Bearing the name of the torero, is the Espada to be interpreted as the Lamborghini to end all Lamborghinis? To us, it just seems like a Jarama that likes to party. And drive people to parties. It does have room for two behind the front seats, after all.

We have a suspicion that the more traditional bodystyle of the Espada made for more straightforward assembly than was the case for the Miura. And, given Lamborghini's difficulty in meeting Miura demand at the time, it's conceivable that many parties interested in Miuras made it out of the sales office with an Espada instead.

1971 Lamborghini Espada Coupe this is one of the most original Lambo's you will ever find. The car is all original and has 9,229 original miles. The car has been off the road since 1976. The car was purchased and cleaned up no paint or body work was performed. The car does run very well all the Webber carbs have been rebuilt. The car will need brake and clutch work to be an everyday driver.

if you have any questions please give me a call 9016520106 thanks AL

No need to tiptoe around the fact that this car has sat since 1976; hibernation is essential in some species, but 43 years is pushing it. Everything will require attention on this car, although the seller does mention that the car runs very well with its rebuilt Webers, no small feat on a 6-carb mill. Fortunately, the seller has also taken the liberty to clean up the car, and the result is really impressive - more of a barn find than a case of neglect, for sure.

Sometimes project cars present the opportunity for the dedicated tinkerers among us to get into something we might otherwise be priced out of. In this case, the cost of refreshing this Espada might very well exceed the cost of purchasing one in a more drivable state. Espada experts: please prove us wrong, and enjoy the project!
