The Lamborghini Miura revolutionized the concept of the sports car in the 1960s. It is considered the first supercar in history. In fact, it combined a V12 engine mounted in a central position with an impressive Bertone design.

Among the many Miura produced, chassis 4809 is a 1971 P400 S that will be present at the upcoming Broad Arrow Global Icons auction. This auction will include more than 100 lots related to legends such as Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.

History, Restoration, and Originality of the Unit

Between 2006 and 2011, the vehicle was meticulously restored to the classic Giallo Miura with a black leather interior. Furthermore, the original “matching numbers” engine was updated to the SV split crankcase lubrication system. The Lamborghini arrives at the auction in a near-original state, fresh from a full service valued at more than 15,000 Swiss francs.

For enthusiasts, this Lamborghini represents not only a symbol of Italian engineering. It is also a piece of automotive culture that has inspired generations of supercars.

The Broad Arrow Global Icons auction will open for bidding on January 23, 2026, and will close on January 30, 2026, for the cars. A selling price for the Miura is estimated between 1.6 and 1.8 million euros. This significant figure reflects the historical value of a car that forever changed the concept of the Italian sports car.
