A 1972 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV sold for $6.605 million at Broad Arrow's Amelia Island auction, setting a new auction record for the model. The result exceeded the previous best public-auction price for a Miura by more than $1.7 million.
The car's condition and ownership history were central to its appeal. Broad Arrow described it as an exceptionally original time-capsule example that had remained with one private American collector for more than half a century. Its pre-sale estimate was $3.5 million to $4 million, so the final price cleared the upper estimate by a wide margin.
A later results review by Classic Car Auctions identified the car as one of 13 U.S.-market split-sump Miura P400 SVs equipped with factory air conditioning. It was originally finished in metallic silver and was repainted Blue Notte during the 1970s. The same source described the car as largely original, unmodified and unrestored.
The $6.605 million result also placed this individual Miura unusually high in Lamborghini's wider auction history. Classic Car Auctions reported that it was the second-highest public auction price for a Lamborghini at the time, behind only the Veneno Roadster sold by Bonhams in 2019. For the Miura itself, the Amelia result established a substantially higher benchmark for the model.
