Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty, will offer a 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV with an estimated value of $3.5 million to $4 million at its upcoming Amelia Concours Auction on March 6-7. The Miura SV, chassis number 4976, is an extraordinarily well-preserved example that spent 52 years in single ownership and has covered just over 18,000 miles from new.

Why it matters

The Lamborghini Miura is widely considered the world's first true supercar, and the SV model represents the final evolution of the iconic design. This particular Miura SV is one of only 13 examples delivered to the U.S. market with the desirable split-sump lubrication system and factory air conditioning, making it an exceptionally rare and collectible offering.

The details

Chassis number 4976 was originally delivered in Argento Indianapolis Metallizzato (Silver Metallic) with soft gold metallic lower trim panels and alloy wheels, over a black leather and grey carpet interior. Apart from a late 1970s respray, the car remains in remarkably original and unmodified condition. The original matching-numbers engine has been rebuilt by specialists, and the car retains its original interior, options, gauges, and switches.

  • Chassis number 4976 was completed at the Sant'Agata Lamborghini works during fall/winter 1971/72.
  • The Miura SV joined the collection of Dr. Hector A. Escamilla of San Antonio, Texas on April 21, 1973, where it would remain for the next 52 years.

What they’re saying

“Amongst even the most special examples, this particular Miura SV stands out to me for a few reasons. First off, it is probably one of, if not the best-preserved example around, having spent 52 years, nearly all its life, in a single owner's devoted care. It has also covered just over 18,000 miles from new, and, aside from one respray of the exterior, the car remains original and intact. On top of all this, it is one of the 13 rare and desirable, fully evolved Miura SV examples with split-sump lubrication and factory A/C.”
