Lamborghini Espada Submodels
The Lamborghini Espada was the company's answer to the demand for a true 4-seat grand tourer. Styled by Marcello Gandini at Bertone and produced from 1968 to 1978, it packed a 3.9-liter V12 up front. Over its 10-year production run, 1,217 Espadas were built across three distinct series (S1, S2, and S3), each with its own refinements.
Collectors are drawn to the Espada for its unique combination of dramatic styling and V12 performance with room for 4 adults. It's a more usable and comfortable alternative to the Miura or Countach, offering a different kind of classic Lamborghini experience. With an average sale price around $108,000, the market recognizes its significance, but it remains a relative value compared to other V12 Lamborghinis from the era.
Buying Tips
- Inspect the chassis and body for rust, paying close attention to the sills, jacking points, and areas around the windshield and rear glass.
- Verify engine health with service records. The V12 is strong but expensive to fix, and proper carburetor synchronization is critical for performance.
- Test every electrical component. Finicky switches and slow power windows are common issues that can be tedious to sort out.
- Factor in the cost of interior restoration. Replacing large sections of leather and unique trim pieces is a very expensive process.
Prices range from $35,667 for projects to $235,000 for the best examples.
