A completely spectacular 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 is currently for sale in Victoria, in the Canadian province of British Columbia.
This particular Miura is one of approximately 750 examples built between 1966 and 1973 and is Chassis 3357. It left the factory on March 6, 1968 and was sold new in Italy before being purchased by a collector in California and exported to the U.S. In 2014, the Italian classic was purchased by the Bobileff Motorcar Company before being purchased by the current owner who commissioned a two-year restoration.
