Originally finished in Verde Pallido/Verde Scuro to Foitek in Zurich, Switzerland on 9 Mar 1970. Still beautifully finished in Verde Pallido but now with dark brown leather interior, this Series II Espada was delivered new to Switzerland to a well-known (and still existing) textile manufacturer in the Appenzell area. In 1978 the Lamborghini was imported into France but remained in the same company's ownership until 1988, when it was sold to its first private owner in Buxy, Burgundy. A subsequent owner from Nantes kept the Espada from circa 2008 to late 2013 when it was purchased by the current owner for his exclusive private collection in Germany via the well-respected Hamburg-based dealer, Eberhard Thiesen. In total more than €77,000 has been spent on this Espada since 2011 and we recommend close inspection of the history file. A brief summary of the works carried out and documented by invoices (some with pictures) is as follows: • Invoices (some of them for parts directly supplied by Lamborghini) in its early life • Some correspondence from the factory in 1988 suggesting that the car might have gone back to the factory for a service • Invoice from 2011 from a French carrosserie relating to the restoration of the car including a repaint of the inside and outside and engine compartment for a total of almost €22,000; restoration of the original leather interior with the Waterflow system for circa €4,400 (also in 2011) • While in the custody of the current owner: new tyres and sundry maintenance in October 2021 for circa €3,600; comprehensive carburettor and timing service in 2019 for more than €5,000 • In 2018 new air conditioning compressor, etc for €1,500; comprehensive mechanical service and repair for more than €32,000 in 2018 by well-respected Swiss specialists Graber Sportgarage in Toffen, Switzerland • In 2016 new correct ANSA exhaust, etc for €5,700 • In 2014 further invoices for €3,100 and circa € 6,400 (including the installation of power-assisted steering) Offered with 51,270 km at Bonham's Zoute Sale in Belgium on 9 Oct 2022.
