A few days ago, we presented one of the lots listed for next month’s RM Sotheby’s Monterey Car Week auction. The model in question was a 1964 Shelby 289 Cobra dubbed the “Snake Charmer.” Also slated a few days after the event is the Pebble Beach Auctions. Meanwhile, Gooding & Company previews a machine that will be up for bid — a 1970 Lamborghini Miura P400 S.

According to official records, the Italian marque assembled a total of 764 units of the sports car over seven years. Serious collector5s would gladly pay good money to add models like it to their fleet. This 1970 Miura P400 S appears extremely desirable, given the condition and backstory behind its acquisition.

The group in charge of its ***** tells us the vehicle was sold new in Italy before it was eventually shipped to the ******* States around the ’80s. Surprisingly, after a short stint in action, the owner at the time decided to turn it into a unique showpiece in the living room.

Gooding & Company confirms that it has never been publicly exhibited since then. As far as condition goes, an inspection notes small imperfections likely from normal usage. The 1970 Miura P400 S on offer never underwent any restoration work but received a repaint a little over four decades ago.

The two-seater is outfitted with Campagnolo rims still shod in Pirelli tires from its construction *******. Whoever ends up with the keys has a long list of items to work on to make it even more presentable. Nevertheless, the 1970 Miura P400 S looks remarkably presentable as is. Gooding & Company estimates bids might reach $2.5 million for chassis number 4614 with engine number 30531.
