Harry's Garage - Espada 50th anniversary Italian trip...

[P5BNij]

Always good to see the Espada being enjoyed... at around 16.00mins you'll see nineteen classic Lambos crowding round the pumps at a fuel stop...!

When you consider how many cars (and bikes) he owns it's nice to know the Espada gets some serious use on these long trips. Harry's mention of the electric power steering he had fitted reminded me I took these on the firm's stand at the NEC last year, I couldn't take my eyes off it, it's just the right side of bonkers...





I sometimes wish Lamborghini would revisit the concept but it would probably turn out to be much bigger, taller and fatter. There's a RHD Series 3 for sale at the moment, it's ex-Cheshire Classic Cars stock I believe, who've recently gone into administration. Asking price is £85-90k, if I was brave enough I'd find a way to fund it..!

Harry enjoying himself, the rotter...

Harry has taken the Espada back to Iain Tyrrell's workshop (where he originally bought it from) to have the engine rebuilt, he's done a three part video on it so far...

After seeing those lovely restored pictures, it was interesting to stumble upon this: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1970-lamborghi...

I mean, even Edd China would struggle...there are some proper structural challenges there which would require the services of a blow torch.

That's some find - a RHD SII, let's hope some brave soul manages to save it. As bad as that scuttle panel and roof are, I'd like to think it is definitely salvageable.
