Vehicle Description
Rare and Original 1974 Lamborghini Espada Series III: 1 of Only 55
Produced with a Factory Automatic Gearbox This incredibly rare
factory optioned automatic Espada Series III is a highly
undisturbed example, with a condition which leads us to believe
that the 33,000 miles shown is correct from new. White with Black
and Red interior. Just 55 examples were equipped from Lamborghini
with the Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Offered with
tools, a jack, and the matching spare. The car is exceptionally
solid, straight, and appears to retain much of its original paint,
which is in very good condition. Period typical pin striping paint
has been added in black, red, and silver, which contrasts nicely to
the white background and further accentuates the Espadas outrageous
lines. The interior has been partially re-trimmed in high quality
leather and makes a very smart presentation. The original mouse
hair dash material remains, further complementing the undisturbed
nature of this particular example. The carpets have also been
replaced with correct wool material, and are excellent. The engine
bay, impressive and complex in nature, is reasonably well detailed,
appears largely original in equipment, and very dry. The car starts
easily and drives well, with the confidence inspiring feel of a
never disassembled car. The steering, suspension, and braking
systems are all functioning well. This Espada boasts a rare
automatic transmission, altogether appropriate for Grand Touring
automobile today, as stop and go traffic is even more of a reality
now than it was during the 1970s. As well as being 1 of 55 Espadas
built with an automatic gearbox, it's also quite rare to find such
a well maintained and structurally solid example of these
impressive grand tourers. As a very late production example, this
car benefits from the many small improvements made during the
production cycle. The Espada represents outstanding value when
compared to Ferraris of the era, and in many ways, is a more well
appointed and impressive car. At the very least, the Espada
provides for an interesting conversation topic, and makes a
statement of uniqueness on arrival. -1 of just 55 examples ever
produced with an automatic gearbox -Accompanied by tools, jack, and
matching spare -Highly desirable and collectible Series III Espada
