Equipment
3929/370hp, 5-speed, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, upgraded to split sump.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Restored in 2000 with numerous upgrades including a split sump (the engine and gearbox on earlier Miuras like this originally shared the same oil supply), front chassis stiffeners, a solid front shock tower brace, modified frame rails to deflect more air to the radiator and front brake rotors, and cross-drilled SV brakes with carbon/Kevlar pads and braided steel lines. Famed Lamborghini test driver and engineer Bob Wallace also rebuilt the engine as well as added a limited-slip differential. The paint has a few cracks on the driver's side edge of the clamshell where it meets the door. The crevice where the door hinges sit is dirty. The engine compartment shows some age and use and has some minor grime, the interior has some wrinkling and creasing to the seats from use. What appears to be an old restoration with some miles and numerous, but tasteful, upgrades.
Market commentary
This Miura sold at the RM Sotheby's Elkhart collection auction in 2020 for $1,160,000. That sale was noted for what was at the time exuberant results, but the Miura was a sensible compromise that discounted the car for miles and modifications but recognized the added safety and usability that those modifications provide. This price in 2024 may be significantly higher, but the Miura market has moved a lot in the past four years, and a less than $1.9M final price for a solid P400 S is soft.
