Price on request

Chassis No. 4809 Engine No. 30600 Body No. 697 Introduced as a nuanced evolution of the original Miura, the P400 S brought a suite of refinements to the supercar following its 1969 debut. Visually distinguished by bright metal trim replacing the earlier matte black windshield and headlight surrounds, the S offered a bump in power from 350 PS to 370 PS as well as a more civilized cabin featuring standard power windows, revised overhead switchgear, and an updated passenger grab handle. The model continued to mature during its production run, introducing optional and infrequently specified air conditioning and, by April 1970, optional vented disc brakes. Completed on 9 February 1971, this well-documented Miura P400 S is one of just 338 examples produced. It left Sant’Agata finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero leather, boasting the highly desirable and rare combination of late-series vented disc brakes and factory air conditioning. Dispatched to Spanish dealer Vela Murillo, the car was registered in Tenerife on 26 February to businessman Santiago Puig, where it began a glamorous early life in the Canary Islands. Early in its life, its original Rosso Corsa finish faded significantly under the intense sun of the Canaries, prompting Puig to refinish the Miura in a lighter yellow more suitable for the climate. Understood to be the first Miura in Spain, chassis 4809 was registered “TF 69175” and is well-documented in period images; photographs on file show Mr. Puig at the wheel, and the car notably appeared in a 1972 advertisement for a southern Tenerife tourist complex “Playa de las Américas.” The car then passed to fellow Spaniard Manuel Jacinto Borges Belza, remaining in Spain until 1980 when it was exported to Switzerland, showing approximately 25,000 km at the time. Purchased in 1988 by its second Swiss caretaker, the Lamborghini was retired from the road in 1993 and remained in storage for over a decade. A comprehensive restoration undertaken between 2006 and 2011 is thoroughly documented with photographs and invoices. The mechanical work, undertaken by Graber Sportgarage AG, included a full rebuild of the original drivetrain (serial number 30600) along with a conversion to SV-type split-sump lubrication—a desirable upgrade found only on the final 96 Miura SVs produced. This modification allows for the use of different types of oil for the engine and transaxle, alleviating oil starvation under hard cornering while significantly improving reliability. A lengthy invoice details the full scope of the mechanical restoration, including rebuilding the suspension, brakes, electrics, instruments, and complete reassembly, exceeding CHF 235’000 (including VAT). Cosmetically, the owner elected to renew the bodywork in its distinctive Giallo Miura shade, as the car had worn this color for the vast majority of its life, while the cabin was expertly trimmed in as-delivered Nero leather. More recently, the Miura returned to Graber Sportgarage in September 2025 where it was treated to further maintenance amounting to over CHF 20’000. The Miura is now offered as a beautifully restored and mechanically sorted example showing 38,500 km—believed to be original—at the time of cataloging, with just over 2,000 km traveled since its restoration. With its stunning presentation, matching-numbers status, and thoughtful split-sump conversion for enhanced usability, chassis 4809 is a superlative example of Lamborghini's most iconic creation. The car is accompanied by a detailed history file encompassing five binders of invoices and restoration images, along with the car’s original maintenance book and 1970 dealer directory.
