    1972 Lamborghini Espada 400 GTEThis is an original owner car, basically untouched with approximately 27,000 miles. It was shown at various Italian car shows on the East Coast, winning Best of Class and Show. Most recently, it was shown at the 2008 The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering in Carmel, Ca.

    Marcello Gandini of Bertone was asked to design and built a Gran Turismo based on the Marzal and Pirana showcars. This 2+2 car was suitable for long trips, with its short height and wide stance, 3.9-liter twelve-cylinder engine (capable of 325 horsepower), providing owner with a comfortable, yet powerful driving experience.

    The Series II, also referred to as the 400 GTE, had vented disc brakes on all four corners, an improved 350 horsepower engine and a modified dashboard. There were 1,217 examples produced, making it the most successful Lamborghini model up to that point. The Espada was a practical and civilized sports car.
