This Lamborghini Miura SVJ Is One Of Just Four Ever Made

One of just four, according to Lamborghini (note, the the seller Kidston claims three cars were made but the Italian company lists four vehicles), Miura SVJ models ever to leave the factory is currently up for sale, but it certainly won’t be cheap.

The original Miura SVJ came to life thanks to Lamborghini test driver Bob Wallace who wanted a motorsport-inspired variant of the car. A single prototype was made, built from the ground-up with new parts and featuring distinct headlights, a free-flowing exhaust system, a tweaked V12 engine, and a stripped-out interior. The prototype was sold to VIP client Dr Alfredo Belponer but was sadly destroyed in a high-speed road accident just before the delivery.

There was quite a bit of interest in the Miura SVJ over the following years, so much so that the Lamborghini factory agreed to build four models at its Italian factory while also converting some existing SV models into SVJs. This SVJ is one of four that was built new by Lamborghini and is chassis 5090.

It is known as ‘The Corsican Car’ and was built for a French property developer. At one stage, it was repainted silver grey but it has since been returned to the original Rosso Granada and was the subject of a three-year restoration that was completed in 2012. It has just 19,582 km (12,167 miles) on the clock and is regarded as the Holy Grail of Lamborghinis.

The car has been listed up for sale by Kidston and while no price has been made public, it will certainly sell for seven figures.

Correction: While the seller Kidston claims that three Miura SVJs were built, Lamborghini itself lists four original SVJs were made by the company, so we’re going by what the manufacturer says.
