Ferrari 365 GT4 BB - Spirited Driver Car Tales 2020-08-29 | This owner grew up in Japan in the 1970s which happened to be around the same time Japan started importing cars from Europe. Cars like the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB, Lamborghini Countach and 911s started gracing dealership floors and immediately grew in popularity. So much so that a T.V. show and comic book that was developed around characters and their Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Lotuses, etc that was watched by the whole family. The owner of this 365 GT4 BB shares his story of how he grew up being part of the Ferrari 365 fan club with fellow school mates and of course, wanted to own one of his own one day. The car he ended up purchasing decades later turned out to originally be from Japan, and quite possibly was one of the 365s he saw as a child at local car shows and dealerships.

The car was taken back to Lamborghini and rebuilt using the same VIN to avoid additional taxes and counted twice in the production run of roughly 748 Miuras ever produced.The Lamborghini Miura S is one of the most significant pieces of automotive design thanks to its ingenious group of engineers and designers that took part in its development.

Today the car is growing its own cult following thanks to relatively affordable pricing when compared to its E30 and E46 cousins, its capable handling and epic exhaust note.
