I am hoping to get information and publish a list and details of the 160 Espadas that were sold via the Uk. I am getting considerable assistance from people around the globe.

Any views as to how we can use this information on here?

Hi there

Thanks for that offer and will have to see how we get the data and what those who are principally responsible for it say. There were 160 cars sold by Lambo GB. Most won't have photos as so many were scrapped or disappeared.

once I hear from everyone, i will let you know.

One more for your list I had a manual S2 rhd car from about 95 to 2000. VHj 213 L orange with black interior
Engine rebuilt but body tatty
Sold to Malaysia circa 2000
Only old photos so none on computer but appeared in C&sc when the editor was considering what company classic
to buy
I loved that car!

Found some more Espadas for you from various places on the web. These aren't mine - if these belong to someone here and they object, let me know and I can edit and remove. Also, do say if they are yours!

Beige RHD Espada anyone: OLX195P just outside Heathmans (Exoticar) in Parsons Green in London in July 1992.



...and then in August 1992 same place 5803TW a red RHD Espada (was this on the cover of Supercar Classics Magazine), and I thought I'd leave in the Miura SV in RHD DRY976K, which was either uprated from a Miura S or converted from LHD to RHD and the Pantera.



Lots to get through.

I suspect this one is Champagne - a pale yellow

Favourite couple. Khamsin is an underestimated piece of 70s GT. And fairly reliable with all that Citroen gear in.

Forgive me if this has been seen - it's an old write up:
http://www.pistonheads.com/members/showcar.asp?car...

The Espada has been a favourite since I first saw one - mid 70s. Harry Metcalfe has a red one similar to the one posted.

It should be EPIC if Lamborghini considered to do a fourseater in a similar tradition.
