The Bertone-designed Lamborghini Espada (Sword) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 1968. The Series III started production in 1972 with a redesigned dash panel for better driver ergonomics. Production of the Espada ended in 1978.

This early 1975 Series III Espada was completed at the Lamborghini plant in Sant'Agata, Bolognese to American specs and delivered new to Carrie Auto in Canada on May 14, 1975. The included Lamborghini Certificato d'origine document shows the vehicle returned to Automobili Lamborghini Centro di Restauro in Sant'Agata Bologense in 2003 for a complete restoration. A December 2003 Technical Inspection report from Lamborghini further indicates that the car is a numbers-matching car in its original colors and was owned by the, soon to be, Prime Minister of Kuwait.

The exterior Oro Metallizzato (gold metallic) paintwork is in beautiful condition, and the wonderful Senape (mustard) interior matches that condition and confirms the car has been garaged without use since the restoration.

The V-12 engine mated to the TorqueFlite transmission is a rarer find and offers the next caretaker ample Lamborghini power and smooth shifting, along with room for four.

This elegant Espada presents nicely throughout and will turn many heads for the new owner.
