Man casually keeps Lamborghini Miura he bought for $10K in living room for 40 years, it’s now worth more than his house

A man has been casually keeping a Lamborghini Miura that he bought for $10K in his living room for 40 years; it’s now worth more than his house.

The man literally rebuilt a room around his Lamborghini Miura, not abandoning it in the traditional sense, but driving it into his house, rebuilding the wall behind it, and making it more of a display piece.

He was visited by the Extreme Detailing team from the Discovery Channel who were impressed by the condition they found it in, but they had to do some demolition to remove the supercar from the living room.

The supercar gets the chance to see sunlight for the first time in 40 years and despite its untraditional preservation techniques, it was a truly unique find.

Man casually keeps Lamborghini Miura in living room for 40 years

When you get yourself a bargain, the first thing you’re going to do is show it off to everyone you meet, but this supercar owner has done that in the most unorthodox way.

40 years ago, he managed to purchase a Lamborghini Miura for just $10K and to celebrate such a bargain, he decided that instead of leaving it in a garage where it could be damaged, it was going elsewhere.

The Lamborghini Miura is known as the first modern supercar, and so, he drove his Lambo in through the garage and into the living room, where he bricked up the wall, sealing the car in pride of place for 40 years.

The Extreme Detailing team from the Discovery Channel got a call that the perfectly preserved supercar was hidden behind the walls of a normal house in a normal neighborhood, and it was time for it to come out.

They had to destroy the house to get the supercar

When the team arrived, they were seriously impressed by the state they found the car in, it had been hidden away from extreme weather, rodent nests, and was kept in a climate-controlled environment – it was pristine.

The team had to authenticate the supercar, but the engine and chassis numbers matched, meaning that a Miura in this condition could now earn up to $2 million or more, more than the house it was parked in.

The only problem was getting it out of said house, the team had to destroy the wall that was sealed when it first entered the home, but when the Miura saw the light of day it was even more impressive.

The whole experience was described as unbelievable, and the team truly struck gold – a far cry from the usually very dirty and run down vehicles they get to work on.
