I've seen one. It is a 'marmite' car. I personally love it because it's as daft as buggery. The interior on this one looks like a beautiful place to be. Tan animal arse on a red car is my idea of heaven. Good luck getting 43 grand for it in today's world. You could get one of each z for that (obviously in 'just' passing MOT state). I'd rather have a collection of reasonably sound Jap sport/tourers than a mad as a hatter Italian 'family' car (although it would be fun just to say, yeah, I had the Lambo for a bit...)

Yes I've seen one in the flesh in Silverstone Paddock. It was owned by Ulf Norinder a F5000 driver at the time.

It certainly 'looked the part' back then!

Spa 6 hours in '06 there was a guy who'd entered a Mustang.....yawn, yawn there must have been 5 or 6 running at least (and two Zs :)) but he'd come down all the way from Hull in his perfect Series II blue example. He said he'd needed to stretch it's legs and he'd given it some.......photos later !

I used to love the old Espada's when I was younger and still do as an early 30's guy. Fastest car in the world in its class for a very long time and also the the least desirable of the old Lambo's when I was a kid. I always dreamed of owning one as they were so relatively cheap awhile back but it seems that they have grown their own following and prices have subsequently skyrocketed!

Love it or hate it? I absolutely ******* adore it!

It was always the thinking man's Lambo! ;)
I remember an article in Autocar a few years ago about a guy who had chosen to opt out of the usual director's company 7 series or Merc and had used his car allowance to buy a restored Espada to use for his daily commute into the City...Being an older car, it was more tax efficient too and the tax he saved, paid for the increased fuel which the Espada drank !

I saw one a couple of years back, parked around the back of the Shelsley Walsh paddock.

If I remember this cracked me up as a few mins after I took some snaps of it there was a tannoy announcement "Will the owner of car reg *** 506R please shift their car off the exit road" :rofl:

I remember chatting to my Dad about this one, and he told me about the silver show car that he'd seen at the Motor show back in the late 60s - see link:

my mates dad used to have one. I remember following it down a long hill with flames flashing out of those four exhausts on the over run. His was silver with black leather.
