It's from a book I picked up at last year's Bicester Scramble for a fiver, 'Supercars Of The Seventies', as is the colour spread of your car. It's a compilation of road test reports from Motor magazine, other cars featured include the Espada, Urraco, Countach, Bora, Indy, Khamsin, Pantera, Alfa Montreal, Dino 246GT and 308GTB etc.P5BNij said:

Well at least my serial book buying has its uses. One more Richard Crump / Rob de la Rive Box Lamborghini book to come from Amazon and that's it, no more for a while!
A few more pics....
VB's smile says it all....
From a 1974 book, the title of which escapes me....
The fifth prototype Urraco P250 in period, it still has the headlamps set further back than the production cars which followed, this car also appears on the cover of the Osprey book by Jean-Francois Marchet....
At Lake Di Garda, 1976, one of the rare 2-litre P200s....

This one might get the emotions flowing too - Jilly Johnson with the yellow prototype Urraco at Earls Court in October '71, this was the fourth of the five prototypes used as a test mule by Bob Wallace....
The Countach has become a timeless classic that looks even better today,i wonder if she has stood the test of time as well 49 years later. Nice photo of Jilly. She was seen to grace the Lamborghini stand in 1971/72 and 73.
She was Jilly Gosden at this time, she later dated and married Brian Johnson (who drove an E type Jag).
I had the pleasure of transporting her on a couple of occassions and also ferried Brian's Jag about for him.
The Paul McCartney Espada was also a car I had the pleasure of driving.
Great photos. Please keep them coming.

Some fantastic photos there, thanks for posting those.
This thread prompted me to try to find out what happened to my old Espada, which I mentioned was sold to Malaysia. I didn't keep a note of the chassis number because that didn't really matter at that time. However thanks to the power of google I'm pretty sure it was this one.

Which then was re-imported and offered at CCA Auctions in Dec 2019

It didn't sell. I'm pretty sure it was my old one because the car was said to have been in Malaysia for about 20 years and it also had a little crease in the rear bumper in my old photos,, which seems to be there still. It was orangey red with black seats in my time.
I wonder what happened to the original wheels!
