I would probably choose the Urraco over all the above, though i really love all the cars mentioned above especially the Montreal..

This is the first of a multi-part series where Harry Metcalfe (automobile writer, farmer, vlogger) has his Espada V12 rebuilt by Iain Tyrell (another great vlogger!):

I didn't like them until I watched all the videos on Harry's Garage. I would totally take one. I think they are awesome now. I'm mean, sure there are better Lamborghinis... but the Espada would definitely be fun to have. I would not kick it out of bed.

I'm guilty (I guess along with others) thinking they would remain cheap forever. They are floating away from my reach, but will always be extremely fond of them.

Any of you guys or gals own one or have experience?



Im Quarter Italiano, and you have my blessing. Any Italian car is a beauty, the maint. is a beast. LOL! Good luck bambino!
