember when the Muira and the Ferrari Daytona were released in the 1960s. The supercars of those days were cars you could actually use. They weren't like the modern supercars that are too impractical for everyday use. Lovely job, Iain.

I think we're on the downward part of the curve now as regards the enthusiastic, heart felt connection between a soulful car and its driver. The vast majority of people just see it as a means of getting from a to b, similar to to how they did when the car was first introduced.

[@axelfriederich366]

Thanks for sharing your inspiring hapiness. This car (and all that work you did on it) means a lot to me because it's so close to my experience with the same car owned by my father since 73 in the same original condition (stored untouched during almost 30 years) with the same work needed at almost the same time, not far from the Black Forest. Even the lack of side mirrors is shared (and this car deserve it). I'm sure the customer will be delighted and I really hope to share some interesting roads with him in the near future... maybe in April or May because with a friend, we have a project to bring together 3 Miuras in Alsace including one from Germany. This yellow jewel would be the sherry on the Schwarzwald. In the meantime, I'm going to watch all these coming fantastic videos. Thank you, Mr Tyrrell.
