While there, it was photographed during an event at the showroom, as depicted in Simon Kidston’s Miura register. Chassis 3459’s first owner, a 29-year-old Italian, retained it for four years before it was passed to two subsequent Italian owners. In 1975, exotic car dealer and collector Joe Nastasi bought and exported the car, selling it to a New Yorker who would keep it for over 40 years. The car’s current owner purchased it in 2018, at which time it was an unrestored example retaining its original numbered body panels and mechanical components. This made it an ideal restoration candidate. The current owner, a serial Miura owner who has had several exceptional examples, commissioned a show-quality restoration by Cairati Milan/Monterey. In addition to previously restoring another Miura for the consignor, Cairati also participated in the restoration of Gian Paolo Dallara’s personal P400 and the one-off SVR. Cairati maintains relationships with both the Lamborghini factory and the original suppliers who built Miura components new, including Marchesi & C., builders of the Miura chassis in period. The restoration of 3459 began at Marchesi & C., where the chassis was inspected and repaired using the original Miura frame jigs and tools. The monocoque was treated to prevent corrosion, while the bodywork was restored and mocked up to ensure proper fit and then painted in the rare original Miura shade of *Azzurro Cielo *(Sky Blue). The interior was restored with consummate attention to detail using Cairati’s proprietary materials, designed specifically to reproduce the original factory characteristics, including color, weight, texture, and sheen. In parallel, the mechanical components were overhauled using original “new old stock” parts. The engine was rebuilt using Mahle Motorsport pistons, balanced, blueprinted, and extensively broken-in and tested on a dynamometer prior to installation. The remainder of the driveline was also rebuilt, and a new wiring harness fabricated. The suspension and brakes were also correctly restored, including the distinctive blue and green painted coil springs and metallic orange painted Armstrong telescoping dampers. Once complete, the car received extensive road testing and post-restoration sorting and the result is truly exceptional, not only in terms of cosmetic presentation, but also in correctness and performance. The car is accompanied by copies of factory build sheets and Automobile Club d’Italia documents corroborating its early life in Italy, books, tools, and extensive invoices and photographs from its restoration».
