Comments: |
The Lamborghini P 400 SV has been originally delivered to the US being |
| obviously the very first production SV coming into the country. From the | |
| very first day it carried its red colour with a contrasting black interior. Needless to | |
| say that it still has its original factory installed engine which certainly has been | |
| correctly stamped with its matching engine number. |
| According to the Lamborghini factory paperwork it was sold new through Joe | |
| Marchetti, Chicago, Illinois to its first owner Eddie Weschler of Nashotah, | |
| Wisconsin. Ed was known as one of the early and fanatic Italian sports car | |
| enthusiasts in the sixties, seventies and eighties. Beside his love for | |
| Lamborghini he was as well known for his passion for Ferrari owning the main |
| icons of | Maranello like the Ferrari 250 Tour De France or Ferrari 250 GT SWB and |
| lots of different early cars for the road and track. |
| Ed kept his SV for nearly 20 years and it is told that he sold it with an extremely | |
| low and original mileage of only 12 000 mls in the beginning of the nineties. | |
| It was sold to Europe in 1992 finding its new home for another five years | |
| with a German collector near to Frankfurt/Germany. It came into the next and | |
| last owners garage with near to 13 500 mls on the speedo. | |
| Today the odometer shows an original mileage of only 16 990 mls. We had | |
| the pleasure to inspect the car carefully. And by this we are more than convinced | |
| that this is the overall genuine mileage. |
| We are able to supply dozens of detailed pics confirming its original condition | |
| to any concerned enthusiast who might be interested. |
| This is one of the lowest mileage Lamborghini Miura P 400 SV on the planet in a | |
| wonderful preserved original condition. |
| It will be more than difficult to locate a better example in the market today. |
| The Miura was the new rival for Ferrari in the sportscar market in the late sixties | |
| and early seventies. The Chief engineer Gian Paolo Dallara had developed the | |
| first mid engine sportscar for the road showing a new technique and a dramatic | |
| design which forced Enzo Ferrari to react years later with the Ferrari 365 GT/4 BB. |
| The Lamborghini P 400 Miura SV is not only "the Lamborghini" it represents | |
| as well "the main icon" of the sportscar world. | |
