Few cars in the world capture the spirit of the early supercar era quite like the legendary Lamborghini Miura SV. Widely regarded as the ultimate evolution of the Miura lineage from Automobili Lamborghini, the SV, or Spinto Veloce, represents the final and most refined chapter of one of the most important performance cars ever built, and let’s not forget the original Lamborghini Miura was introduced on March 10th, 1966 at the Geneva Motor Show exactly sixty years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This particular example stands out as an exceptionally preserved survivor. Showing fewer than 18,300 miles from new, the car remains largely original, unmodified, and unrestored, a rarity among vintage Italian exotics. Even more impressively, it retains its factory-installed matching-numbers V12 engine, along with its original numbered chassis and bodywork, maintaining the authenticity collectors prize above all else.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For more than 50 years, the Miura remained in the care of a private Texas enthusiast, a remarkable period of long-term ownership that has helped preserve its originality. The car also features one of the most desirable configurations produced: it is one of just 13 U.S.-market “split-sump”<\/em> Miura SVs equipped with factory air conditioning, a rare specification that further enhances its collectibility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside, the car is equally impressive. Its factory-installed interior remains intact, offering a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship and design language of Lamborghini\u2019s early 1970s golden era.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While the car\u2019s originality remains intact, the matching-numbers V12 has been professionally rebuilt by renowned Miura specialists at Motion Products Inc., ensuring the mechanical performance lives up to the Miura\u2019s legendary reputation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As the most advanced and developed version of the Miura, the SV occupies a special place in Lamborghini history. For many collectors and enthusiasts, it represents not just the pinnacle of the Miura range, but arguably the most collectible Lamborghini ever built, hence why it didn’t come as a surprise when this car passed the auction block at The Amelia Auction 2026 by Broad Arrow<\/a>, it reached a staggering record price of $6,605,000!<\/p>\n
