1970 Lamborghini Espada série 2 For Sale by Auction
Chassis n° 8376
Engine n° 40552
- Meticulous presentation and regularly maintained
- In the same hands since 1990 !!
- Masterful and futuristic design
When it was launched at the Geneva Salon in 1968, the Lamborghini Espada created a real buzz. Derived from the spectacular Marzal that had been unveiled the previous year, the Espada was a four-seater designed by Marcello Gandino, fitted with a Giotto Bizzarrini engine. With such names involved, this was a truly noble machine.
Registered for the first time in 1970, our example, with manual gearbox, was originally an American car. It spent time in Michigan before the current owner acquired the car in an auction in Versailles in 1990. A letter from the previous American owner recounts the history of the car between 1970 and 1990. From this information we know that the car has had just four owners in its lifetime. This is backed up by the mileage, which stands at just 42, 000 miles from new, an important fact as the car still has its original engine. The odometer has been cleverly graduated in kilometres to make driving in Europe easier. There is a substantial file with the car with details of regular maintenance since 1990. Work carried out has included treatment of the box sections during the 1990s, to protect the car against corrosion, replacement of the clutch in 2010, and the fitting of a stainless steel exhaust from the manifold to the silencer. The front shock absorbers have recently been replaced. The air conditioning works and has been adapted to new gas. The car was repainted its original shade of grey in 2016. The original upholstery has been well looked after and has a lovely patina, which offers a tempting invitation to step inside and take to the wheel. Still in excellent overall condition today, this Espada, with known history, offers a wonderful opportunity for four passengers to travel in a top class GT, with its roomy interior and bewitching V12 engine.
130 000 - 160 000 €
