Do you love rare sales? Well, it may not get any rarer than this;
http://www.bingosports.co.jp/inventory/detail_93.html
The one-off Lamborghini Miura SVR has popped up for sale in Japan's Bingo Sports after a secluded 40-year life in the country, so if your wallet is crying out for a stupid rare and expensive Miura, be sure to give this one a shot. If the wallet can handle it, that is...
And of course, the price tag is "POA", because putting a value on such a rare bull prematurely is not how you sell one. First the Italian Job Miura, now the SVR... 2015 is the year for rare and famous Miuras to be bought and sold, it seems.

Blame the Jota for influencing people's tastes in Miuras, really. If anything, the inspiration behind the SVR as well as the SVJ was the Jota, for the best or the worst, so that is why those two have the "racing-esque" treatment that they received...
The wing may not be pretty, but it's the distinct factor that sets the SVR apart from "normal" Miuras, or one of the factors to be more precise.

If I had the money I'd buy that monstrosity and put it back to the way it ought to be.

I like it, but without the wing of course. The cut up rear is cool, reminds me of stuff like the 037.

Why not get a 'cheaper' Miura which you don't have to fiddle with?

I can side with this idea, to be perfectly honest. Why go to extreme lengths such as buying an extremely expensive, one-off Miura for the sake of "rescuing" it, when you can opt for purchasing a shell in far worse condition and bring it back to pristine condition? You can have other "normal" Miuras without having to end the life of an unique variation, whether it is a "monstrosity" or not...

Why is there a spoiler of that Miura's roof anyway? Is there better downforce offered when putting the spoiler on the roof or something?
It looks kinda boyracerish and that's something I never thought I would say about a Miura.

Some things should just not be messed with.
This is absolute perfection. There is not one single thing that could have been be improved and it should have been left alone.
The crazy thing about these special Miuras is that only 5 SV/Js were officially produced by Lamborghini (because Jota legend, why not?) and the rest of those "Jota-spec" Miuras are basically tuned P400-spec cars and also sold by owners in ridiculous prices comparable to that of the official SV/J's.
That red SVR started life as a green Miura then its Swiss owner dumped it with crazy mods just to have his very own Jota.
That's when crazy Lamborghini tuning started, along with the Walter Wolf Countach (that became the basis for wheel arches and spoilers of the later Countaches like the QV)

Want a Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione?

And it's also ROAD LEGAL.
Actually, check out the entire Bingo Sports website. It's a second-hand car showroom located in Japan which has an insane inventory - from one-off specials to street-legal racing cars.

But there's so many others that you wouldn't be butchering something rare to fit your ordeal? I don't understand...

And then there's probably around 1% of that like this?

The 5 SVJs were not even close to IOTA, though, which is the sad part. This SVR which was originally a P400S, has become the closest thing to IOTA's original build & IOTA will likely never be for sale publicly since its been fully restored.
As questionable as the looks are, they were done to keep the car stable as it far out-performed any Miura before it (BBS wheels, Pirelli P7 tires, Recaro seats, different cams, opened up carbs, Koni shocks, Girling Porsche 917 racing brakes, open exhaust, wing on roof). The restoration for this car has remained as close as it was in '75/'76 beyond the god-awful interior color. Funny enough, I think #4891 is now a clone of the SVR-minus the wing. Don't know if it has any of the internal work, though likely not.
As for taking the car back to "stock", that's by far the dumbest thing you could ever do. IOTA is the "holy grail" of the Miura line & SVR is right behind her with a few others. Production was around 740 cars, & like the 250 GTO, the vast majority is still around. Crashed/burned cars have been restored.

Don't care for it myself, but I'm sure it will sale for what is being asked of it. And that's why I'm posting it.

$1.3-$1.6 million for a MP12 with a few extras and a horrendously tacky paint scheme
If anyone plays more than the average market value of 2012 12C for that they are insane.
Yeah but it's a one off, commissioned by Ron Dennis and with signatures from important members of the team at the time and also the vodafone colors if it wasn't clear enough the 12C you drove was a McLaren. Also it's a high sport so not the typical 12C, so more aero, better braking and more power and some different thing aesthetics wise. Though I don't see this selling more than say 600 or 700k

I just don't see the value in even a limited production 12C, and certainly not getting on for 10x the value of a base model.
You're being asked to pay for upgrades that were available to any owner via the special operations department, a few signatures from the motorsports team (not sure if this has any value) and the fact that Ron Dennis was the original owner (again, what value does this have?).
IMO, it's worth about half it's original invoice price - which is the typical depreciation curve for a MP12.
