VIN: Rod Stewart's Lamborghini Miura P400 chassis 3372
History of chassis 3372
Chassis 3372 was the 181st Miura built.
Painted White with an optional Black leather interior, it was built on the later 1mm thick chassis with right-hand drive.
Lamborghini dispatched the car on May 28th 1968 and it was exported to the UK.
3372 spent the next couple of years with Cheshire car dealer and amateur racing driver, Brian Classic. For much of this time, Brian Classic used it on trade plates.
The Miura was not officially registered until May 28th 1970. From this point, it wore the registration number OVM 8H.
On September 9th 1971, chassis 3372 appeared in a series of photographs with Rod Stewart at his home in Southgate, north London. Taken by Victor Blackman, they were captioned “British rock singer Rod Stewart with his Lamborghini Miura”.
3372 was the first of Stewart’s three Miuras. It was followed by a white Miura S in November 1971 (chassis 4863) and a yellow SV in June 1972 (chassis 4818). Both cars were also right-hand drive.
Soon after his white S was delivered, the two Miuras were pictured together on Stewart’s driveway.
The arrival of the yellow SV in June 1972 meant 3372 was surplus to requirements. Stewart sold it on 26th July 1972 and the London authorities issued a duplicate log book (presumably because the original had been lost).
The Miura was purchased by Adrian Millar, a music producer and band manager. For seven months, the car resided outside Millar’s apartment on Weymouth Street in the Marylebone district of central London.
On February 20th 1973, Millar sold 3372 to Francis Holmes of Gorleston, Norfolk.
Chassis 3372 thereafter went through the hands of several private UK owners.
