The Lamborghini Miura is the 161st of its type to leave the Sant'Agata factory. It wore a color combination of Bianco over Nero faux leather and cloth, had left-hand-drive configuration, and was delivered to Milanese concessionaire Autoelite on March 28th of 1968. The history from that point forward is not fully known; by September 1994, it wore a red color scheme and was road-registered in the United Kingdom wearing temporary 'Q' registration plates. It resided in the U.K. for three years before being sold at auction in Beaulieu in 1997, where it was purchased by a Monaco-based individual, who immediately commissioned restoration work in his native Italy. B. Roadster of Voghera was entrusted with the bodywork while the mechanical components were handled by Touring Auto in Milan. At some point, perhaps during the restoration, the car received a replacement engine.
After the restoration was complete, it was registered for road use in Monaco in September 2002, shortly before being sold in the Principality at an auction in May of the following year. It resided briefly in France before it was sold to the United States. The car was transferred from Michel Pignard Automobiles in Ecully, France to a US-based collector via Autosport Designs, Inc. in New York. The car was flown from London Heathrow to New York's JFK airport on December 9th of 2004. Between October 2006 and June 2007, the car was given a bare-metal repaint.
While in this owner's care, the car was shown at the 2007 Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance in a yellow paint scheme where it placed 1st in the Closed Sports Car class. After four years of ownership, the car was sold back to Autosport Designs, Inc., which in turn sold the car to its next owner in New York one month later. The next keeper commissioned more than $20,000 of repairs and fettling by the dealer between 2008 and November 2009, after which the Lamborghini was sold on consignment to a New York-based car dealer.
After nearly a decade, the car returned to the United Kingdom where it was road-registered by its current owner and issued a period registration in December 2013. The Miura has been sparingly used since that time with fewer than 100 miles covered since the Lamborghini was imported.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2022

The Miura made its debut at the Geneva Auto Show in 1966, and left the public speechless. The body was designed by Bertone under the direction of Marcello Gandini. Lamborghini engineers were able to squeeze an in-house V-12 laterally across the frame, thus creating a true mid-engine sports car capable of over 175 mph. This cara was featured in the September 2007 issue of Automobile Magazine as one of the 25 Greatest Cars of All Time.
