1971 LAMBORGHINI MIURA SV FLY YELLOW COLOR

Factory records indicate that chassis 4882 was finished on November 29, 1971, as production number 627. The original paint color was Fly Yellow with a black leather interior. The car was originally delivered to Lamborghini dealer Carpanelli in Rome, who reportedly sold it new to a gentleman in Switzerland.

This 1971 Lamborghini Miura SV sold for $869,000 at the Gooding auction on August 18, 2007, during the Pebble Beach weekend.

"The first car in a series is good. But the last car is best." I'm actually quoting from RM's Maranello catalog entry for the Le Mans-winning Ferrari 330 Testa Rossa, but the same could be said for the Lamborghini Miura SV that former RM star David Gooding sold at his record $61 million Monterey auction.

In 1992, the Miura SV was sold to a collector in Japan with only 36,000 km on the odometer. It remained in Japan until 2007, when it was purchased by the vendor, a well-known California collector and friend of Paul Forbes. Today, 4882 is amazingly well preserved, with an indicated 38,533 km (believed to be original), an original interior, and original numbered drivetrain. The car has a clear history, is in excellent condition, and as an SV is a most refined and powerful production Miura variant.
