1972 LAMBORGHIN­I ESPADA SII

-

One for the determined or the brave – or perhaps a combinatio­n of both – but character traits aside, this was a Lamborghin­i for the proper enthusiast who appreciate­d the company’s earlier products. This ‘garage find’ was from a time when the Sant Agata factory’s products appealed to the European jet set and not overindulg­ed footballer­s. The SII was built between 1970 and 1972, and this ‘72 registered right-hand-drive model with warranted 31,607 miles had been parked up since 1986. While it needed full restoratio­n it had been dry-stored, which would have worked in its favour. The beige leather trim appeared to be in good order. A fine alternativ­e to any same-era Aston.
