Espada thread

I disagree because #7293 was sold back in 2014 August at another currency exchange rate : USD 1.32 for 1 Euro, so it means for 162.500 Euro at that time... so lower to than 183.568 €... and it was a special Espada vs a standard one !

 

Not our fault the euro went in the tank ... so you're just arguing over currency fluctuations.

 

no, I'm just replacing with accuracy into the original context...

 

Both views can honestly be considered accurate which is why it's really just a case of currency fluctuation.

But more interesting is the story of that really wonderfull looking Espada at the Giro event that rumour has it sold for $200K. But was that euros or US dollars or did it even happen at all?

 

Which Espada exactly are you referring to Bob?

 

I believe it was a blue one but I have no chassis number.

 

if you mean that blue Espada...

it is now in the hand of German friend...

Luis was this your car?

 

No, mine was Grande Giro #082, driven by its Norwegian owner at the time.

Well I don't really know which car it was just the story/rumour from that event. If true that was the high water mark.

 

staatsof…you mentioned that you have relatives in Lodi...
I was told by the auction co.'s person on site that the Espada's carbs were rebuilt by the mayor of Lodi…

And today I found out that someone who co-moderates a Lamborghini website also lives in Lodi!

Perhaps it is him?

 

Thought this shot from April 2011 may inspire gatherings for later in the year

Indeed it is!. My god all of these years 30+ I've been driving exotic Italian cats in and out of Lodi and we've never crossed paths! We're in touch now though.

 

And here it is:

1973 Lamborghini Espada Series III 400GT

 

Was I right or was I right?

Looks pretty good all cleaned up. They won't pay the sales tax so they'll make a tidy sum on just, as it turns out, a very quick clean up.

Probably not fully sorted though.

 

This car did sell last autumn. And do NOT believe rumours of 200 dollars or euros......

 

Anybody know what's going on here?? Whose car is this?

Just a guess but it looks like SF Bay Area.

 

That is soooooo uncool.

 

Heartbreaking

 

I'll bet Bob Huber could make that good as new.

 

I'll be speaking to him today. I wonder if he already knows?

It's a very grainy photo but possible a SIII?

 

Any other hints?
