Miura Roadster

1 built

Presented at the Brussels motor show in January 1968 as a styling exercise by Carrozzeria Bertone, it accentuated certain features of the Miura, such as the air intakes. With its metallic blue livery, white leather interior, red carpets and exposed engine, with no windows and no roof, it was truly a car destined to remain a unique style icon.

In 1968, Bertone presented a roadster based on the P400; this vehicle never came to Sant’Agata, Ferruccio apparently only saw it on the occasion of the presentation in Brussels in January 1968, and it is missing from the official history (the chassis number is known, however, 3498). Apparently, Bertone noticed already during the opening works that this roadster had no chance of being produced in series. The car was sold to the International Lead and Zinc Research Organization (ILZRO), which used it as an exhibition piece and christened it “Zn75”. The roadster underwent in 2006-2008 a complete restoration in the US and today belongs to a well-known collector.
