Some lucky person in one of the Hansa Stadt's (Hamburg) has a charmed life, we visited many of them in area whilst working out there but never saw this beauty

Don't think I've ever seen one in BRG before (other versions of BRG are available before racing colour specialists jump on me! 🙂) .... gives the design a solidity and gravitas some of the more flamboyant colours don't ... always one of the great shapes in motoring history but this really brings that out without distraction!
Really enjoyed aspects of this vid. I wonder how many different cars are today described as THE ultimate by those trying to earn a coin in a multitude of related ways...? Admittedly I also enjoy much of the reasoning behind the many and varied reasons of why this that or the other is THE greatest... (-:
Interesting video - thanks for posting. Reminded me of when I lived in a basement flat in Cheltenham from 1969 for three years. The windows were at street level. A chap across the road opposite arrived in a red/silver Miura - the exhausts were pointing towards our windows - boy did the rattle when he started up.
As you might expect, of course I have a Lambo tale to tell, though a short one this time... (-:
Circa 1972 when rebuilding an US Sailors idea of a Norton Dominator chopper (!) and converting into my idea of a café racer in my lock-up at the time, it seems there was a used car salesman living in a nearby house, thus occasionally interesting sports cars would be parked in the street outside his house, and that is where I first saw the wonder that turned out to be a Muria, this one in white, though with a bullet hole in the windscreen..! For sure there was some story of a Arabian owner, though whether someone tried to assassinate him or whether it was he who shot it when it broke down....? However when it was fired up it did sound a bit like a bag of bolts, all be it very noisy one... Hmm..
