Power came from Lamborghini's smooth, urable and powerful 3929cc 4-cam V-12. With fully independent suspension and a 5-speed gearbox it was a luxury gran turismo that equaled or bettered anything else on the market. Espada production ceased in 1978 after only 1,217 of these unique tourers had been built.

The Lamborghini displays just 32,000 actual miles which are said to be original by the previous owner. It is well preserved without corrosion issues or modification. Displaying a beautiful and fitting color combination, he interior's upholstery is original and intact showing a nice patina. Period radio, lass (with factory decals), rim and lenses appear original as well. The exterior cosmetics show a few blemishes but the overall look is very attractive, he Miura style Campagonolo gold wheels pair well to the ivory color scheme. An ideal driver or preservation class candidate, his particular car presents well for continued touring and casual use.

Espadas are often considered very practical classic Italian sports cars, enefiting from air-conditioning, ower windows, eather upholstery and the comfort of power steering.

A desirable and rarely seen Series II Espada.
