Owners of the Lamborghini Miura SV included Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Elton John, the Shah of Iran, and Rob Stewart. This example was completed by the factory on July 23, 1971. It was built during the first year of Miura SV production as a European-specification example, wearing production number 650, and was given a single-sump V-12 engine which offered 385 horsepower. Its original color was Rosso Corsa, fitted with a Nero interior, and then delivered new to S.E.A., Lamborghini's official distributor in Rome. It is believed it spent at least 10 years in Europe before it was shipped to the United States, where it was owned by Wayne Nelson in the 1980s, presumably having been imported by Joe Nastasi, a U.S.-based Lamborghini distributor. Dr. Bill Rozzi acquired the car in 1994 with 21,000 kilometers on the car's odometer. In 1997, it was purchased by Bill Rice, of Westlake Village, California. The car was then entrusted to Lamborghini specialist Jeff Stephan for a concours-quality, no-expense-spared restoration. The work began in early 1998. It was refinished in its original shade of Rosso Corsa and fitted with gold Campagnolo wheels, which had matching gold rocker panels. The interior was given a biscuit leather with matching carpets. After the cars restoration, it was premiered at the 2001 Lamborghini Club West National Meet in Monterey at Concorso Italiano and took home Best of Show honors out of a field of 25 other Miuras. Over the years that followed, it acquired many similar accolades at concours events, taking First in the Miura class at Concourso Italiano in 2007, Best of Show at the Thousand Oaks Car Classic, and Best in Class at the 2010 Avila Beach Concours d'Elegance.
