1967 Lamborghini Miura P400

3111roadItaly

Engine: 4.0L transverse V12
Colour: Giallo (yellow)

Chassis 3111 is an early Lamborghini Miura P400, the 57th example produced, delivered on 2 September 1967 to the Paris Lamborghini dealership Voitures Paris Monceau as a demonstrator vehicle. Finished in Giallo over a Bleu interior, it is believed to have featured in the French film La Leçon Particulière and in period road tests by French automotive publications. After passing through a television producer and a private Alsatian owner, it entered the Petitjean Collection by 1979, where it has remained in long-term static storage. It currently carries a period-correct early engine (no. 1067) from a different chassis.
