Interesting but Harry's Garage has spent some money on his with Iain Tyrell.
Remember seeing a similar one for sale probably 10 years ago for £15,000.

Been there done that, mine was a 74 though. Good luck with the sale, an interesting project.

I rather like the 'wraparound' dash of the S3 but prefer the Miura alloys on the S1 and S2.

The seats in the Espada are the same shape as those fitted to some Fiat Dino Coupes.

They are, and the Merak. Owned all three in the past, they all share quite a lot of bits .

Been thinking of consolidating my classics into a single car as they are jsut not getting used enough, budget would be about €100k but mate just posted this link, mad I know but if you're going to be mad might as well be stark raving mad

Well you will never know unless you try . Maybe see how the selling of some of your fleet goes, not sure about any tax or duty implications on one from the Netherlands. I would give it a go, stunning cars.

Importing from the EU to Ireland is good news, no import duty or VAT to pay unlike the UK.

The alternative would be the Fezza 365 GT4 2+2, 400 like Ewans, ermm I wonder if he would sell ;)

The 400 is lovely, but the Espada looked so different, lowest 4 seater coupe if I remember correctly.

Oh I'm liking that but I wonder if the colour change will affect its value would love to drive that around France.

I’d love an Espada. It was on my list for of purchases for 2023, but the DBS cropped up first.29C9CABA-151D-4051-86EC-0EB676471A37.jpeg

Nice. I had a DBS way back when they were cheap. I think it was £20k, from memory. Like many old cars, utter rubbish, but still excellent!
Check the prices now! For a nicely restored one you can add a nought on that figure. In fact there are several up at prices over £200k now. But at the big money, you want a V8 manual, not a V6 auto.
