Espada The Recently Remembered Super saloon!
Discussion
Well then! Taking the hint from the other thread lets see your cars then!
I have a Series III , which was one of the 54 autos, now covered to manual.
There were about 6 RHD autos in the UK although i know there about 5-6 in Australia. I don't know how many of those were originally in the UK. At that time Portmans had the world wide franchise for RHD lambs so notionally they all came through them,
I picked up my car from Colin Clarke in late October after the work. He deals with or sees most of the ones in the UK. His guess about 35 around just now and about 50 left here although many coming out of hiding as values go up.
The restoration problem with Espadas is that the engine gearbox is the same to restore as a Countach or Muira; twice times the body work and three times the interior.
Hopefully we can do the same as we are achieving on the Countach thread and avoid the Ferrari chat issues: Pedantic detail issues; Slagging off cars; talking about values and sales all the time.
