1967 Lamborghini Miura P400 – Upgraded to S Specification
Completed on the 29th of May, 1967, Chassis 3009 represents one of the earliest examples of the landmark Miura P400, being the 23rd car produced. Delivered new through the esteemed Italian dealer Monzeglio, it was originally—and remains to this day—finished in the evocative and timeless colour combination of Rosso Miura over Nero Fintapelle.
Following its initial years in Italy, the car made its way across the border to France before eventually crossing the Atlantic to the United States, as was common with many Miuras of the era. In the early 1990s, Chassis 3009 returned to France where it underwent a comprehensive restoration overseen by GTO and the renowned Carrosserie Le Coq in Paris. Originally constructed with the early “thin chassis,” the car received appropriate reinforcements during this meticulous restoration.
At the same time, the then-owner opted to subtly enhance the car’s mechanical specification. These upgrades included the fitment of Miura S brakes, wider SV-type rear wheels and tyres, SV suspension components, and a modernised electrical system, improving both performance and reliability while remaining faithful to the spirit of the model.
Chassis 3009 was proudly exhibited by Le Coq at the 2003 Retromobile Salon in Paris, and its restoration was later featured in Automobiles Classiques, one of France’s most respected motoring publications.
In 2007, the car was entrusted to the workshop of engine specialist Edmond Ciclet in western France. There, a period-correct factory replacement engine was installed and upgraded to desirable split-sump specification. Importantly, the original engine block was retained and remains with the car to this day.
In August 2008, the Miura appeared in the French edition of Classic & Sports Car. Although registered at the time as 15 JR 118, the vehicle appeared in the magazine bearing the registration 6000 TQ 14, a plate associated with a Lamborghini Countach.
Chassis 3009 changed hands in 2013 when it was acquired by renowned enthusiast and collector Mark Ticktum, following its sale by Cecil Cars of Paris. The car was subsequently imported into the United Kingdom, where it benefited from regular servicing by Lamborghini specialists Barkaways.
In October 2016, this notable Miura took part in the official 50th Anniversary Miura Tour through Spain, proudly bearing the UK registration YTA 443E.
Acquired by its current owner—a prominent collector and Lamborghini VIP client—in 2020, Chassis 3009 has been sparingly used, yet well maintained as part of an esteemed collection. Its enduring appeal was once again recognised in April 2022 when it was featured in Classic & Sports Car.
An outstanding early example upgraded with tasteful and well-documented enhancements, Chassis 3009 offers the best of both originality and usability, and stands as a particularly attractive entry into the rarefied world of the Lamborghini Miura.
