€102,080 | Sold

  • From the collection of a Monegasque businessman
  • Monegasque registration document
  • Engine No. 41051
  • Superb overall condition, with original engine and color
  • Documented history and maintenance
  • A particularly enjoyable Series 3 to drive
  • No reserve

The current owner was captivated by this Lamborghini Espada because it was in above-average condition and had an impeccable service history. The accompanying documents show that it was delivered new on April 21, 1973, to an Italian owner, and subsequently had five owners. The fourth owner, a member of the Lamborghini Club de France, carried out major mechanical work, including an engine rebuild.

The file also contains a substantial collection of invoices, which we invite interested buyers to review to appreciate just how meticulously this car has been maintained throughout its life. This European-specification Espada is equipped with its original engine, and its color is the same "Blu Notte Metallizato" it wore when new. The interior is trimmed in black Alcantara which, while not matching the original specification, is very well executed and suits this luxury car perfectly.

The accompanying file contains the original Italian "libretto," dating from the period when the car was registered in Vicenza. An underrated model, the Lamborghini Espada combines all the nobility of the V12 engine designed by Giotto Bizzarrini with an elegant Bertone body capable of comfortably carrying four people.
