Buy This Classic 1973 Lamborghini Espada

One of 1217 Espadas Made, Early Series III with Power Steering, Air Conditioning and Wrap-Around Dash.
New Paint, Recent Service, V12 Engine Runs Great!

I am pleased to offer this 1973 Lamborghini Espada for sale. This is an early Series III so it includes the improvements over the Series I and II without the obnoxious and unsightly rubber bumpers. Lamborghini made just 1,217 Espadas from 1968-1978, with only 456 Series III cars made from 1973-1978. The series III cars had power steering and air conditioning standard, both which make for a more comfortable driving experience verses the earlier examples. The styling of the Espada is exciting and unique. If you are an enthusiast or collector of classic Lamborghinis, it is worth taking a closer look at this Lamborghini Espada.

This is a very clean example with 56k original miles. The exterior was repainted in the original color three years ago. The door jams are still in original paint and the color match is great. The interior is original and shows only minimal wear. If you haven't ever sat in one of these cars it is thrilling. The V12 engine pushes you back in your seat. The Espada uses the same V12 engine as the Lamborghini Countach and the sound of the engine is enough to make anyone smile.

Recent service includes a new clutch and a hydraulic system flush. This Espada is mechanically sound and needs nothing to be enjoyed. This is a car you can jump in and drive exactly as is. The body is nice and straight and the paint finish looks great.

Have a look through the nearly 300 photos in the photo gallery just below this written description. I have some video of this Lamborghini Espada running and driving so you can get a feel for the excitement one gets from seeing this car in person. Let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for checking out this 1973 Lamborghini Espada we have for sale!!

Is Lamborghini readying a hybrid for Paris?

Fri, 19 Sep 2014

Lamborghini had us seriously stumped when it released its teaser (above) for a new vehicle that'll debut at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. The image seemed to depict a fastback GT somewhat reminiscent of Lambo's earlier 2+2 models like the Espada, and was accompanied by the sentence, "Once perfection is achieved, you can just double it." We're still not entirely sure what the means, but a possible leaked logo for the car might offer some big hints about its powertrain.
According to the Office of Harmonization in the Internal Market in Europe, Lamborghini applied for a trademark on the name Asterion on September 15 to cover vehicles, clothing, toys and video games. The logo (right) included a lightning bolt slashing through the 'O' in the word. That could suggest this forthcoming vehicle is a hybrid, but it's also not clear whether we're going to be hearing about a pure concept, or a production model.
The name itself might also be a tell. Asterion is one of the names for the Minotaur in Greek mythology, which is a creature that is part bull and part man. This could be another indication that the concept combines the traditional Lamborghini style with something else.

Watch this Koenigsegg CCX hit 211 mph on a runway, outpacing McLaren's P1

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Vmax200 in in England organizes events where those who care to show up with a supercar can run them down the two-mile runway at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground. Evo attended the latest event, bringing an impressively green Lamborghini Aventador to test its girth and gaping vents against other precious metals like the McLaren P1 and F1, Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Enzo, a Porsche Carrera GT and enough 911 Turbos to start a dealership. Speaking of those Porsches, nine of the top ten slots in the top speed competition are claimed by modified 911 Turbos.
A monochrome Swede ruled them all, though, a black-and-white Koenigsegg CCX setting fire to the speed trap run after run, hitting 211 miles per hour at its quickest. It was followed by, surprise, a 911 GT2 modified by 9E that did 210 mph. You can watch the EVO video below, GT Spirit has a bigger breakdown of the day, and we've included another vid showing the tandem launch of the CCX and McLaren F1.

Bentley, Lamborghini consider foreign production [w/poll]

Fri, 14 Nov 2014

Would a Bentley be a Bentley if it weren't manufactured in Great Britain? Would a Lamborghini be a Lamborghini if it were built outside of Italy? It may be hard to say either way, but we might find out sooner than later, because the latest word coming in from Europe is that the Volkswagen Group is considering expanding production for both these upscale brands outside their traditional homes.
According to the Autovisie section of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, the issue for both automakers comes down to their ambitious expansion programs. Both Bentley and Lamborghini plan to launch new SUVs - the former's being well under way, the latter's still awaiting approval - that would expand their annual production considerably: by 50 percent in Bentley's case, and by as much as 100 percent in Lamborghini's.
For now, both marques intend to handle the added production with additional assembly lines at their current facilities in Crewe and Sant'Agata Bolognese, respectively. But both could soon outgrow their relatively small plants - and with the Volkswagen Group operating countless factories across Europe and around the world, it wouldn't be hard to see these manufacturers shifting excess production outside of their home countries.
