It has 32,014 miles on the clock, it is right-hand drive and in a desirable specification, and soon this 1972 Lamborghini Miura SV will be seeking a new home.
And the winning bidder will be very lucky indeed, because while we think it’s safe to say there’s no Miura we wouldn’t want, this particular car ticks a lot of boxes.
It will be sold at Silverstone Auctions’ Silverstone Classic Live Online Auction, being held between 31 July and 2 August, where it is estimated it will achieve £1.8-2.4m.
A mere nine RHD Miura SVs were ordered new and this is one of a rare pair that added two more to that tally.
That’s thanks to the Australian Lamborghini importer who wanted two RHD Miuras as soon as possible, so the factory switched a pair from left-hand drive prior to shipping.
So, here are the numbers: 762 Miuras were built, of which 147 were this final SV spec and of these, 94 have the sought-after split-sump engine found in this car. And it’s one of 11 RHD factory SVs. Phew!
This car, chassis 5036, was finished on 31 March 1972 to European spec, with a Rosso Corsa paintjob, air conditioning, the radio pack and a limited-slip differential.
