Is that the same for the ball joints? All Jarama and all Espada joints/tie rods the same, correct?

 

yes correct

 

Sale pending.

" late example of the Series I Espada " Early would be more accurate.

" while the interior's upholstery is incredibly original"

What's that on the seats naugahyde and no perforations?
Very poor assembly on the front seats too.

An early car though with the front wind wing windows and I'm guessing no hydraulic lifts for the hatch window..

The front seat tracks are different than later cars - better than mine which rub on the upholstery. I wonder why they switched?

If this car gets a good restoration it should be a very nice S1 indeed. It looks reasonably complete.

 

Do you think that the price of the Espada will continue to climb?

 

I just got back the Espada from the spring service. I took this opportunity to go to Geneva by car and to put it in the traffic. Just like the Islero, not the single sign of overheating even in the big Geneva traffic jams, great!
What a fantastic car it is. It amazes me every time I drive it and I am looking forward to the good season.

Great picture, car looks a lot smaller amongst traffic.

 

Well it is an incredibly low car especially for a four seater.

 

Low but not that intimidating in town, because the overall visibility is very good.

 

Yes the visibility is very good but where I live (close in to NYC) it's terrifying to drive due to the congestion and idiot drivers. Everyone is a lot higher up off the ground too!

You also have power steering on yours right?

I've never parallel parked mine, not sure I even could?

Drives beautifully in the countryside ...

 

I'm happy to have contribute to #9034 is leaving Switzerland for Belgium... in one of our LCB members' hands

Olivier, where was this car located?
I didn't have that one in my registry.

 

it was residing in VEVEY with 2nd owner for last 22 years... 1st owner was a company in "Regenshorf"

 

Regensdorf, that's a Suburb of Zurich. Thanks for the info.

 

1st owner bought it from RUF dealer

 

Ah, Ruf from Oftringen, that dealership closed many years ago.

Nicely done car with a few liberties on originality taken but it "looks" like they went through everything.

We saw a few Espadas in that range or higher last year so it looks like a top flight restored Espada is now $185-200K?

Going to see my cars interior progress today.

Still looking for a hole punch for the backs of the front seats ...

 

That's 183,730.07 USD

 

Nice case of non-irony (see sign in background). Cheers.

 

$32,817

This was a $14-17K car last year.
