Petrolicious catches up with auto enthusiast Dennis Varni about his 1970 Lamborghini Miura P400 S. Varni first drove and fell in love with the vehicle in the late 1960s; at the time it cost more than his newly-bought house did. Nine years later he was able to purchase the Lamborghini and it has been a treasured part of his impressive collection until today.
The car’s immaculate design features a streamlined silhouette and visible carburetors. The exterior also includes mechanical touches like eyelashes around the headlights. The Miura P400 S is still a pleasure to drive, particularly on long open roads where you can hear its V12 engine roar.

Bellissimo! The Miura is my favorite street car of all time. Ahead of its time in both styling and engineering. Yeah, it wasn’t perfect but who buys a Frank Lloyd Wright home and complains about the roof leaking. You either “get” stuff like this or you don’t. Unfortunately I get it but can’t afford it. Ah, well, it’s good to know some owners are as passionate as I am.
