Lamborghini Miura P400 S 1971

Allmän beskrivning : 1971 LAMBORGHINI Miura P400 S, 2 Door Coupe, Blu Notte, Nero Leather, previous owners 4, number of keys 2, 17,852 miles,
We are extremely proud to offer this fabulous Miura for sale, probably the best example of such a car for sale anywhere in the world.

Even greatness can be improved upon. In 1968, Lamborghini introduced its updated Miura P400S, which featured a V-12 with revised camshafts that was good for a power output of over 370 horsepower and was mounted on a stiffened chassis.
This model was, in turn, followed by the epically exciting, ultimate production Miura, the P400SV, which was first shown at Geneva in 1971.
The SV offered even greater performance and improved handling, and it boasted 385 horsepower, with separate lubrication for the engine and gearbox, a limited-slip differential, completely revised suspension, and a leather interior. The rear track was widened five inches, to accommodate wider wheels, which necessitated the Dino-like “flaring” of the rear body panels. Most menacingly of all were the distinctive laid-back headlamps, which lost their “eyelashes” in favour of the masculine plain black surrounds.

With a top speed of 180 mph, it is no wonder that numerous owners of earlier Miuras elected to have their automobiles upgraded to this ultimate specification.

The P400S offered here is an original United Kingdom-delivery example that was supplied to its first owner, rock legend Rod Stewart, by Lamborghini Concessionaires Ltd. of Alie Street, London.
A copy of its original records, which were kept by Derek Hopkins of said dealership, is included in the file. Also included in the file is a copy of the original delivery sheet, which notes the car as having right-hand drive, factory air conditioning, and seatbelts.
The file also has a copy of a photo of Stewart’s then girlfriend, model Dee Harrington, with two Miuras, one of which is an S with this car’s original British registration, JLL 831K.

The car passed from Rod Stewart through to owners in Wiltshire, Kent, and Cambridge. In 1976, the Miura was acquired by Clive Hugo Nagel, and then it passed to Michael Baker, of Horley, in April 1983. The car was then acquired by the present British caretaker, who has retained ownership of it for the past two decades.
As such, this Miura has known ownership history since new.

The current owner selected to transform this car into the SV specification, with the necessary front and rear clam modifications, suspension upgrades, and rear lights. Importantly, the car’s bulkhead, engine, and chassis all bear correct numbers for the original S, and they are original to the car.

More recently, the Miura has been restored in its SV configuration by noted marque specialist Colin Clarke Engineering.
Suspension, steering, brakes, and hubs were all rebuilt to concours condition, and all components have been properly and correctly finished.
An exhaustive overhauling of the wiring, dashboard instruments, supply lines, and tyres was undertaken, and the steering and suspension have all been laser-aligned.
The body was beautifully refinished in the factory colour of Blu Notte, and it has black leather upholstery of the correct pattern and correct carpets.
The Miura also has its original front windscreen and side glass, which remain in excellent condition.
The SV conversion and recent restoration work undertaken has cost approximately £100,000.

It really does need to be seen to be appreciated, it look like a brand new Miura.

This Miura is beautifully presented and ready for show. It is a rare configuration that has the highest possible performance and the most beautiful colours.
It is as exciting today as it must have been for its original owner, “Rod the Mod”, back in 1971.

The car is presented with a beautiful file, showing many photos of its restoration along with invoices and documents, including the original bill of sale.

Please note, some of the photos used are from a previous photoshoot.
This car deserves the best weather for us to do our usual photos, so they will be done as soon as we can.

We welcome international enquiries and can arrange shipping anywhere in the world.

om Lamborghini
Åh, den heta historien om Lamborghini, en sann ikon född ur gnistorna av frustration med det springande hästens märke! Föreställ dig själv i början av 1960-talet, en tid då bilvärlden dominerades av sådana som Ferrari. Och där kommer Ferruccio Lamborghini in i bilden, en framgångsrik traktortillverkare och en man med en passion för kraftfulla maskiner.

Akt 1: Frustrationen (1963)
Ferruccio, stolt ägare till flera Ferraris, fann sig missnöjd med kopplingen i sin 250 GT. Frustration drev honom rakt in i Enzo Ferraris kontor för att ventilera sina klagomål. Mötet gick inte som planerat, med Enzo avfärdande Ferruccios bekymmer och föreslog att han skulle hålla sig till att bygga traktorer. Tja, det var som att vifta med en röd flagga framför en tjur.

Akt 2: Lamborghinis Födelse (1963)
Driven av en blandning av frustration och beslutsamhet beslutade sig Ferruccio för att ta saken i egna händer. År 1963 grundade han Automobili Lamborghini. Hans vision? Att skapa grand touring-bilar som rivaliserade, eller till och med överträffade, Ferraris erbjudanden.

Akt 3: Banbrytande Modeller (1960-talet-1970-talet)
Och så började Lamborghinis legend med lanseringen av Miura 1966. Designad av Marcello Gandini var detta mittmotoriska mästerverk en pionjär, världens första riktiga superbil. Med en V12-motor monterad bakom föraren satte Miura standarden för prestanda och stil.

Efter Miuras framgång introducerade Lamborghini den ikoniska Countach i början av 70-talet. Marcello Gandini arbetade återigen sitt magi och födde ett kilformat underverk som blev ett affischbarn för en hel generation. Countach var inte bara en bil; det var en bilrevolution.

Akt 4: Designmästarna
Bakom kulisserna spelade designers som Marcello Gandini och senare Giugiaro avgörande roller för att forma Lamborghinis distinkta estetik. Gandinis arbete med Miura och Countach befäste Lamborghinis rykte för djärva, kantiga designer som utmanade gränserna för bilsstyling.

Akt 5: Arvet och Moderna Underverk
När decennierna rullade på fortsatte Lamborghini att innovera och producera ikoniska modeller. Diablo, Murciélago, Aventador och de mer moderna Huracán och Urus bär alla Lamborghini-DNA - en perfekt blandning av kraft, prestanda och omisskännlig design.

Epilog: En Häftig Rivalitet
Lamborghini-Ferrari-rivaliteten blev legendarisk och drev båda företagen att pressa gränserna för bilteknik. Lamborghini, född av frustration, framträdde inte bara som en konkurrent utan som en pionjär, som ledde vägen för mittmotoriska superbilar som fortsätter att fängsla entusiaster över hela världen.

Så, där har du det, den episka sagan om Lamborghini - en berättelse om frustration som förvandlades till en symfoni av dånande motorer, eleganta designer och ett arv som för alltid förändrade landskapet för högpresterande bilar. Hej då!
