LAMBORGHINI ESPADA Series III, 1975 - Reg: KGV 926N
1227 total build of this model.
Only 55 automatics, and this is one of them. Left hand drive.
The Lamborghini Espada is a 4-seat grand touring coupé built by Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini between 1968 and 1978.
The car was designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone. Gandini drew inspiration and cues from two of his Bertone show cars from 1967, the Lamborghini Marzal and the Bertone Pirana.
The Espada S3 was launched in 1972.
With this revision, the interior now incorporated a redesigned aluminum-trimmed instrument panel that kept all instruments and most controls (including the radio) within easy reach of the driver.
Several exterior changes were also made. Newly designed wheels on five-stud hubs replaced the earlier knock-off wheels.
The 350 hp (261 kW; 355 PS) engine was carried over from the S2.
Power steering by ZF and air conditioning were now standard.
Spring and shock absorber tuning was altered slightly. In 1974, a Chrysler Torqueflite 3 speed automatic transmission became available as an option.[4]
From 1975, large impact bumpers had to be installed to meet United States safety requirements.
US emissions requirements also led to the factory adding a secondary air injection pump and special tuning of carburetors and the ignition system.
