1967 Lambourghini Miura P400 As Seen on Jay Leno's Garage

Legend has it that after being slighted by Enzo Ferrari, tractor manufacturer and GT enthusiast Ferruccio Lamborghini set out to make the perfect car in 1963. Two years later, the first supercar was born. Named after a Spanish ganadería which produces particularly fierce bulls, the Miura astonished the public when only the chassis was shown in 1965, with its V12 engine mounted transversely behind the cockpit. Many pundits doubted that Ferruccio would ever put his mid-engine mount into production. At the time, almost all cars designed for the road were rear drive with engines placed under the hood. Despite the sensation caused by early prototypes, Ferruccio planned on a limited production of about 50 cars. When the orders started pouring in, his team had to scramble through development, creating some confusion with earlier models, as changes were implemented over a range of serial numbers. Early Miuras were known as P400s, and were powered by a version of Lamborghini’s famous 3.9 liter V12 engine, producing 350 hp. Taking a cue from the Mini, the gearbox and engine were formed in one casting and shared oil.

About 274 P400s were manufactured between 1966 and 1969. This is number 124, part of the first batch that was built of 0.9mm steel, a bit lighter than later cars.

This Muira P400 is yellow in colour with black leather interior. It is a beautiful peice of machinery and very meticulously kept with all the original papers, photographs and ownership from all owners! Any questions can be sent to .
