Barn Find Barn Find Espada Not Touched For Over 30 Years
Discussion
As title says Lamborghini found in the Lake district after 30 years in barn, interesting story
on Jonny Smiths , "The Late Brake Show " video channel, Title "Barn Find Lamborghini Survivor-Abandoned 30 Years Ago"
Could be longer as he stated that it has been in the barn for four decades ,
Nice touch ,still has Portman rear window sticker.
Sorry haven't got a clue how to link .

That’s a crying shame.yellowtr said:
That's the car sold for £26,350 plus commission on "Collecting Cars" a couple of weeks ago ,one of two offered by the same owner ,the other being the brown automatic one.
Unless there are some serious hidden problems it looked worth saving,
Suppose to them it's worth more selling for parts than restoring it ,after all that's what they do.
Car 54 where are you said:
This car has a registration associated with a 1973 Porsche with a V5 last updated in 1996, according to the DVLA.
Yeah I checked that too, guess the owner transferred the numberplate when the Espada was stored. Perhaps there's a Porsche hidden elsewhere in the country too!
. He probably enjoys driving it too much....browngt3 said:
So you buy this at auction, what happens if the original owner pipes up after all these years to claim the car? I assume, due to the length of time passed, legal title passed to the barn owner..
If they have an address which in this case i doubt they would have to write warning of their intentions or put a ad in a local paper maybe,We assume the arrears that's mounted up plus the disappearance of the owner would be reason enough to give the title over.

am i the only cynical person thinking that it would be possible to use either sant'agata or whatever became of portman's records to trace the owner ?
odds on that the reg plate gives us their initials too
barn find and untraceable owner makes for a better auction story though
If Del Hopkins doesn’t know (see above), unlikely anyone else knows. odds on that the reg plate gives us their initials too

He kept what he could of the Portman records; the rest is in his head.
Sant’Agata records are genuinely very Italian.
