The Miura S we’re offering was issued with its Certificate of Origin on 15 November 1968 and was one of a mere 46 examples delivered to the Torinese concessionaire Lamborauto, situated a stone’s throw from the Bertone plant, where the Lamborghinis’ sculptural bodies were designed.
The fifth of 338 Miura Ss built, chassis number 3799 was originally finished in the striking colour combination of Verde Miura over a Senape (that’s mustard in the Queen’s) faux leather and cloth interior. A man by the name of Piero Quadro acquired the car on 2 January 1968, paying the princely sum of 7.7m Italian lire for the pleasure. We can think of worse ways to quash the January blues than with a brand new Lamborghini!
There are some fabulous photos of this Miura at the Turin Aero Club captured shortly after it was delivered. Presumably Quadro was a keen pilot and wanted to exhibit his new land-based pride and joy alongside his Cessna.
Chassis 3799 remained in Italy for seven years, before it was acquired by Rosmarie Rosser in Schoenbuehl and re-registered in Switzerland. Almost a decade later, in 1984, this Lamborghini was registered in France.
This Miura would arrive at its final destination thus far, the United Kingdom, in 2001, when it was bought by one of the most influential industrial designers of his generation. Said designer entrusted GTC Engineering in Buckingham with a comprehensive restoration. At this point, the interior was retrimmed in blue – a shade which, in our humble opinion, better complements the dazzling Verde Miura exterior. The car was registered in the UK in 2004 with the number ‘XBY 375F’, which it retains to this day.
Chassis 3799 remained with its first UK-based custodian for 17 years, during which time it was treasured and enjoyed as part of a collection of truly distinguished taste. In 2018, the Lamborghini changed hands, the new UK owner having the car featured in a dedicated feature in Petrolicious – then a publication of dizzying popularity.

This Miura was acquired by its current owner in 2021 and promptly sent to a specialist near London for a thorough inspection and a number of remedial tasks including the fitment of 12 new spark plugs, cleaning of the rotor arms and posts, balancing of the carburettors and adjustment of the mixtures. More recently, in early 2023, a further mechanical inspection was conducted by the same specialist, at which point the engine oil was replaced and protective cavity wax was applied to the concealed areas of the Miura’s underside..
