Hi,i just Bought One that was completely restored at the Factory in 1991-1992,but only driven 4000 kms since.The cost for the job at St Agata was close to 160.000USD in todays exhange rate.Unfortunaltely i blev a head gasket,and have to fix that.Have a friend that is an Expert on Lamborghini Espada(good to have)!Here in Sweden
Still,many cars are in a poor condition,and they are just as expensive to restore as any Lamborghini.The problem is tha they might have been bought cheap,and then not looked after by the owner-due to the high costs in parts and labour-if you dont know how to work on the car yourself.And that has given many of them a bad repurtation an sometimes a low value.A car in a wery good condidtion,or restored should be considerably more expensive than a car with a bad interior,defect gearbox,smoking engine-bad electrics
Bad suspension,rust and so on.So if you buy a Car for Lets say 15-20.000USD,you are probably just looking at the entrance fee.Pay more and get a good one.You deserve It.The Car Deserve It!
When they ar 100% working is it a fantastic car,and I predict that the value will go up on the good ones-but not on the "Bangers"
Below is a Picture of My Car in the Beginning of the 80ties White "Pimped"with Gold details"Now its in "Giallo Fly",but was originally Dark Brown Metallic when it was restored on the Factory,as it was the color it had New,with Interrior Senape.Also the right type of seats with the "holes".Regards Patrik Sweden
