Andrew Romanowski with his late Miura S (the 611th Miura built; Bertone body #711 with a Lamborghini production date of April 9th 1971), A&A Premier Classics with their early Miura SV (the 616th Miura built; Bertone body #716 with a Lamborghini production complete date of March 8th 1971), and Adam Carolla with his Miura SV (the 647th Miura built; Bertone body #747 with a Lamborghini production complete date of October 29th 1971). Jeff Meier’s Miura S is a well-known very original and authentic example that has been shown at many events over the past decade, often winning top awards. Jeff bought his Miura in 2005 from Earl Morris of Oregon, who had owned the car since 1971. Earl origi- nally wanted a new Miura, but could not get one due to the rarity of Miuras in the United States. So once a used one (just over a year old) came into the local Chicago sports car dealer, he purchased it. A few years later Earl retired and moved to Oregon, making the trip from Chicago in his Lam- borghini Miura! In the more than 30 years that fol- lowed, Earl enjoyed the Miura ownership experience

to the fullest, and although regretful, was happy to pass ownership onto another person passionate about the brand. Since Jeff ’s purchase of the car, he has generously shared his passion for the Lamborghini brand by driving and showing the car as much as possible in his free time. His Miura has been shown a various events including Cars & Coffee in Los Angeles, Palos Verdes Concours in 2006, Concours on the Avenue in Carmel, Te Quail Motorsports Gathering in 2006 where it won the Super Car class, again at the Quail in 2013, Concorso Italiano in 2005 just after he purchased it, and again at Concorso Italiano in 2015 where it won best Lamborghini and there- fore earned the famous Bull Award from the Lamborghini Club America. Jeff ’s meticulous care of the car coupled with the originality and authenticity of it make it one of the best examples in the world. Jerry Brubaker’s Miura S is another well-known example in the Lamborghini community, previously owned by the late club member David Walters of Hawaii. During his ownership David Walters did a no-cost- spared restoration of the car in 1998 which included paint
