1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 Coupe
A fine example of Marcello Gandini's masterpiece will be going to auction September 27 at RM Sotheby's St. Moritz event. This 1968 Lamborghini Miura, possibly the only car that could make the color white look stunning, is one of the later "thick chassis" versions that had structural upgrades to improve rigidity, thanks to Gian Paolo Dallara. Gian would go on to found the ultra-successful Dallara racing company, one of the top names in motorsport today. The car was originally delivered to Milan, before arriving in California in the late '90s — the fate of all classic sports cars. Over a decade later it was for sale again with a transplanted Chevy V8 and ZF transaxle, most likely from a De Tomaso Mangusta. From there it came to Sweden, where an extensive restoration to its original V12 engine and a respray in white was performed, bringing it to a concours-level state.
