Lamborghini Miura S
French title Engine No.: 30450 - Barely 17,980km from new - One of the first mid-engined GT cars - The fastest car in the world in his time! - No reserve We will not return to the wrath of Ferruccio Lamborghini when he was ticked off by Enzo Ferrari a propos the problems of his car. Badly received by his Maranello neighbor and much piqued, Lamborghini decided to create his own brand in 1963, whose emblem was the charging bull: the Prancing Horse had better keep a safe distance ... The 350 GT was a good first project but it was the arrival of the Miura in 1966 that cast a big boulder into the pond. The car featured a superb line sleek and the graceful design, whilst affirming a character worthy of a racing machine, and was signed by a young Marcello Gandini, newly recruited head of Bertone design. The car also surprised by its architecture: indeed, around the central cell, an articulated front and rear clamshell covers covered the mechanicals just like that of a racing car. In addition, that remarkable 3.9 liter V12, positioned centrally at the rear, allowing for an excellent distribution of the masses. The engine, which developed 350bhp, coupled with the weight of less than one tone, allowed for incredible acceleration and a top speed of 280 km/h, which made it the fastest production car in the world at the time of its launch. In 1968, Lamborghini presented the new Miura S. An evolution of the previous one, the differences are much more than one can imagine. Equipment level improved comfort, as well as size and weight, with a slight increase. But above all, performance went up: with 370bhp, the Miura became quicker, with 0 to 100 km/h now in 5 seconds, never before achieved in a street car before! This Lamborghini Miura is one of the first "S" built. In blue "Azzuro Mexico" with beige leatherette upholstery in velvet and camel, the car was delivered to the dealer SOCARIA on January 9, 1970. Between 1970 the car was owned by Pierre Brignole, and this beautiful Italian was repainted in white, which gives the car a unique look. Its counter shows a little more 17,980km and we have every reason to believe that this is the genuine mileage of origin as state of the car is indeed splendid. In addition, when the current owner bought it in 1990 it was described as follows in the catalogue by the expert: "This vehicle is in exceptional condition of conservation, its history is known with two owners, painting was redone a few years ago. The mileage of 13,500km is real." We are in the presence of a rare original piece, with the exception of its paint, a car with great potential whose price continues to rise. It is offered without reserve - so no reason to hesitate at all!
