Engine #30692
Prod. #685

Originally to Modena Car, NY, USA.
July 12, 2006 - It has been confirmed that a licensed California classic car dealer has sold Miura SV chassis number 4992 to a private collector for a world-record $610,000US. As of July the 12th 2006, the car had already been bought and paid for by its new California-based owner. Production number 685, "4992" was completed at Sant Agata on December the 4th 1971 as one of just 21 Type-USA Miura SVs, a limited series of Miura SVs produced to a unique specificaton especially for the USA market. 4992 featured a split-sump engine number 30692, and the factory-fitted air-condition option. The price paid by the car's collector owner was as a result of multiple interest in the car, this SVs ultra low documented mileage of 18,934 miles, its beautifully original condition and also because 4992 has the unique distinction of having had just one owner from new. This SV became available only when its first owner passed away recently and the Estate decided to sell. It is worth noting that in fact the purchase price is not only the highest paid for a Miura of any kind, but the highest paid for any type of Lamborghini.
California, USA.
