Introducing the brand new 1/18 scale car model of the 1968 Lamborghini Miura Roadster Light Blue Metallic Limited Edition to 999 pieces Worldwide by GT Spirit. This model car comes in a brand new box and features real rubber tires, true-to-scale detail, and a detailed interior and exterior. It is an officially licensed product and comes in the manufacturer's original unopened packaging. The dimensions of this model car are approximately L-9.5, W-4.25, H-2.5 inches and it is made of resin with no openings.
The Lamborghini Miura is widely considered to be the most beautiful Lambo on the market. However, many are not aware that there was a roadster version of this iconic car. This unique model was created by Carrozzeria Bertone, starting with a basic Miura (chassis no.3498) and transforming it into a magnificent roadster. It was first presented at the Brussels Motor Show in 1968 and caused quite a stir. Unfortunately, Lamborghini never went into production with the Roadster version and only one copy was ever sold.
This one-of-a-kind Miura Roadster was sold to the International Lead and Zinc Research Organization (ILZRO) and underwent significant modifications before being donated to the Brookline Museum of Transportation. It then changed hands multiple times before ending up with Adam Gordon, who invested 200,000€ to restore it to its original 1968 look. It was then presented at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where it finished in second place. The car was eventually sold for 7,000,000 euros and its current owner is unknown.
