Chassis 4245 is a 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S finished in Giallo Flay over a Skay Bleu interior, one of the most original unrestored examples known. Delivered to its first owner in Germany in 1971, it passed to a second family in 1974 and remained with them for over four decades. Never fully restored, it retains its original engine and factory paintwork, and is accompanied by its original German registration document, period licence plates, service book, and factory correspondence.
