Supercars never go out of style. What was top of the line and highly desired in 1971 is bound to turn heads today, especially when talking about a Lamborghini. Now that a fully-restored 1971 Lamborhingi is heading to auction, estimates price the car at $2.2 million. In the spirit of all things chrome and monochromatic, this metal-inspired vehicle is sure to catch the attention of passersby wherever it lands. Rather than discuss a beautiful coat of paint, which is common when reviewing rides like these, the onlooker’s attention should turn to the aluminum exterior. This will 100% be the case when the car is auctioned by RM Sotheby’s this month. An outstanding example of the late Series II S models, the ride is only one of a limited run of such vehicles. Adding to the allure of the sale, bodywork by Bertone, upgrades, and overall thoughtful attention paid to design make this car stand out in all the right ways as a P400 S. Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s The story behind this particular model is unique. The chassis 4761 was obtained by a student at the University of California, Berkeley originally. After a few years on the road, the car was garaged after having been in an unfortunate auto wreck. Rumor has it that the car wasn’t intended for the student to drive. Instead, she was supposed to sell it to collect on the investment. She opted to drive it until the accident occurred. The damage to the right front head of the car wasn’t too bad but proved tricky for the technology at the time. The car was discovered and purchased by a fan of the Lambo marque two years ago. From there, it was restored and reconfigured by professionals hailing from Beckman Metal Works with a process that lasted for eight months. And yes, some Lamborghini factory parts were used. The ride now boasts a V12 engine and a five-speed transmission (manual). The original 1966 Miura had 350 hp. This vehicle, however, offers an additional 20. Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s The style, even in the 70s, set the car apart from the rest of the pack. Decades later, fans and collectors admire the car’s simplicity in terms of design, paying attention to the headlights, engine performance, and overall quality. It’s said that only 50 of this particular type of automobile were produced, so the chassis 4761 headed to the auction block is rare indeed. Complete with a compelling backstory, the car is sure to draw attention for its overall look. What was once black and white paint has been removed to reveal the aluminum finish. A blue interior likewise makes the car more attractive. Other upgrades include a serviced fuel tank, aluminum cooling tubes, and new brake lines. With improvements made to the timing chain tensioners and the valve springs, it’s sure to be a car that “purrs like a kitten” when the key turns the ignition. What’s the mileage? Here’s the impressive part! Because of the incident and years in storage, the odometer is sitting pretty at about 16,000 miles. Offered without reserve, the current estimate for the going price rests somewhere between $1,800,000 and $2,200,000. rmsothebys.com Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s Karissa Hosek/RM Sotheby’s
