Lamborghini Miura SV 1971-1975

Miura SV the engine oil and the gearbox oil was finally separated, this made the use of specific oils possible for optimal lubrication in these areas, some SV’s even had dry-sump lubrication and a self-blocking differential, which was the only available option. This separate lubrication wasn’t introduced until late 1971, so the first Miura SV’s weren’t equiped with it, the ZF-self-blocking differential was stricly optional and was only installed on a few SV’s with features specified by the customer and only on the SV’s with dry-sump lubrication.
On the outside the most striking difference was the bulging of the rear wheel arches, they had to be widened by 13 cm because the Miura SV was fitted with the new Pirelli’s, the suspension geometry was changed from lower triangles to lower quadrilaterals, because of these new tires the track had to be widened which needed the wheelarches to be redesigned. The grill around the front headlamps was removed and the front air intakes were different, the interior was now upholstered in real leather which used to be leather-looking vynil on the earlier Miura’s, and the air-conditioning became standard too, finally.
