PEBBLE BEACH CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE 10 Years and


Untold Hours As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes cars, being invited to show my Miura at Pebble Beach was in itself an amazing honor. Over the course of ten years, untold hours were spent detailing and thoughtfully refurbish- ing my car to make it what it is today. Winning not only the Miura class but also the Best Postwar Preservation Award was something beyond my wildest expectations. Having my family there to share the experience with me and the camaraderie of amazing friends like fellow Pebble Beach entrant and Lamborghini Club President Andrew Romanowski (who none of this would have been possible without—Andrew was the behind the scenes catalyst that drove the Miura 50th celebration in Monterey!) was a compliment to one of the most incredible weekends of my adult life. It must be mentioned that although these cars are made with simple technology compared to the modern supercar, they are handmade masterpieces of automotive art, and require care from skilled and experi- enced mechanics if they are to function properly. One such mechanic has led my Miura journey and therefore given me the automotive experience of a lifetime: Miura special- ist Jeff Stephan of Los Angeles, California.
