Emilio, it was a great day, really. Fabio is very, very enthusiastic. He led us to the birthplace of Ferruccio which can be seen in the attached photo. In the picture you also will find a car which you know quite well... I am sorry for not having met you on Sunday (I only participated in the meeting on Sunday).

Emilio, I enjoyed having met Alex. He is a real Countach freak. His QV is immaculate. We will meet each other during one of the following meetings, I am sure.
VIN for this car is #7891 I dont know the present status of the car, but I found at least a trace. I recently got a copy of Quattroruote October 1970 in which a light blue Espada was tested, described as #7891 with engine #40313. Another (partially) solved mystery.
Anyone know the current whereabouts of my old Espada S1, 7162? According to Glen's registry, it went to Germany in 2004. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Last trace I have for this car is in March 2004 when it was for sale on ebay (in Los Angeles) , vehicle was returned before auction ending.
It was owned in Germany by Udo Schuelke. Sold in august 2003 on Ebay to someone in Los Angeles who specifically liked brown cars. Although not orginal, I have to admit that I like the wire rims. anything you can add to the history of this car IsleroMan? Ciao! Marcello
Actually, I'm Udo, and I owned it in Arizona back in 2002 or 2003. I bought it from Fantasy Junction (where the pics were taken) through an eBay auction. I had it for about 6 months, then sold it via eBay to a Hollywood producer/director/actor (I can't remember his name - I hadn't heard of him before) who like brown cars. He then sold it, again through eBay probably 6-12 mo later. That's when I heard it went to Germany.
I had never seen an Espada on Borranis and must say it is very interesting....by the way there was a yellow Espada at Le Mans Classic: was that actually a factory color? Best regards, Marc
Do you have any pictures of that yellow Espada? It's probably the same car which attended SpaItalia (see pictures in post #146). I believe the "light yellow" is a factory color; f.e. the Espada on cover of Osprey Autohistory has the same color. Image Unavailable, Please Login
My father ordered this car around 1971. Delivered in New York. Gold/VIP interior. Anyone know the wherabouts or how I could fine out if it still exists. No serial number! Marcello Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here's one from New York that's being rescued (I think). It has the VIP interior but it's white in these pictures. Bob S. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Aha, Hi Udo! Your German sounding name got me wrong, sorry. If if pops up here in Europe somewhere, I will let you know. Ciao! Marcello
Can someone identify this Espada? Is it the first one (gold) repainted, or another prototype? Could this be the same special blue color as the Miura Roadster (ex-ZN75) recently restored? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I don't know which chassis no is it, I'd like to know too (maybe 2nd or 3rd car?), but it's the same car that is in the first brochure, with different steering wheel (here, with the same steering of the Marzal and the Miura Roadster Bertone). I don't think it's the same color as the Roadster. The only other one that had this exact same color (with very deep metal flakes) is 7293, the one with the transparent roof, driven by Rainier and Grace, and exposed at Quail 2 week-end ago (same owner as the Roadster...).

Yes, At the former border of the DDR to be exact. About 900 km driven in one day to see some Lamborghini's.... But is was big fun! We lost one Countach during the day, what happened to Tom? Did he get shot by a frontier guard? Ciao! Marcello
Haven't heard from Tom yet... Either he had to go home, or he drove on an old landmine? Technically his Countach was in pretty good nick... But you never know what hits you next I guess. Was Denes there too, with the metallic red Countach?
Haha, no problem. My parents were from Germany, hence the name, but I was born in AZ. Do let me know if you find the car.
