When Was This Lamborghini Miura SV Purchased 'A 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV, hidden for decades behind a bricked-up wall in northern Italy, has finally been revealed. Purchased in 1975 for just $11,000, the owner held onto the car for over 40 years, refusing every offer!" revealed the viral post, with a clip attached next to it. In the clip, one can see the owner finally taking the classic Lamborghini model out of his garage, looking in prime shape despite crossing 4 decades since it was manufactured by the leading sports car maker. The post claimed it had been purchased at a price of $11,000 by the owner, who held it close to his heart and refused offers to resell the great vehicle. 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV Found In Rare Bruno Metallizzato The colour of this 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV instantly caught eyeballs, as it was finished in a rare Bruno Metallizzato, which is 'one of only two known in this colour".

His genuine surprise and happiness are visible as he takes in the sight of the sleek electric sports car. A Closer Look at the MG Cyberster The MG Cyberster is a powerful and feature-packed electric sports car designed to turn heads. It is inspired by MG's classic MGB Roadster but comes with a modern twist. The car features stylish butterfly doors, a long hood, a convertible roof, bright LED headlights, and large 20-inch wheels that give it a true sports car look. Despite its sporty design, the Cyberster is fully electric, making it MG's high-performance electric offering. Under the hood, the Cyberster is equipped with a 77 kWh battery and a dual-motor system.

Its claimed driving range is about 580 kilometres on a single charge, though real-world use might give around 400 kilometres, which is excellent for a sports car in this segment. MG has loaded the Cyberster with several premium features. Inside, there is a triple-screen setup for infotainment and controls, automatic climate control with seat ventilation, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and a 360-degree camera for easy parking and manoeuvring.

Akash Deep hsrp notice Just days after buying a Toyota Fortuner, India pacer Akash Deep has received a notice from the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department for driving the vehicle without a High Security Registration Plate (HSRP), according to India Today . The 28-year-old had posted on social media about purchasing the car after returning from the Test series between India and England. HSRPs are number plates with features like laser codes, holograms, and non-removable screws, designed to prevent theft or tampering. They are mandatory under Indian law. Dealer also penalised The report said Akash Deep's black Toyota Fortuner was delivered without an HSRP. M/s Sunny Motors, the Lucknow-based dealer, has been suspended for one month for failing to complete the registration process. The dealer has 14 days to respond to the notice. The top model of the Toyota Fortuner is priced at over ₹62 lakh. 'Dream delivered' moment 'Dream delivered. Keys received. With the ones who matter most,' Akash Deep posted on Instagram, sharing pictures of the car with his family. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akash Deep (@ From England tour to controversy Akash Deep played three Tests in the India-England series, taking 13 wickets. His standout performance came in the second Test at Edgbaston, where he took 10 wickets and scored a half-century. He dedicated the match haul to his elder sister, who is undergoing cancer treatment. 'My message was not just for my sister; it was for the entire country and the world, emphasizing the importance of standing by loved ones during difficult times,' he said. On-field exchanges with Ben Duckett The pacer also spoke about his on-field conversation with England opener Ben Duckett during the Oval Test. "I told Duckett, 'You won't be the only one hitting; I'll hit too. Sometimes you miss, and I hit'," Akash Deep said. He added that Duckett had told him he would not be dismissed, and his reply was in response. Final day at the Oval Recalling the series finale, Akash Deep said, "I woke up early due to excitement, knowing we needed four wickets, and England wanted just 35 runs, and that only we three pacers had to do it. But we believed in ourselves, and the England batters apparently panicked. We didn't know the ball would start swinging in the morning, but once it did, we realized the wickets would fall quickly, and that's what happened." Praise for Siraj On bowling partner Mohammed Siraj, he said, "As a fast bowler, he is fit, and the way he puts in effort behind the ball sets him apart. Playing five consecutive matches is commendable. From this, one learns that being mentally fit is more important than being physically fit."
