Miura, the original supercar

I am not sure if this data was posted before, but here are some interesting infos on ultra rare Miura SV/J. Hope that you will find some of the infos usefull and interesting

P400 Miura SV J Chassis Index


#5090 Completed new in August 1972 to SV/J specification.
Rosso Granada Met. / Red leather.
Delivered new to Paul Ferrandi, Ponte Leccia, Corsica.
Paul Ferrandi was a partner in the Parisian Lamborghini dealer, Voitures Paris Monceau.

#5100 Completed new in August 1972 to SV/J specification.
Luci del Bosco / Mustard leather.
Delivered new to Harry Lansberg, France.
Factory records show original destination as Hubert Hahn but 5100 actually went to Harry Lansberg as compensation for Miura SV chassis 4956 which was destroyed by a factory tester while being serviced at the works. Miura SV/J chassis 5100 was awaiting delivery at the factory and that car (now using the papers of chassis 4956 to avoid paying import tax twice) was given to Lansberg as compensation. It was fitted with the dry-sump system from chassis 4956 and remained the only SV/J completed as such. This car thus has a dual identity (4956 and 5100). Lansberg returned Miura SV/J chassis 5100 to the factory very soon after he had taken delivery as he did not like the SV/J looks and loud straight-through exhaust. The car was thus returned to standard Miura SV look for him. In 1979 chassis 5100 was sold by Lansberg to current French owner, Fabrice Auxietre, who had Parisian coachbuilder LeCoq return the body to SV/J look.

#4860 Completed new in April 1971 to SV specification.
Orange / Black leather.
Delivered new to Dr. Belponer, Italy.
Returned to the factory and converted to SV/J specification, completed April 1973.
The last period SV/J conversion carried out by Lamborghini.
Silver / Black leather.
Delivered to Hubert Hahne, Dusseldorf, Germany.

#4934 Completed new in December 1971 to SV specification.
Blu Ischie Met. / White leather.
Converted to SV/J specification for HIH the Shah of Iran, completed December 1971.
The first period SV/J conversion carried out by Lamborghini.
Rosso Granada Met. / White leather.
Delivered to HIH the Shah of Iran, St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Prior to delivery, the Iranian secret service came to check the car over. As the Shah wanted it delivered to his villa in St Moritz it was fitted with studded snow tyres. The Shah reputedly drove it once in Switzerland and then had it sent to Tehran in an Iranian Air Force cargo plane. After the Iranian revolution 1979, chassis 4934 was seized by government agency, Mustazzafin, along with the Shah's 3000 other cars. Sold at Geneva in March 1997 to actor Nicolas Cage for a world record $493,000.

#4990 Completed April 1972 to SV specification.
Argento Met. / Black leather with Beige cloth centres.
Converted to SV/J specification, completed April 1972.
Rosso Granada Met. / Black leather.

#4088 Unused 1969 S specification chassis.
Converted to SV/J specification by the factory between 1983 and '87.
Orange / Black leather.
Delivered to Jean-Claude Mimram, Switzerland.
Jean-Claude Mimram was the brother of Lamborghini Automobili SpA owner, Patrick Mimram.

NOTE that #4990 was deliverd to owner in Haiti. I wonder what happened with that car and where it is now. But, since we have Joe here, I am sure these infos will be provided by him in next 24h

I thought about it

Re: vid Miura passing by.

That's a Dutch guy.

Re: Red one.

Feck me is that dropdead gorgeous . . .

I love the fact this topic is on F-car pages ;P

 

Unchallengeable statement, Albert. For those who do not believe in Albert's analysis: please see post no. 3168 on page 159 of this wonderful thread.

 

What about Jota #4892?

 

Could this be #4848?

Note the black interior with red cloth inserts.

Thanks Joe, so now there are a few pictures to add to the ILR,
since there are no pics there
Can you do that as well, or is Glen the only one who's in control ?

1,175 million includes all cars in that showroom I suppose ;-)

Hi Raymond, no it wasn't me, but probably my friend Lars,

So that Miura is still a mystery car

Weren't the rivets on the SVJs originally painted over? Those visible metal rivets almost resemble christmas lights.

 

I just wanted to send you some pics how Miuras look and are used in Sweden. This orange "S" was mine some 5 years ago.
