1968 Lamborghini

This example was completed at Sant’Agata Bolognese and delivered to Lamborghini’s Italian agent SEA S.r.L on 5th September 1968 finished in the striking shade of Bleu Miura over a Skay Senape interior. An exceptionally rare specification, the factory records confirm that just 37 Miura P400s were produced in this hue.

The Miura was sold later that month to its first owner, Gian Giacomo Paladino of Rome, before passing shortly thereafter to Sig. Lamberto Genesi. In November 1969, the car returned to SEA and was subsequently sold to Sig. Vanoli of Como. Another change of ownership followed in May 1970, when the car was registered to Maria Monastero, who would retain it for more than a decade until May 1982.

Over the years, chassis 3645 underwent a number of changes, including a repaint in Rosso Miura. By 2009, it was offered at auction and finished in Blu Sera. Exported to the Middle East soon after, the car was acquired by the current consigning owner in 2018, who resolved to return the Miura to its original factory specification.

To that end, the car was entrusted to the respected Italian restoration specialist Scartapatti in 2018 for a full bare-metal, concours-level restoration. A comprehensive photographic record documents the entire process, from initial disassembly and stripping to bare metal, through the careful application of fresh Bleu Miura paint, a complete overhaul of the engine and running gear, installation of a new interior, and final assembly. The meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout, extending even to period-correct touches such as the proper Fiam decals on the airbox. Completed in 2021, the Miura now presents superbly in its original Bleu Miura and Skay Senape colour combination.

One of only 37 Miura P400s finished in Bleu Miura, this examples stands as an outstanding example of Lamborghini’s most celebrated model. Retaining its matching-numbers engine and benefitting from an exceptional concours restoration, it is now ready to begin its next chapter with a new custodian.
