  • Delivered new to Milan in July 1970
  • Retained by The Curated Collection since 2012, in which time it has been subject to cosmetic restoration

The Lamborghini Espada was introduced while the company was still under the ownership and control of its eponymous leader, Ferruccio Lamborghini. In production alongside the Islero and Miura, the Espada was the marque’s offering as a four-seater grand tourer with a signature Lamborghini twist. The sleek coupé’s svelte styling by Marcello Gandini at Bertone gave the Espada a distinctive profile, while its 3.9-litre V-12 engine—derived from the earlier 400 GT 2+2—meant it could keep up with contemporary supercar company. A revised Series II was revealed in 1970, showing a tweaked front grille design, with its engine uprated to 350 horsepower, and with numerous updates around the interior.

The Series II example offered here is recorded to have been delivered new via Lamborcar of Milan on 3 July 1970. The Espada was finished in Argento Metallizzato over a Nero interior, a colour combination the car retains to this day. While its subsequent history is not documented, the Lamborghini joined The Curated Collection in 2012. In the following years, the Espada was subject to around €50,000-worth of cosmetic restoration work completed by various Belgian bodyshops (invoices available to view on file). Representing a fascinating chapter of Lamborghini history, the Espada offers an enticing alternative to 1970s supercar ownership.

La Lamborghini Espada a été présentée quand l'entreprise était encore entre les mains et sous le contrôle de son créateur, Ferruccio Lamborghini. Produite parallèlement à l'Islero et la Miura, l'Espada était, dans la gamme du constructeur, une grande routière à quatre places typique de la personnalité de Lamborghini. Le dessin fluide de Marcello Gandini pour Bertone donnait à l'Espada un profil caractéristique, et son V12 de 3,9 litres — issu de la 400 GT 2+2 — lui permettait de tenir la dragée haute aux supercars de son époque. En 1970 est apparue une Série II avec une nouvelle calandre et un moteur de 350 ch, en plus de plusieurs modifications d'aménagement.

L'exemplaire de Série II présenté ici a été livré neuf le 3 juillet 1970 par l'intermédiaire de Lamborcar, de Milan. Cette Espada était alors "Argento Metallizzato" avec intérieur noir, une combinaison de couleurs qui est encore la sienne aujourd'hui. Son histoire n'est ensuite pas documentée, mais elle a rejoint en 2012 "The Curated Collection". Au cours des années qui ont suivi, elle a fait l'objet de travaux de restauration cosmétique dans divers ateliers belges, pour un total d'environ 50 000 € (factures consultables dans le dossier). Symbolisant un chapitre fascinant de l'histoire de Lamborghini, l'Espada représente une alternative séduisante aux supercars des années 70.
