Auktion: RM Sotheby’s, Monaco 2014, verkauft für 448’000 Euro, angeboten mit folgendem Text: «This 1969 Lamborghini Miura S was completed on 23 October 1969 as production number 423, and it left the factory finished in red. Following production, the car was shipped to Mizwa Motors, the authorised Lamborghini dealership in Japan, and it was sold to its first owner, who was located in Yokohama. From there, the car remained in Japan, passing through three subsequent owners in the cities of Kobe, Chiba, and Fukuoka over the course of the next 30 years. In the 1980s, the original S-specification engine was removed and the Miura was fitted with a genuine Miura SV engine, bearing number 30633, which was the first SV engine produced. The current owner purchased the car in 1998 from the previous owner in Fukuoka, Japan, who had owned it for 10 years. The conversion to Jota specification was completed in early 2013 by two separate Italian car specialists located in Japan. Whilst the car was being converted to Jota specifications, all components were fully restored, ensuring that the Miura will function as it would when new in every respect. Had the original Jota not met its end in 1972, there is no doubt that it would be one of the most desirable automobiles in the world, as it took the most radical automobile the world had ever seen and raised the bar of performance one step higher. The Jota, in its pursuit of greater performance, combined the best aspects of the original Miura design with more aggressive cosmetic and mechanical enhancements, to make the most intense Miura that ever left Sant’Agata. This converted Jota-specification Miura provides an excellent chance for a lucky enthusiast to relive the experience that the original Jota provided—an experience that is no longer available in its original form. For the enthusiast looking to have a Miura that stands out from the rest, look no further.»; Ashtree Collection, Shrewsbury 2020, Schätzpreis 1’100’000 Pfund, wahrscheinlich nicht verkauft

Dann: RM Sotheby’s, Paris 2023, verkauft für 1’017’500 Euro, angeboten mit folgendem Text: «Chassis 4280 left Sant’Agata on 23 October 1969 finished in ‘S’ specification, wearing Rosso Corsa paintwork over a Nero leather interior, and fitted with air conditioning. The car was delivered to first owner, cherry magnate Stefano Fabbri, via Italcar before being imported to Japan and sold through Mizwa Motors. It stayed in Japan for the next three decades, passing through the hands of owners in Kobe, Chiba, and Fukuoka before the search for greater performance led to the original S-specification engine being replaced with an SV engine, stamped 30633. Sold in 1998 yet remaining in Japan, the Miura was further improved with conversion to “Jota” specification, with extensive bodywork modifications made between 2006 and 2013; invoices on file amount to more than ¥61 million (approx. €430,000). The colour was changed to the striking Arancio Miura shade that it wears today. The car was sold at auction in 2014, spending time in Sweden before returning to the UK and entering the consigning owner’s private collection».

Nun, viel Spass scheint der aktuelle Besitzer nicht gehabt zu haben an seiner Errungenschaft, denn #4280 ist schon wieder auf dem Markt, diesmal bei sbxcars.com. Da schauen wir dann doch gerne auf den Preis.

Alle, wirklich alle Miura haben wir hier.
