Importantly, this car was fitted with one of the most desirable and expensive options for the Miura, Borletti air conditioning. Priced at $555, it is believed that just 30 cars were fitted with that option, and only 11 single-sump Miura SVs. Chassis no. 4920 was finished in the Miura SV’s most popular color, Rosso Corsa (one of 46 cars finished as such), trimmed in black leather upholstery, and fitted with engine 30655, which it is still fitted with today. It is thought that sometime thereafter the car was fitted with a handful of unique features such as the chrome bumpers, an external fuel filler cap, as well as custom vertical slats in the front clamshell. One of only 49 Miura SVs to remain in its home country, in August of 1971, chassis no. 4920 was invoiced to an unnamed first owner. Six or seven years after being sold new, it was acquired by Claudio Zampolli. No stranger to the brand, Zampolli worked at Lamborghini from 1966 to 1975 alongside Bob Wallace in testing and developing the S and SV models of the Miura. Specifically, Zampolli worked with the Miura’s chassis designer, Gian Paolo Dallara, on revising the rear suspension for the SV and was also responsible for overseeing production and road testing of the Miura SV prior to delivery. Zampolli decided to keep the Miura SV at his home in Southern California, registering it with California vanity plates “SV BULL.” Starting out on his own in the 1980s, Zampolli established Cizeta Automobili, a company based in Modena that sought to produce a boutique supercar. At some point, Zampolli sent his Miura back to Italy where it was restored in the Cizeta factory, before being returned to its adopted home of California. There it remained and in 1995, it was purchased by Louis Puccio of Anaheim. In Puccio’s ownership, the Miura was exhibited at a number of concours events, including The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, in 2006. At subsequent concours awards include 1st in class at both the 2006 Palos Verdes Concours d’Elegance and the 2009 Los Angeles Concours d’Elegance, as well as a 3rd in class at the Palos Verdes Concours in 2009. The car was sold by him in 2005 to Dr. Alex Albarian of Glendale, California. At this point, Dr. Albarian commissioned his own restoration of the Miura, removing the car’s external fuel filler and special slats, replacing them with standard and factory-correct components. However, these features were kept and are offered with the car should its new owner decide to refit them to the Miura. With Albarian, the car was Best in Class once more, at Palos Verdes. Purchased by its current owners shortly after the completion of the restoration, the car has remained well kept and preserved in their collection of sports and racing cars, accumulating only a handful of miles in their ownership. With a unique story and interesting place in the hierarchy of the Miura itself, chassis no. 4920 presents a myriad of interesting opportunities for its next owner as either a show-ready example or a perfectly presented weekend driver.»

Stand zum Verkauf (November 2021) bei Curated, angeboten mit folgendem Text: «For many years, this Miura SV (#4920) was believed to have been one of two cars that left the factory with chrome bumpers. After historical photos and factory documents were discovered, it was revealed that this unique Miura SV was also fitted with an SVJ style external fuel filler and unique vents replacing the standard front grilles prior to leaving the Lamborghini factory in August of 1971 to a VIP customer in Italy who entered the car in the Concorso Internazionale di Eleganza per Autovetture in July of 1971. The car was imported to the U.S. in the late 1970s and was restored by former Lamborghini engineer Claudio Zampolli. In 2006, Miura SV #4920 won Best in Class at the Palos Verdes Concours D’Elegance.»

Und dann (November 2024) bei Schaltkulisse, mit diesen Informationen: «This car, chassis 4920 was delivered new to Germany in May 1972. In the early years of the car’s life, between 1972 and 1977, the car underwent a cosmetic conversion to Jota specification to resemble the one-off 1970 Miura ‘Jota’ or ‘SV-J’ which was built as a testbed to enter FIA Appendix J regulations. A handful of cars were subsequently built for private buyers and some further examples were converted postproduction at owner’s requests. These Jota cars had fixed headlights with Perspex covers, modified air intakes through the front clam and an exterior filler cap. The rear exhaust was also different with centralised outlets. In this period, it was not very unusual for owners to modify their Miura’s to resemble these rarified variants, even if it might be unthinkable to do so today. In 1978 the car was sold to a third owner who kept it up until 1997. By this time the car had only 30,000 km on the odometer when the next custodian decided to fully restore 4920 in dark green with gold wheels. During this period the car was a regular feature at numerous shows and exhibitions. In 2015 it was decided to finally return the car to its original specification. Carrosseria Battaglia-Bolognesi of Ferrara were tasked with stripping the body to bare metal and removing the Jota style elements, including again fitting the front clam with retractable headlights. The car was repainted in its original Rosso Corsa. The interior was retrimmed in Dark Blue by Auto Interni. Top Motors Salvioli, one of the leading specialists in everything Miura, were responsible for the mechanical requirements and the installation of a factory specification exhaust system. After driving the Miura for the better part of 50km, we are able to confirm that the car started at the turn of the key, and that the full power of 385 horsepower was very present and healthy. The gear changes were smooth during up- and downshifting. A fantastic car to drive and an absolute pleasure to move quickly. Recently, the Miura SV has been awarded a Polo Storico Certification, which confirms that the car is matching numbers and colors.» Preis auf Anfrage.
