Some automotive stories go far beyond what we would call coincidence — and this one is the perfect example.
+ The 2005 Ford GT owned by Paul Walker is up for sale and is expected to reach an impressive value
A newly hired salesperson at Curated, a renowned classic-car dealership in Miami, ended up finding a 1971 Lamborghini Miura S that had been missing for almost three decades. The detail: the car belonged to his boss’s father.
Ross, the new salesman, had been hired after months of persistence and, during his search for rare gems, located a Lamborghini Miura parked in a garage in California. Since Curated specializes in exotic cars, especially classic Lamborghinis and Ferraris, the interest was immediate.
The more information surfaced about the model, the more founder John Temerian began to suspect the unlikely coincidence: it could be the exact same Miura his father drove in the 1970s.
According to Luxury Launches, the vehicle found had the exact characteristics of the car owned by Temerian Sr.: red paint, chrome mirrors on the hood, black leather interior, original air conditioning, full North American specifications, and a speedometer marking 320 km/h — details rare enough to raise inevitable suspicion.
Temerian purchased the car without alerting his father and brought it to Miami. The confirmation arrived in almost cinematic fashion: upon seeing the Miura in person, his father looked for a unique detail — an alarm lock installed decades earlier by John’s grandfather, when the car had passed through the family’s old workshop. When he found the piece in the exact same place, there was no doubt. It was the car from his youth, bought when he was only 16 years old and used as his main means of transportation to school.
The discovery gained even more strength two weeks later, when an old photograph surfaced confirming the story. The Miura had passed through other owners over the years, while its first owner continued to buy new models, never imagining that this particular example was truly unique.
Now, after half a century, the iconic red Miura is back with the Temerian family — not by chance, but through the unlikely combination of destiny, memory and automotive passion.
