We are proud to offer this Lamborghini Miura P 400 Series II which has been |
| produced in the Lamborghini factory in mid 1970 and registered to its first | |
| Swiss owner on the 18th of May 1971. It was ordered by its first owner Carmine | |
| Mariangelo living in Lausanne in the more elegant colour scheme of argento with | |
| black seats with textile inserts. |
| The second owner Roger Poinsot living nearby in Geneva fall in love with the | |
| Miura P 400 S only five years later when he registered the car on the 17th of | |
| May 1976. |
| It changed hands for the last time before we have been able to purchase this | |
| Lamborghini icon on the 6th of March 1981 again to a Swiss citizen living in the | |
| north east part of the country. The last owner had it for no less than 34 years | |
| and decided to sell it last year. The car was part of a major classic car collection. | |
| It has been serviced nearly each year at the Swiiss based Lamborghini | |
| dealerships. The mileage today shows 66 895 km which is documented by its | |
| large history file full of Lamborghini service records going back to the late | |
| seventies. |
| It might be more than difficult to find a true three owner from new Lamborghini | |
| Miura P 400 S which has been always perfectly maintained. |
| The history of its development shows different stages which ended up with the | |
| last edition known as the Miura SV. The latest edition of the Miura S called | |
| Series II started with the production number 501 and showing some | |
| very important technical improvements compared to the first Miura P 400 and as | |
| well to the normal Miura S. The latest edition received already the much stiffer | |
| frame, the inner vented disc brakes and an improved new setting for the | |
| camshaft timing. This revised cam timing came to mean that the P 400 S is | |
| considered to be the fastest of all Miuras at top speed. |
| 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 the new technique and a | |
| dramatic design which forced Enzo Ferrari to react years later with the | |
| Ferrari 365 GT/4 BB. |
| The Miura will always be "the" main icon in the sportscar world. |
