It is obvious that all the Lamborghini cars are very beautiful and extravagant. But there are a few classical models that are considered by lots of people as masterpieces. This is also the case of the Miura model, the car that was named the first genuine Supercar in the world.

The Japanese at Bingo Sport decided to put a very rare Lamborghini on sale. It is a Miura model from 1968 that was afterward transformed into a Jota SVR. You can actually say that it is the 100% Jota model replica, produced in one single model in 1970 by the company, with the help of the test pilot Bob Wallace.

Unfortunately, the original car which was made in order to continue it in a more numerous production for races got into the hands of a passionate fan that irremediably destroyed it in the race in Italy.

And because the unique Jota model was completely different from a classic Miura, being lighter and with additional aerodynamic elements, there were more customers that wanted this car for themselves. Thus, the factory needed to make some compromises and it offered its customers the possibility to transform their classic Miura into a Jota 400, by sending it to the Lamborghini factory, for the right price, of course. Herbert Hahne, the original owner of such a model, which is now on sale in Japan, did the same.

A Lamborghini Miura 400 Jota transformed had fixed lights, not retracting, smaller ground clearance, a more powerful engine, a huge aileron on the ceiling, and special rims. The car that was sold by Bingo Sport was transformed from a Miura into a Jota in 1975, when it received huge tires on its back, along with the widening of the wings. Some Recaro seats, made out of leather and a Blaupunkt audio system have been installed in the interior.

After it has been modified according to the original Jota, the car went back to Germany and then to Japan, where it has spent the last 40 years. Recently, the car went through a complete, by the book restoration, which has raised its value. In the present, this Lambo-Miura-Jota is in a new state, perfectly functional, being one of the very few that have survived the nowadays; But since we are talking about a car that has been produced in only a few copies, even if it is a conversion, it is still a factory produced car.

There are less than 5 cars that have been originally transformed, while Miura is still produced in the Sant-Agata Bolognese factory. So, we expect the price to easily exceed 1 million dollars.
