Description: This fantastic Miura’s exhaustive documentation contains sales contracts that confirm its first delivery to enthusiast and entrepreneur Otto Wild on the 16th July 1968 through Garage Foitek in Zurich. The car was delivered in the striking combination of "blu Miura" and "Skai senape". One interesting clause in the sales contract stated that Foitek would be prepared to take the car back for CHF 45’000 after one year if it was in impeccable condition and had covered less than 10’000km. Wirz duly took advantage of this offer and exchanged the Miura in March 1969 for a Miura «S». In the same month, Foitek found a new owner, an entrepreneur from Biel (Bienne) for Chassis 3604. He gave a Ferrari 330 GT in exchange and became the second owner of the Miura which by then had covered a mere 4’300km. Before delivery, the car was repainted in a metallig green at the request of the buyer. In December 1972 Foitek sold the car once more, with now 32’000km on the clock and painted yellow. This is the moment where Chassis 3604 became part of a private collection and seemingly disappeared for nearly 40 years! A number of years ago, the current vendor bought the Miura which by then had only covered a few hundred kilometers more. He had the body restored and repainted in its original colour. The interior was found in good condition - in accordance with the still rather low total mileage - and it responded well to a thorough cleaning. Well known Lamborghini specalist Marcel Donati (www.sportwagenspezialist.ch) took care of the mechanical side and the following jobs were completed: The fuel tank was removed, flushed, corrosion removed and a protective coating applied. The carburettors, fuel pump and all fuel lines were replaced. The oil sump was removed and cleaned and the oil filter was replaced. Distributor, ignition cables and waterpump were replaced. Brake calipers were overhauled and brake lines, brake pads, master brake cylinder and brake pressure regulator replaced. Clutch master- and slave-cylinder were replaced. Timing chain tension was adjusted, cam timing checked and valve clearance adjusted. A successful compression check completed the preparatory work and after three decades, this wonderful Miura P400 was finally allowed to stretch its legs again. The MOT inspection in December 2019 to acquire a Veteran status was a mere formality. To provide the new owner with a fresh MOT, the inspection has been done again in July 2020. This remarkable Chassis #3604 is now on the market once again and provides a rare chance to acquire one of the «lost Miura» in outstanding condition, its original colour combination, matchng numbers and only 33'000 km driven. Deutsch: Wie Kopien der damaligen Kaufverträge zeigen, wurde dieser herrliche Miura als Neuwagen am 16. Juli 1968 durch die Garage Foitek an den Unternehmer und Autoliebhaber Otto Wild in der aktuellen Farbkombination "blu Miura" und "Skai senape" ausgeliefert. Ein interessanter Vertragsbestandteil war, dass Foitek sich verpflichtete, den P400 nach einem Jahr für CHF 45'000.- zurück zu nehmen, falls der Miura in einwandfreiem Zustand sei und weniger als 10'000 km gefahren hat. Diese Klausel wurde von Wild genutzt, welcher den Wagen im März 1969 beim Kauf eines Miura P400 S für die vereinbarte Summe in Zahlung gab. Ebenfalls im März 1969 verkaufte die Garage Foitek den Miura #3604 mit gerade einmal 4'300 gefahrenen Kilometern unter Inzahlungnahme eines Ferrari 330 GT an einen Unternehmer aus Biel, dieser liess den Wagen gegen Aufpreis auf grün metallic umlackieren. Im Dezember 1972 wurde der P400 - nun zum dritten Mal, mit einem erneuten Farbwechsel auf Gelb und mit ca. 32'000 km auf der Uhr - von der Garage Foitek verkauft. Anschliessend verschwand der Miura in einer Sammlung und galt für knapp vierzig Jahre als verschollen. Vor einigen Jahren wurde #3604 vom Einlieferer, immer noch in Gelb lackiert und mit nur wenigen hundert Kilometern mehr auf der Uhr, erworben. In der Folge liess
