About this car

The Espada was Lamborghini's four-seat grand tourer, and the Series III was the final iteration of a model that stayed in production from 1968 to 1978. It carries the 3,929 cc V12 up front and sends power to the rear wheels. Unusually for the period, this car has an automatic gearbox, rather than the usual manual.

This 1978 car is finished in Rosso with a tan leather interior and shows 44,700 miles. The page gives no registration, ownership history or power figure, so those details would need to be confirmed with the dealer.
