Espada thread

Thanks much, see some colors knew existed bur could not find relevant swatches. Looks like a real metal swatch in one of rhose pics. What year(s) is that applicable?

 

The first 5 photos should be S1-S2, the other (4) photos should be correct for S3.

 

Thank you very much! Sounds like you just have photos and not the actual pamphelets, correct?

 

I have the colour samples for the Espada S3.

 

Spotted a week ago in Chicago. I don’t remember ever seeing a yellow one before.

Yeah, looks a touch better in person, but it's not my favorite. A rosso S2 & blu S1 with Euro bumpers & Miura wheels will be available soon....

 

Did you also have a look for the chassis-no?

 

I do not.

 

So is that the later series 3 car?

it should have wider wheels and it is fitting 215/70VR15 CN12

Hello

Thought you would be interested.


Cheers

I love these things. Sniffing about for a Countach, but always wanted a Series 3, and one may turn up first.

 

FerrariDoc, keep your eyes on BAT as my Espada S3 will be going up soon!

 

Thanks rhyno, but the steering wheel's on the wrong side

 

That might be a issue lol

 

You should asked Iain Tyrrell if there is one available among his clients ???

Hi, new to this forum.

I have just bought my first Lamborghini, an Espada. I am a big fan of the 60s and 70s models. The car is being recommissioned. Can anyone help me with the history of my car?

RHD. UK registered 1978, (previously registered overseas), left the factory in Metallic Green, now Dark Blue.

UK registration TYV 936S
VIN 9706
Engine 41503

Any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks, Martin Redif

 

Thanks, Olivier. I can pester him about lots of things now!

 

I am looking for information about the original livery of the Espada 8400.
Any help is highly appreciated

 

Originally Lame Sky Bleu/Rosso Sc. on 18 June 1971 to Aldo Grossi, Bologna, Italy.

 

#8400:
"Sold new in Switzerland, this Series II Espada is finished in silver-grey with a re-trimmed interior featuring renewed headlining, door trim panels, carpets and Burgundy leather upholstery. Documents on file allow us to trace the car's history back to the early 1990s with the car being maintained in Lucerne, Switzerland in 1991-1992. By 1998 the car was in the UK and was purchased by Mr Anthony Steed at auction in August 1998. Invoices on file show a good deal of work was carried out 1998-1999 by Colin Clarke Engineering. By 2005 the car had made its way to France where the new owner repaired and restored the interior where necessary. Upon completion the car was sold by Bonhams to the current owner at our Monaco auction in 2007 (Lot 128), was reported to "benefit from considerable recent engine work and... a new exhaust". Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the UK V5 registration document; French Carte Grise; bills and other paperwork accumulated during the previous ownership. Stored since acquisition, the car will require re-commissioning before further use."

Hi Raymond,

Daniel

 

My Espada just got listed on BAT
check it out if your interested in a very nice example. Runs and drives great! Just had our second kid so have to sell some cars

You seem to have expensive kids
Congratulations for the second one.

 

Absolutely gorgeous. The black accents really pop against the white, which is one of my affinities - even the bumper treatments.
That TorqueFlite, though.....

 

Noooooo!!! Sell the kids / wife to keep the cars!!!

Congrats on the 2nd child, I would have thought the Espada would be a keeper as two baby seats in the back?
