- Colour
- Bright red (repainted; originally white)
Chassis 4356 is a numbers-matching 1969 Lamborghini Miura S, the 437th example built and one of only 140 S-specification cars produced. Bodied by Bertone to Marcello Gandini's design and powered by its original 3,929cc quad-cam V12, the car spent nearly 45 years in the custody of a single California family, accumulating approximately 38,000 kilometres. It retains original body panels, interior components, and drivetrain, though the exterior was repainted red at some point during its long ownership. The car is described as running and driving, making it a candidate for partial or full restoration.

Certain mechanical and suspension components visible from underneath were cosmetically refreshed while the overall drivetrain and engine compartment were largely left undisturbed, retaining as many original parts as possible.
