[@RestorationObsession]

That car has one of the sweetest looking headliners I think I've ever seen. I love that interior!!!!

[@centerforupperbackpainreli9928]

Agree with a super 70’s look to it

[@tunethetoy7225]

Very wholesome seeing these more obscure classics getting a little bit of love, the Espada certainly has a distinct shape which fits its name pretty well 😄

[@jareknowak8712]

It only means that soon they will be much more expensive. Is it good or bad - depends if You have one already, or You are planing to buy it.

[@BigNews2021]

How can anyone call the 308 "ugly"? This thing is gorgeous

[@vanceshaw3675]

Especially compared to modern cars….

[@danwebd4481]

in real life yes, somehow it never captures on film or camera , it's angles are great

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

Harry’s garage showed me how lovely this car is

[@ovenorway]

BNM LKN I think Harry alone has doubled the price of these cars.

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

Magnus just brought Hagerty to a different level!

Hagerty is bringing itself to a whole other level by producing the best car content of KZbin by bringing all the good folks and journalists. It’s sublime

[@nathanwabre]

[@chadsimmons6347]

Magnus is a bad-ass, would he trade a few 911's for an old Ferraria or Lambo? I would!

[@rjnation5042]

Magnus, the Espada is an icon of '70's style, have owned 2 so far still got one, it's one of my favourite cars gets lots of attention anywhere you take it & is a complete joy to drive & own, Rj in Oz

[@ericsevern]

One story is: Bertone took this design to their regular customer Lamborghini and, as Lamborghini turned it into the Urraco, they changed it too much for Bertone’s taste, so Bertone then pitched it to Ferrari who felt that it was time to replace the 246 and implemented it as is. Both the Urraco and 308GT4 are lovely designs.

[@grahamlawton6250]

Love the GT4 as a Dino and looks even better with Euro bumpers. What a car! The wedge shape is awesome and I agree that this and the Esprit S1 (still my GOAT) still have a effect on me. I too was a young child of the 70’s. The music in this episode was epic! Please share it somewhere. 🙂

[@mrhappyherb8431]

Hagerty is quickly becoming my second favorite car related channel after RegularCarReviews!

[@adamhopchop6224]

There's not enough BBBRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNN

[@andrewstubbings5628]

Growing up my Father bought a 75 GT4 in 76, it was such a fantastic car to drive, I got to drive it when 17 and it felt amazing, he was an ex fighter pilot and a brilliant driver who pushed it to its limits, Kevin O Rooke bought it and made it immaculate, but don’t big it up too much or the price will go up and won’t be able to afford one!! 😂👍👍

[@DT-of5qq]

In the 70s there was a businessman who owned a gold Espada and a purple 308 gt4 in Singapore. Beautiful cars.

[@jd-py5nm]

My first ride in a Ferrari was a 308GT4 what an underappreciated car

[@512bb]

I was a kid in the 70s, growing up in up state NY so seeing a exotic in person was a rarity, however my best friends father had a Espada so already a car nut I got my first supercar ride when I was 15 & I never forgot it. I love , love, love the Espada!!!! And the GT4 Dino is a beauty as well, no matter what the detractors say. Thank you for the great episode. BTW I think the Espada is a bit like the Testarossa, they are cars far more impressive in person, pictures just don't do them justice.

[@CountSarpulus]

Love this new Hagerty content but I think a more honest title for this show would’ve been “You Missed The Boat 20 Years Ago” 😜

[@joshuafuller9898]

At least they found two of the anchors.😁

[@andybroer651]

1975 308GT4 in the same blue was my first Ferrari - keep it forever, it was and IS a great little car. Bought mine in 1995 and car has tripled in value. Love it.

[@davidcordes9283]

Love the Bladerunner soundtrack on the Espada opening

[@ILoveItLoud96]

The Espada is my all time favourite Lamborghini. Great video!!

[@Rgh71fish]

Mine too👍

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

I'll take a 400GT over an Espada.

[@Jacks_vert]

that’s kinda sad

[@andybroer651]

Loved this episode! Bertone cars are amazing to me. Love these both as well as my ALFA GTV2000 and GTV2.5/V6! Not sure if you've done videos on those, I'll go look.

[@TheShadowKarl]

The Lamborghini Espada is a really beautiful car. Both are fun to see but that Espada really is head turner. I love the wood dash inside and the seating looks really good too. I'm a huge fan of the green they selected for the exterior too. This is such an awesome new series of videos. I hope this continues for years to come.

[@erikberg8098]

Interesting & engaging host. Thoughtful and interesting guests. Cool classics that are quirky, off-beat, & lesser known. Great camerawork and a soundtrack straight from Vangelis. These Hagerty videos, especially with Magnus & Camissa, are just excellent! Great work!

[@austinwrighteous]

Beautifully shot, wonderful music, loved it!

[@giantrobot9000]

I’ve loved both of these cars for years, the Espada ever since I was a young boy and there was a picture of a green one in a book I had. I love the oddball, unsung cars that you don’t see all the time.

[@mrawesome2524]

FANTASTIC show!!!!!! OMG this is a great format for a car show, Magnus is outstanding please make more of these!!

[@vitovitale9867]

Espada series 2 just like the one we bought in Rome in 1982. Ours also was originally green but then resprayed bright red! If you think they turn heads now driving one in 1982 in NYC was crazy stopping traffic or school buses of kids who wanted to sit in it and when you raised the huge hood and showed them the engine their jaws would drop!

