The 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV, locked away for decades in a bricked-up room within a crumbling Palazzo in northern Italy, is a discovery that surpasses typical barn finds. The late owner bought the car in 1975 for 7,500,000 Lire (around $11,000) and spent 40 years fending off persistent buyers while keeping the car securely hidden. This Miura, one of only two built in 'Bruno Metallizzato' with a 'Pelle Avana' interior, is the seventh-to-last car made and remains cosmetically unrestored. After a long pursuit, the car was finally uncovered and will not be restored but carefully preserved in its original state and remain in Italy.
