Raid your piggy bank! Harvest your kidneys! Goddammit, just find any form of currency you can, because this unique Jota-inspired Millechiodi" Lamborghini Miura is up for sale and needs to go to a good home. As you can see, it"s not your normal Miura. Yes, it"s utterly stunning no shizz, they all are but this one is a bit fightier. A bit angrier. And a hell of a lot rarer than the 1968 Miura P400 S it"s built from. Like a lot of one-offs, it was the product of a man with a lot of money and ambition, specifically, a man called Walter Ronchi. The successful Milanese businessman owned Lamborghini engineer Bob Wallace"s famous toy" (the legendary one-off Miura Jota) before selling it. However, it was destroyed in an accident in April 1971 (after Ronchi sold it but before it was delivered to a new home), so Walter wanted to build another one-off. The plan was to use a normal Miura P400 S (chassis 4302") and modify it into a pseudo SVJ. That meant giving the V12 a tickle, freeing up the exhausts and beefing up the body before adding a Jota spec full-width front spoiler and Plexiglas-covered headlamps.
