I would totally daily this ratty Espada, I think they’re so cool. They aren’t even outrageous in good shape!

And those Campagnolo wheels, ugh! Love it. I miss my V12.

It’s the Oppo dream, brown, rear wheel drive, manual, and wagon (or close enough)
No diesel. Because V12 beats diesel every second, every minute, every hour, every day.

I always thought these were kind of ugly. And I recall that not that many years ago, these were selling in the $20,000 range.
At $170,000, that dealer selling it has been hitting the Crack Pipe hard.

Another polarizing car! I think they’re super cool.

These are either love it or hate it cars, I love them, they’ve always been my favorite Lamborghini.

Personally, I prefer the Eclat as far as awkward ‘70s 2+2s go:

Yuck. I don’t think the Lambo is awkward at all, the lines resolve nicely. The Elcat looks like the greenhouse should open up clamshell style, like a fighter jet.

Im unsure about these cars. However the front end kind of reminds me of the early seventies Mustang.

I think the swoop of the Espada’s rear windows is a little off, and the rear glass seems a bit too flat. I don’t think it’s ugly, but something feels a little not right about it.
I will say that either are better than the Eclat’s sibling, the Elite II:

Same! I think that’s probably a factor of why I bought one, haha

Totally agree. That thing is a day old bread van.

For a second I thought you bought an Espada, then I Oppo stalked you.

OH haha sorry, that was a misleading answer. But if it got you to read my other posts then I guess it worked? Haha

I saw a white espada and a white countach in convoy a few weeks ago. No SR20 because I was three lanes over merging onto a nother highway.
I lost my shit. Mostly at the Espada. So damn cool.
Harry Metcalfe has a very long video on his Espada. Including a long segment of nothing but glorious V12 noises as he drives around france. Check it out.
