In the history of Lamborghini, Some cars are rare. Others are unique. And then there's chassis no. 5066. This 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV is quite simply the only example in the world to have been originally delivered in this Tahiti Blue configuration with gold accents and white leather interior. A combination validated by the factory archives, which immediately places it in a class of its own, even among the very exclusive Miura SVs.
Produced between 1971 and 1973 in only 150 examples, the SV represents the ultimate evolution of the Miura, often considered the first supercar in history. But even in this closed circle, some configurations stand out from the crowd. This is probably one of the most spectacular ever produced.
A rich history... before becoming a museum piece
Contrary to what its current mileage might suggest, this Miura wasn't always a garage queen. Delivered new in Italy via the Righetti dealership in Vicenza, it was acquired by Domenico Schiavo, who kept it for almost 38 years. During this long period, the car was regularly used, covering some 80,000 kilometers. It represented much more than just an automobile: it was a personal, almost intimate tribute.
It wasn't until the 2010s that its destiny changed to that of an exceptional collector's item. Entering a private European collection, it underwent a complete restoration between 2011 and 2013, carried out by Cremonini Carrozzeria in Modena, one of the most renowned Miura specialists.
Since then, its status has changed. Used extremely sparingly by its successive owners, it now boasts just 1,516 km on the odometer after restoration, which explains its absolutely remarkable condition.
Flawless configuration and authenticity
Beyond its unique color, this Miura SV ticks all the boxes sought by the most demanding collectors. It retains its original engine, a 3.9-liter V12 developing around 380 hp, fed by four Weber carburetors and mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. An emblematic engine of Lamborghini's golden age, capable of delivering impressive performance for its time.
This late version also features important technical evolutions, such as dry sump lubrication, but also rare equipment such as Borletti air conditioning, a particularly expensive option at the time and present on only a handful of examples.
Every detail seems to have been preserved with obsessive care: from the original clamps to the Pirelli Cinturato tires. Even the original Italian license plates have been preserved.
Value already confirmed... but with even greater potential
The Miura SV market is already at very high levels. Several examples have recently exceeded $4.4 million, even with much higher mileage. But this car could go even further. Why? Because it has it all: a unique configuration, a documented history, a high-level restoration and near-new condition. All elements that place it in an even more exclusive category than the other SVs.
Although it has spent much of its life in Europe, this Miura will be offered at the Mecum Indy 2026 sale, organized by Mecum Auctions, on May 16, 2026. And perhaps the most fascinating detail of all: it will be sold without a reserve price.
A rare choice for a model of this importance, which guarantees a sale whatever the final amount. In this kind of situation, two scenarios are possible: either an unexpected opportunity for a daring collector... or a spectacular surge in bidding, driven by the car's absolute rarity.
When faced with such a piece, the question remains: should you look at it... or drive it? For this Miura SV perfectly embodies the paradox of the most extreme collector cars. On the one hand, a rolling work of art, frozen in near-perfect condition. On the other, a Lamborghini V12 born to be driven, to thrill, and to remind us what the automobile was all about at a time when anything still seemed possible.
On May 16, one thing is certain: this Miura Bleu Tahiti will leave no one indifferent.
