Widely regarded as the first true supercar, the Miura put a transverse V12 behind the seats and wrapped it in one of the most beautiful shapes ever drawn. From the P400 to the final SV, it is a cornerstone of any great collection.

Performance in context
The Miura’s transverse V12 and low, wide body made it fast and dramatic for its era. It is bought for its design and significance as much as its pace, and it delivers on both.
The market: what a Miura is worth now
Miura values depend heavily on variant. Early P400 cars typically trade around $1,000,000 to $1,500,000, with the rare, final SV worth well into the multiple millions.

What to look for when buying
- Variant — P400, then S, then the rare SV; values rise sharply with each.
- Matching numbers — originality and documented history are critical.
- Rust and structure — check the chassis and body carefully; restoration quality varies.
- Restoration history — documented, specialist restorations command the premium.
- Originality — correct colour, trim and details support value.
