    Yes but inquiring viewers want know if this is the one that finally breaks out of the "Light Restoration" category ... LOL :D

    Like that pic. I've heard through the grapevine that Jay Leno has purchased another Espada. Possibly this one?

    I believe radios were dealer options , so no fatory only choice , but back seat speakers (voxson) were factory installed.
    My words is not law however as no conlusive Lamborghini factual proof on this .

    Yeah Laust that's the one as seen earlier in this thread.

    It's made the "right" rounds for show and restoration and looks like someone thought it was worth that price. Better go home and polish your now right? :D

    Last week i bought original rear speakers for my Espada.
    The brands name is "Autosonik". The seller told me that these are correct for Urraco and Espada. But it´s possible that they also fitted with Voxson.


    Voxson speakers were used on most Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin in this time.

    On S1 & S2 cars they don't show so what difference would it make?
    Does the brand of speaker show on S3 cars?

    I'm not a Series III guy so you should look in those cars and ask owners.
    I've never seen that in a S1 or S2 car as speakers, if present, are hidden behind generic grills.

    Don't take my word as the gospel either.

    Espada hiding under a tarpaulin in the new Royal Mail ad being aired in the UK at the moment.

    Only on screen for a fraction of a second. Around then 12 second mark in the video

    how very strange considering everything in film is fake and usually not accidental . for certain this was placed there to evoke something????? Shall we create a mystery here and have Espada gees the world over to begin speculating serial numbers etc , celebrity ownership ?? etc etc . LOL

    For but a handful of people on the planet it's just a dumpy old car with a neglected tarp over it. Perhaps representing the nobility's fading fortunes though that hit quite a while a go.

    I agree, this car is available for hire in UK.

    No need for speculation, serial number is well known and reported on ILR.
