Description:


This is the one! The 4 seater Lambo!
It runs great and with some work to the interior, it can be an excellent example of the genre. The most important thing is that this amazing engine is in excellent running condition and produces mad power. The car has virtually no rust. There are no significant scratches or dings in the body. The 5 speed shifts smoothly. It's a fantastic drivers car. The Espada is continuing to gain in value as these 12 cylinder beauties take their place alongside such other Lamborghini classics like the Miura. This car is a Series 3, the most advanced version available.
Background:
The car was designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone. Gandini drew inspiration and cues from two of his Bertone show cars from 1967, the Lamborghini Marzal and the Jaguar Piraña.[1]
Rear viewThe Espada was a four-seater GT, selling alongside the 2+2 400GT and the mid-engined Miura. 1217 Espadas were made, making it the most successful Lamborghini model until the expansion of Countachproduction in the mid-1980s.
The name Espada means sword in Spanish, referring to the sword that the Torero uses to kill the bull in the Corrida.
During its ten years in production the car underwent some changes, and three different series were produced. These were the S1 (1968–1970), the S2 (1970–1972) and the S3 (1972–1978). Each model featured interior redesigns, while only minor details were changed on the exterior.
The Espada used a monocoque steel body. Suspension was fully independent, with double wishbones, coil springs, hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars.four wheel disc brakes Twin fuel tanks held 95 l (25 US gal) of gasoline; the fuel cap was hidden behind a black cosmetic grille in the C-pillar, one of Gandini's signature touches.
