1972 Lamborghini Espada 400 GTE Coupe

This Lamborghini Espada is finished in silver over blue. It was produced in July of 1972 and delivered new to Lamborghini's official dealer in Vicenza, Italy. Its first owner, Dr. Francesco Maggia purchased the car on July 28th of 1972, and later exported it to the United States. It is believed that Mr. Bob Pond owned this car twice. Pond first sold it in late 1999 or early 2000 to Charles H. Taylor, of Rancho Palos Verde, California. Apparently, Mr. Pond missed the car, as he re-purchased it in December 2001, at a price of $30,000. When Mr. Pond purchased it for the second time, it had been given a slight cosmetic upgrade, including new magnesium wheels, a new coat of paint in the original color, new carpeting, a re-trimmed leather interior, and a new Ansa exhaust system. While in Mr. Pond's care for the second time, he put just over 1,000 additional kilometers on its odometer, which currently shows just over 47,000 kilometers.
