    Thanks for posting 5102. I love period liveries of all kinds and 'Luci Del Bosco' is certainly an interesting one.

    But the shape of an SV.... Oh the shape. And what it does to grown men. See the last frame...

    500k $ seems like a good deal for a Miura SV, could the color have an influence?

    It would be a steal today to buy for $500k. Look at the corner of the window from the ad ;). That has not been updated in 3 years!

    Joe,

    How do you justify the SV being three times the cost of a regular Miura? They seem to look very similar if not the same.

    Gus:

    By the time the SV arrived in 1971, it was $27,000 out the door of the USA concessionaire, 3 times the $9,000 price of the P400 was in 1967. That ratio has simply stuck all these years.

    As Bob Wallace has said many times: "The SV is a completely different car". Driving one back-to-back with a P400 (as I have on several different occasions) is the only way to appreciate the engineering that went into chassis, suspension, wheels, engine & trans that make the SV so much more a complete sport car.

    There are dozens of other upgrades and as Claudio Zampolli (who supervised the building of SVs in 1971 - 1973) will tell you, every aspect of the Miura was improved for the ultimate version. We all know how collectors strive to have the best example although the P400 and P400S are fine machines too, but I am surprised SVs are not worth even more by comparison. Note that 911 2.7 RS re worth 5 or 6 times a 911 S for example...

    Remember too that the SV is perhaps 3 times as rare as a P400.

    Anyway, I like to walk my talk so youll note I personally have only ever owned SVs - 6 of them over the past 20 years...

    Joe,
    you can`t compare the 911 2.7 RS with a Miura SV. The 2.7 has many roots in competition history - no Miura ever had that (despite some funny attempts!). I bought a RS new in 1975 and had at that time the SV. So I had the privilage to compare both cars and I can tell you that the RS is much, much more agile and a real drivers car while the SV is a fantastic style-exercise (at first)and so a milestone in automotive design and then a noisy car with a rather cramped interior. Every RS drives any Miura into the dust when it comes on fast turns up and down the Alps! You can do so many things with the RS (when you are a good driver!) - reasons enough for the price level of that perhaps best car ever left the factory in Zuffenhausen, Germany.

    Ciao!
    Walter

    Walter, I was only saying some variants within the same marque are worth much much more than others. Eg: Ferrari 250 GT and Ferrari 250 GTO.

    Not comparing RS to SV...
