A 1973 Lamborghini Espada Series 3 Bertone unveiled the sensational Marzal concept at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show, the forerunner to the Espada, which debuted one year later at the 1968 Geneva Show. It was the first genuine production four seat Lamborghini and one of the most distinctive supercars of the 1960s. Named after the Spanish word for a matador`s sword, the Espada`s styling was heavily influenced by the Marzal, but it was equipped with the a much more powerful engine - the 4.0-litre, four-cam V12 engine debuted in the 400GT. It produced 325bhp, sufficient to propel the four-seater coupé to a top speed of 150mph (240km/h). Introduced in January 1970, the Series II cars benefitted from an extra 25bhp, raising the top speed to 250km/h, introducing an improved dashboard layout and the option of power assisted steering. The dashboard was revised yet again in late 1972 for the Series III, which also incorporated power steering as standard, improved brakes, minor suspension improvements and a restyled front grille. Espada production ceased in 1978 after 1,217 cars had been built. This example is a 1973 Series 3 model, chassis number `9006`, engine number `41018`. The vendor collected it from the factory himself on 19th April 1973, registering it originally in the UK before moving to Guernsey in 1978. It was used regularly over the following twenty-three years, by which time it had covered 71,598 km, which included many high speed tours across Europe. It was last taxed and used on the road in 1996, since when it has been parked undercover outdoors. It therefore requires complete restoration and is not currently in running order. Finished in the wonderfully period colour combination of light metallic green with tan leather interior, this stunning car represents a very rare opportunity to obtain a completely original, single owner 1970s Italian supercar in `barn find` condition. * Please note that the Espada is UK tax paid. It does not run and is not roadworthy. Martel Maides Auctions will require the car to be paid for in full and removed from the premises via a low loader, at the owner`s arrangement and expense, by Friday 7th December 2012.
