Fresh out of the Spur Classic Cars collection alone with the Miura, owner now deceased, 
If you asked 6 months ago i would have said £350K/£400K but with a lot of Countach hype lately mainly from
John Temerian from Curated in Miami mentioning that they are or soon to be a $1000,000 car probably nearer
£500K/£600K with that mileage but asking and getting are always two different things, could be miles out though.

I guess you already know this but from my research gleaned by looking over a year or more, the hierarchy in terms of price is 400, then S1 400S then QV/S2 400S, it is hard to say where they sit but perhaps S2 above QV. 400S 1 and 2 are lowbody cars then 5000 and 400S3 perhaps on a par.Injected cars are considered less desirable than carb cars.
The above has a big caveat in that very small numbers of cars are available so it is hard to be precise about prices due to low supply and low demand.
Condition is also really important and your car has a very appealing low mileage and if the condition matches that will be a huge plus. There are very few cars with that low mileage and if you find the right buyer you can expect a top price. There have been some strong prices in the US and LHD is a wider market and the pound is weak these days.
Depending on usage it might require some recommissioning which is a factor. My guess is slightly south of rat rod’s but that is not to say my view is any better than his. It all depends on finding the right buyer, which might take some time even in the present market where it seems demand is relatively strong.
The colour is fab but then I would say that!

It's us selling for my father-in-law who passed away last month unfortunately, so looking to see a rough price so we know we are selling for roughly the right amount.
The number plate is valuable too but if its part of the cars history then should be kept with it but valued in. You could ask a company like Furlonger to sell it for you on an agreed commission basis. They have just sold a QV recently.
Or you could get it recommisioned and sold at one of the international auction houses.
Someone mentioned that there is also a Miura, that would be interesting to see too.
Your father-in-law had very good taste in cars.

Sorry to here about the loss of your father-inlaw , he was a bit of a character by all accounts,Very eclectic taste in cars with a mix of Italian,American and British classics ,
Been driving yanks for 40 odd years and still have 4 of them it's a wonder our paths didn't cross.
Good luck with the sale of the cars,

Thank you. It's a bit of a minefield for someone with no knowledge of the market. I have some healthy offers in, but even then I don't know if they are strong offers or not. Cheers for the advice, much appreciatedInjected cars are considered less desirable than carb cars.

I work in sales, so have been contacting some companies/individuals that I know may be interested or may have contacts. It's weird that the Miura has less interest than the Countach so far, but early days. It has a quality history!!!You could ask a company like Furlonger to sell it for you on an agreed commission basis. They have just sold a QV recently.

I posted a thread in the Lamborghini Classics area yesterday with a video of both the cars, so you can see it in there. It's a lovely looking car.
He did, he also has a Corvette Stingray ZR2. That is my favourite.

Very much a character and just a really nice bloke. He loved American cars and pretty much built his business over 50 years doing this. There are just 2 stingrays, an El Camino and a Stutz Blackhawk left now on the US side of thingsVery eclectic taste in cars with a mix of Italian,American and British classics ,

Thank you and the Miura looks an absolute dream. I particularly like what looks like the original leather seats. The wheel isn't original. The paintwork looks good in the video. Possibly a negative is that its RHD as LHD could widen its market. Where are you in the country?Gassing Station | Lamborghini Classics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
