1973 Lamborghini Espada Series III for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1973 Lamborghini Espada Series III is a used car showing 40,720 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Verde Metallizzato with a Light green interior.

This Series III was sold new through Modena Car in New York and still has its original engine and its factory colours, the combination of Verde Metallizzato with Verde Chiaro, which a report by the Lamborghini historian Olivier Nameche documents.

Gallery Aaldering offers it as a project that runs and drives, not as a finished car: it is a starting point for a restoration rather than a car to use as it stands. The seller publishes no further description, and what can be seen in its photographs is an unrestored green car with a light green leather cabin and a wood-rimmed wheel.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Lamborghini Espada uses the 3,929 cc Lamborghini V12 derived from Giotto Bizzarrini's design, with two chain-driven overhead camshafts per bank and six Weber 40DCOE side-draught carburettors, rated at 350 PS (257 kW) at 7,500 rpm, with a Lamborghini-designed five-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, or from 1974 an optional three-speed Chrysler TorqueFlite automatic.
