This Lamborghini Miura SV, one of 150 Miura P400 SVs built by the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, was ordered by Captain Arthur Mechini, a former RAF pilot, in South Africa. At his request, his new Miura SV was built suing a previous chassis number from a 1968 Miura S that had been destroyed years earlier. This was an unusual practice at the time in order to keep the cost of import/export duty to a minimum. In November 1972, the new Miura SV was finally completed and was delivered to its delighted (and slightly better off than he might have been) new owner.
This SV was one of the last Miuras to be produced by the factory, and after spending nearly 30 years in South Africa, it was sold at auction in Palm Beach in 2001. Since then it has been completely restored for its new owner.
