This is the third Miura I've seen like that. There is a green and another orange one similarly modified. Are the skirts painted body colour also? My guess is it's an "S".

 

EFA

 

Nevermind...Found a set on eBay.

 

I was reading this thread with the TV on in the background and I glanced up to see a Miura in a TV ad. Honestly, I thought I was imagining it. But then I tracked it down.

Did anyone get the chance to take a look at this P400 before auction?

 

Yes; it was a nice candidate for restoration.

 

Hi all,

I was surprised to see the same reg. plate on both Miura #3982 (white) and #4289 (orange)? Is it a Dealer plate ? Can someone explain ?
Thank-you
Bruno

Maybe a new Color to the same car ?

 

No, it's 2 differents P400S Miura.

And, Miura #4289 has just been sold a few days ago at MECUM Auction for $2.3M USD, especially for its original condition (not repainted...)...

2.300.000 USD for a Miura P400. I can't imagine how much a well preserved Miura SV example will cost now!

 

If it's the same car then they've moved the badges, and bb4635 stated different chassis numbers.

2.5mm all in for the S, correct ?

 

Thank-you for all your comments about the high (anormal) price of recently auctionned #4289, but my initial question was about the same Californian registration plate number found on two different cars (and no, the white #3982 has not been repainted in orange...) ?

 

This will make a less difference in the future, it will come down to wich version the individual buyer prefers.

 

Just an info : I'll offer for sale soon a part of my remaining vintage Lambo parts on the FerrariAds section.
For the one potentially interested - just have a look...

 

This was my girlfriend's car which she sold, and since obviously ended up at auction... I told her not to sell, but of course, she did as she wished.

The car was a true barn find (literally!), which we took to Evans Auto where we did a mechanical restore paying particular attention to originality and authenticity.

Like everyone else, I was shocked at the auction result. Feels good that others truly care about cars that represent the original condition well.

Still surprised that the SV did not do better, it was a 20 year old full restoration, but still a very nice car!


Is this the first time an S has sold for more than an SV within the same year? What is the world record for highest Miura sale price? One of the Jota's?
