Seeing your car goes up in flame can cause a hopeless feeling, but it's
killing when the car is worth $1.7 million.
A 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV worth $1.7 million, caught fire in London
over the weekend. The rare auto was formerly the fastest production car
in the world.
Based on Youtube video posted over the weekend, it seems that car's
mid-engine design was the fatal flaw. the bulk of the fire is centered
on the spot between the front and rear axles where the car's engine
lies.
Traffic stopped on the street as the fire raged on while waiting for the
emergency crew. But by the time the fire fighters arrived, the car's
rear tires were completely gone while it's midsection appeared to be
gutted.
According to James Cottingham, Classic car specialist, he said "The
Lamborghini Miura SV is never beyond repair, it will need full
restoration but the car will be back on the road."
