I think the Espada is a very elegant and classy car. If I wasn't looking at a daily driver to replace my Audi (hence, the question about the Aston Martin V8..but don't tell anyone here..), I would probably go for another classic..and that would be an Espada
There are a few for sale in Europe now. They are reasonnably priced for now, but count on some engine work (I can give you Marcel's contact in Switzerland when you need it) and interior restoration... A well restored Espada is a lovely piece of Bourgeoisie If you find one, go for it !
