Lamborghini Miura SV Jota for Monterey Auction
There is only one vehicle purpose built by the Lamborghini works as a prototype car with the Jota modification that has factory validation as purpose-built. Serial Number 4892 is this particular car offered at Russo and Steele Monterey; it was built on the 13th of July, 1971 and sold to a Japanese enthusiast Mr. Tomita who imported it into his country originally; where it remained with him until three years ago when he sold it to the current owner. He received a written declaration as to the car’s authenticity from Ubaldo Sgarzi in August of 1974 when he himself returned to the factory for a new LP400 Countach. Additional documentation from Claudio Zampolli and the original Jota’s creator Bob Wallace, also convey to further document this car’s authenticity. Originally finished in white with blue, it was apparently refinished in 1974 to its current Rosso Granada livery with ‘Naturale’ tan leather interior to match the aforementioned Countach. It is fully detailed in the Lamborghini registry and its full restoration was completed by marque specialist Gary Bobileff.
