Broad Arrow Presents Lamborghini Miura SV That Spent 52 Years in Single Ownership at its 2026 Amelia Concours Auction
Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Feb. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty (NYSE:HGTY), is thrilled to unveil one of the best preserved, low-mileage, time capsule Miura examples in existence as a featured highlight of its upcoming Amelia Concours Auction. Set for March 6-7 at the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island in Florida, Broad Arrow's two-day sale is the official auction of the renowned Amelia Concours and will present more than 175 exceptional cars for auction on the shores of the Atlantic, coupled with four days of exciting events including an elegant evening of bespoke experiences at Reverie, the premier opening night of the Amelia Concours d'Elegance.
The 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV (Estimate: $3,500,000 - $4,000,000) on offer at Broad Arrow's 2026 Amelia Concours Auction is an extraordinary example of what is widely held as the world's first true supercar. Its design was stunning, low, menacing yet remarkably beautiful and its engineering was atypical to say the least—a transversely mounted V12 displacing four liters, fed by four Weber carburetors, and it was mounted amidships, the way most true supercars have been configured since that time. It was a tour de force to say the least, with a chassis engineered by Giampaolo Dallara and Paolo Stanzani, a body built by Bertone in Turin, and a design by a young Marcello Gandini, whose stellar career requires no introduction. Lamborghini's bombshell design set the course for decades of model evolution to come.
The car on offer, chassis number 4976, represents the final evolution in the Miura model series, the SV, which benefitted from from years of iterative changes and very notably, an increase in horsepower to 385 horsepower, 15 more than its predecessor, with adjusted cam timing and Weber carburetion. Design-wise, the model is immediately recognizable for its lack of headlight "eyelashes" and the aggressively voluptuous rear fenders that were widened to accommodate the larger wheels and tires. Reserved strictly for VIP clients, and by special order only, just 150 examples of the SV were produced. Beyond that, a mere 21 examples were delivered to the U.S.—of which just thirteen were factory-equipped with the ultimate split-sump-equipped engine.
Chassis number 4976 is one of these rare and most desirable, late production and fully evolved split-sump, U.S.-market specification models. Completed at the Sant'Agata Lamborghini works during fall/winter 1971/72, 4976 was originally delivered in Argento Indianapolis Metallizzato (Silver Metallic) with soft gold metallic lower trim panels and alloy wheels, over a black leather and grey carpet interior, which remains intact and showing a beautiful patina today. Factory options installed on the Miura include seat belts, hexagonal wheel nuts, a radio with tape player, and the desirable Borletti Air Conditioning system, all of which remain in situ. Lamborghini's U.S. concessionaire, Modena Racing Company and Mr. Alfredo Pedretti took delivery of the Miura in the summer of 1972. During the following six to nine months, the engine was swapped with that of sister-car, Miura SV chassis number 4992, until recently, when the engines were swapped back, now giving both cars their matching numbers engines.
On April 21, 1973, the Miura SV joined the exceptional collection of Dr. Hector A. Escamilla of San Antonio, Texas, with whom it would remain for the next 52 years. Apart from a late 1970s repaint in a color much like the factory color Blue Notte, 4976 is offered at Broad Arrow's Amelia Concours Auction in remarkably original and unmodified condition, with just 18,212 miles recorded on the odometer at the time of cataloging. The original matching-numbers engine has been rebuilt by the specialists at Motion Products Inc. of Wisconsin, and its original interior, options, gauges, and switches remain intact. The car retains its numbered chassis and bodywork throughout, further confirming an original and undamaged car.
"Amongst even the most special examples, this particular Miura SV stands out to me for a few reasons," says Jakob Greisen, Senior Car Specialist, Broad Arrow Auctions. "First off, it is probably one of, if not the best-preserved example around, having spent 52 years, nearly all its life, in a single owner's devoted care. It has also covered just over 18,000 miles from new, and, aside from one respray of the exterior, the car remains original and intact. On top of all this, it is one of the 13 rare and desirable, fully evolved Miura SV examples with split-sump lubrication and factory A/C. Broad Arrow's Amelia Concours Auction is indeed an opportunity to buy a truly special example of the world's first supercar and the most collectible Lamborghini model of all time."
