In 1963, Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company Automobili Lamborghini; he chose the Murciélago as the brand’s symbol—the legendary bull that survived a bullfight on October 5, 1879, after being struck 24 times with a lance, and was subsequently pardoned—a symbol of strength; moreover, the bull was his zodiac sign. That year, the development of sports cars began.

This beautiful 400 GT Espada from the second series—of which only 578 were built—was registered on July 1, 1970, and still features the highly sought-after Campagnolo rims with center-lock hubs, just like the legendary Lamborghini Miura. Little is known about the early history of this car. In 2016, the 350 PS 4-liter V12 engine underwent a complete overhaul—copies of the relevant documentation are available. The Espada was registered in Germany until 2018.

In October of that year, the Lamborghini was sold to Italy, where the bodywork was repainted by the specialists at Route da Sogno and the original interior was refurbished. In July 2021, after passing through the hands of another Italian owner, the elegant coupe was imported to Switzerland. The Espada is in very good condition, and its most recent vehicle inspection (MFK) as a classic car took place in December 2021.
