Vehicle Description
1968 Lamborghini Miura S For Sale - Only 7,800km, Concours
Restoration, Incredible Documentation LMC is very proud to offer
for sale this 1968 Lamborghini Miura S Since its arrival in 1966,
the Lamborghini Miura has been an icon of automotive design, being
regarded as one of the most beautiful cars ever built and the first
ever Supercar. The beautifully sculpted body was penned by the
young Marcello Gandini, the newly appointed head designer at
Bertone. The powertrain was a mid-mounted 3.9-litre V12 that
provided the car with excellent weight distribution, superb
handling and world class performance. The 1968 P400 S was an
improved iteration on the original P400 with small changes that
made the car faster and more luxurious This stunning Miura S
offered here for sale has remained in highly original condition
with only 7,800km on the odometer, having had barely a handful of
owners. Originally sold new by Italian dealer Eugenio Ferranti of
Foligno, Perugia and according to factory and Bertone records it
was delivered in a vibrant Rosso Corsa with Skay Nero interior and
blue cloth seat inserts - the configuration in which it is
presented today. As per the original bill of sale which was stamped
and notarized as was Italian practice for decades, shows that
Ferranti sold the new car to Mrs Maria Germagnoli of Piacenza for
the considerable sum of Lire 6,920,368. A second, notarised bill of
sale documents ownership passing from Mrs Germagnoli to Giulio
Vignale, nephew of coachbuilder Alfredo Vignale, resident in Turin,
for Lire 5,000,000. To all intents and purposes, Vignale bought a
brand-new Miura S and It remained in his ownership, unregistered,
undriven and unseen. Mr Vignale sold the car in summer 2008,
confirmed by copies of documents accompanying the car that reveal
on 8 July 2008, Giulio Vignale of via Campobasso, 26, Turin, gave a
sale mandate for the car to a veteran Italian dealer. The Miura
would then be sold in 2014 with the help of a Swiss dealer to a
very distinguished car collector. The new owner decided to restore
this Miura S back to its original glory, entrusting some of the
world's best marque experts. Italian restorer Top Motors looked
after all mechanical areas while all body and paintwork were
entrusted to Carrozzeria Cremonini. During the restoration, it soon
became apparent that although nearly five decades had passed since
it was first delivered to Eugenio Ferranti, this Miura S still
showed a wealth of original detail. The skilled technicians were
surprised at the almost 'time- warp' condition of the car and have
done everything possible to keep these details intact. As a
testament to this example's incredible provenance, this Miura S is
by far the most documented example we have come across and comes
accompanied by the following: Certificato di Origine. Dated
21-11-68. The 1968 document that certifies the authenticity of
chassis 3832. Certificato di assistenza in garanzia, with Tagliando
A, B and C. The factory guarantee form and three white dockets for
3,000km 8,000km and 15,000km service intervals. These are
perforated for tear-off by the service agent, but amazingly are
still intact. Certificato di Approvazione. Dated 29-11-68.
Certificate of roadworthiness. Declarations of sale. Two typed and
notarised letters confirming the sale of the car first from
Lamborghini dealership Ferranti (Foligno, Perugia) to Maria
Germagnoli (Piacenza), then from Mrs Germagnoli to Giulio Vignale
(Turin). Original yellow-cover owner's manual for the Miura P400 S.
Original emergency door window and headlight winders. This
wonderful Miura S represents an unique opportunity to buy a
reference standard Miura S fresh from a concours level restoration
and accompanied by a wealth of rare period documentation, one of
the best Miura's we have ever come across! Additional Details: 1968
