Lamborghini Espada 400 GT serie 2 V12 — 1971

• Zustand technisch

  The V12 engine has been started with a range of initial measures, but no full service has been carried out. It starts relatively easily but doesn’t run completely smoothly and has an exhaust system leak. With a thorough service, inspection, and proper review, the engine can likely regain the power and function it once had in its original state without needing a comprehensive rebuild. The gearbox and clutch feel surprisingly responsive given the long period of inactivity, but they also require a check-up and oil service. The entire braking system is in need of a renovation, as currently only the parking brake is functioning.

• Zustand Interieur

  The light-colored interior features good carpets and a nice headliner. The driver's seat is well-worn, with cracks in both the seams and cushion. The passenger seat also has a few cracked seams, as do the door panels. Together with the rear seat and the rest of the interior, they are in need of cleaning. In the trunk, there are carpets to fit, panels to glue, and some panels that have dried out and need attention. The original keys are missing, and a temporary ignition lock has been installed.

• Zustand Exterieur

  Repainted in the early eighties after the car was stolen. There are small bubbles above the driver's door due to the period-typical spray filler. The Campagnolo magnesium wheels are secured with a large center nut, and there were also stylish three-pronged wing nuts available. Two tools for the nuts are included. The right front wheel suffered a scratch during a move between two garages. The chrome and glass are in good condition, and there’s a nice period-appropriate two-row license plate at the back.

• Zustand gesamt

  With 1,217 units produced between 1968 and 1978, the model is still considered a successful mass-production venture from the brand at the time. The overall impression of this example is that it is a representative and interesting item with good potential and an intriguing provenance for a new owner.

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
