The original supercar that changed automotive history forever. Marcello Gandini's revolutionary design for Bertone placed a transverse V12 behind the cabin, creating the mid-engine supercar template still used today. The P400's 350 horsepower and 170+ mph top speed made it the world's fastest production car. Its show-stopping beauty remains automotive design's pinnacle achievement.
Early Lamborghini V12s require expert maintenance - timing chain tensioners, carburetor synchronization critical. Touring Superleggera bodies prone to corrosion around framework. Miura cooling systems marginal in traffic. Miura rear suspension geometry causes instability at high speed on early cars. Parts availability challenging - international specialist network essential. Engine-out service common for clutch replacement. Period correct restorations extremely expensive.
Air conditioning (rare on early cars), leather interior, Campagnolo magnesium wheels, tool kit, factory hardcase luggage, matching numbers engine/chassis, known history, Registro Lamborghini certification, period accessories, original books/manuals.
