Description
Built in April 1972, this Series II Espada was finished in the stunning colour of Verde Pallido over a Senape leather interior.
Under the bonnet lay a 4.0-litre V-12 engine mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
Fitted with an imperial speedometer, and optional nuova sospensione , chassis 8726 was delivered to Modena Sports Cars in New York on 30 May before being sold to collector Jan Butts.
In March 1981, a previous Illinois title shows ownership had been transferred to Todd Butts, but the car remained in the family collection until 2006.
Acquired by its previous owner in November 2006 via Luxury Cars Los Gatos of California, the car was retained until early 2015 when it was bought by the consigning owner.
In their care, an engine rebuild was performed by Retro Sportiva in 2021, with invoices in excess of €60,000.
Today, this Espada Series II retains its factory-correct Verde Pallido over Senape colour scheme, along with its matching-numbers 4.0-litre V-12 engine.
