Equipment
3929/385hp, four Weber 40IDL-3L carburetors, manual 5-speed. Speciale with unique equipment from the factory, including ZF limited-slip differential and dry-sump lubrication. Power windows, original tool kit and manuals.
Condition
Restoration in the last few years by Carrozzeria Autosport and Top Motors in its original colors. Immaculate fresh paint with no chips. The silver sills have a tiny bit of overspray showing, and there is overspray around the door edges on both sides as well. Freshly painted wheels with the caps slightly marked on the corners. The passenger''s side rear wheel edge has two chips. Two large balance weights are also stuck on the outer rim, spoiling the look a bit. The Pirelli tires are from 2014. One small area flaking on the rear window slats. The taillight trims are not fresh and show age. All exterior chrome and trim appears to be original but in great condition. Seat coverings are superb condition and quality leather but not new. Interior air vent black paint is flaking and chipped. While not immaculate, its special order features and SV equipment more than make up for small cosmetic flaws.
Market commentary
The P400 SV is both the most powerful and the most valuable regular production Miura, so this car was always going to command a lot of attention and a hefty price. Its special-order equipment makes it that much more desirable, but the final number is nevertheless a big surprise to anybody watching. It smashed its £2M high estimate, and it smashed the previous world record price for a Miura - €2,388,400 ($2.54M) for another SV back in 2017.
