MOTOR CARS | 249The buyer was Alan Carrington, whose company then undertook
a complete ‘last nut and bolt’ rebuild over the next two years (see
summary of work on file). The Lamborghini was then sold to dealer
Phil Stubbs, from whom it was purchased by the current vendor
in 2004. The vendor had the car re-sprayed in Lamborghini Black
metallic and sent it to Lamborghini specialist Carrera Sport (Mike
Pullen) for any work that needed doing, which included a full engine
and transmission strip and rebuild (bill on file).
In 2005 the vendor commissioned the Jota headlamp conversion
from glassfibre specialists PPC Marine Fabrications Ltd, which was
made without altering the body in any way (description on file). The
original headlamps are with the car and in good condition, including
the glass. Four new wider wheels were made and fitted with the
original tyres (the original wheels, in good condition, are with the car).
Although the bodywork renovation is ten years old, there are no
signs of corrosion, while the dashboard is in very good condition
as is the rest of the interior. The vendor advises us that he has no
reason to doubt the veracity of the 53,641 kilometres (approximately
33,300 miles) recorded. The engine has recently been fitted with new
plugs and caps, and the ignition timing and carburettors adjusted.
A compression test found all cylinders above 200psi (bill on file).
Boasting a unique specification, this beautiful Miura comes with V5C
registration document and a substantial file of history.
