Behold: the 1971 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV Speciale – the world’s first mid-engined supercar. Launched in 1964 and based on Kiwi test driver Bob Wallace’s experimental Miura Jota, only 764 were made of which only 150 were SVs.
This vehicle, with its original 385bhp 4-litre V12 power plant and Oro Metallizzato paintwork has had a full Concours restoration, making it, arguably, the finest survivor of its type.
Yours at auction tomorrow (for the second time this year) for about €2.25 million.
Never mind.

Oh, James, etc.

UPDATE:
When I put it to the Taoiseach that the regulations may require bars to record what each individual diner ordered, he scoffed and dismissed this as not being the case at all