[@crhvideo]

I am with the owner here, I like the design of the 308GT4. The only thing I would consider improving is replacing the US bumpers with the Euro ones. Thank you for a great video!

[@salvatoredipietro7174]

Great video Magnus - and great concept : the next big thing. Love it

[@shingoose6197]

Two of my absolute favourite cars! What an episode! Also, a correction: when Ferrari was doing moreso coach built cars, plenty of design houses were commissioned to design bodies. But in terms of catalogue cars, until recently all if the cars were designed by Pininfarina.

[@BillyJeans653]

Love the Headliner and Interior! Love the lines on this Car.

[@MrTurboRotary]

Great car report and details! Thank you👍

Both wild older italians and we are pleased. Magnus is great of course so a big thank you to hagarty. Ooozing character sums it up best

Seems like the Australian Ford XA-XC coupes took a leaf out of the Espada design book.

[@mcgirtICreality]

Love this series!

[@andrew8896]

Great video, and nice to see the Lamborghini Espada getting some well deserved respect! The Lamborghini Club America has hundreds of Espada owners in the club, I will pass the link on to them, and they will be proud to watch!

[@KarolMiklas]

I swear these videos are one of the best car cinematography on youtube.

[@RichardM740]

the last Espada I saw in person was navy with magnolia leather and a webasto sunroof... Still one of the most spectacular Espadas I've ever seen but let's face it, they're all spectacular. I wish Lamborghini had kept the Espada evolving right through to today.

[@sergetardif9596]

I’m still wondering what the Espada’s V12 sounds like. I did hear the synth music though .

[@stefanconradsson]

Head on over to Tyrrell's Classic Workshop. Cheers 🍺

[@drumtum]

The first time i saw the Espada was on television in the 80´s. Maybe from Flatfoot from 1973. It was just fantastic!

[@bryanbusch6419]

The LAYSPYP plate is something I'd expect to see more on a bagged GTI but its hilarious regardless

[@anthonygordon14]

Prices for these cars here in Australia took off probably 5 or more years ago. They are alrrady becoming or have become the next bit thing. Especially the Espada. Such nice cars. :-)

[@solidsnake3861]

great show and Magnus is the man

[@keithsclassicgarage1133]

I had a 308gt4. Everyone picked on the fact that it wasen't a real Ferrari. It was a cool car.

[@blueridgegarage]

When only electric cars can be bought new, and the only way to get something to enjoy is to get a used car, this Espada will be unattainable....

[@justins21482]

Buy your classic now then. As soon as possible. Personally im really excited for the electric revolution just to say we are officially in the future assuming that having flat-screen and tvs pretty much everywhere. Classic gas powered cars won't likely ever go away. Even a 100 yrs from now someone will have in their possession a gas powered car from waaay back in the day and who knows if they can drive it on public roads, im sure there will be ways to enjoy your things

[@justins21482]

Although to be fair, in 100 yrs l, virtual reality and computer tech will be so ridiculously good that you could peob drive any car yoy wanted with full fidelity with sights smells noises and feelings accurate. So there will be no reason for actual experiences in the far future. When an "actual" experience can be had in digital form. Pretty interesting to ponder.

[@blueridgegarage]

@@justins21482 I'm more concerned with buying fuel in the future. All these "green plans" are to limit oil extraction and processing. With electric revolution we will not need petrol based products. I know Porsche is trying to create a safe 0 or near 0 emissions fuel for all the cars- they are into preserving the history. Hopefully they team with Mobil and we can still drive our ICE classic in the future. I'm not opposing the electrification, but I'm 100% against speeding up the process, since that would imply artificially increasing gasoline prices to force everyone to buy new electric cars. That along with stricter emissions, to where we cannot register the classics- California is one state where by 2030 the emissions are supposed to be that strict that no cars older than late 2000's could stay registered. Hope not, but my hope isn't part of that "green new deal". Then I have my personal confusion in which classics do I want to own... and how many do I want to own.... Dillemas....

[@blueridgegarage]

@@justins21482 interesting or scary? Or both? We can be owned by computers... because that's a fear ever since Terminator movies era... and Elon Musk is skeptical about how much power do we give technology. It's all helpful now, but this can easily turn around and bite us

[@Humbulla93]

@@blueridgegarage well you´ll always need petrol based products, think of plastics, lubrication, drugs, detergends, and i see it as you let the market decide which car they want because the better technology will be more profitable

[@stevenjackson8226]

Love both cars, especially the 308 GT4. The early ones are quite lightweight, and with the Euro-spec dry sump engine can be great to drive. LOVE the original period green and blue color combo of the Espada.

[@timgosling6189]

None of the gt4s were dry sump, just European and UK carb GTBs. Also, all gt4s for a given market weighed the same throughout their production, but US cars were heavier due to the massive federalised extended bumper mounts. There is no difference in performance between wet and dry sumped engines. Despite the wet sump the 308 gt4 is great on track and many are still raced in classic series. The sump is heavily baffled and designed not to suffer from oil starvation in cornering or acceleration.

[@gungfuriceboy]

Magnus...i believe the Next Big Thing...will be the Ferrari Mondial! Cheers from Canada!

[@philipheijnen]

check the spring/damper set up on the espada. It seems the car is pitching a lot. Maybe rear dampers are finished, or the springs slightly too soft.

[@ErikFvonHausen]

What an amazing film!

[@MojoMan17]

I actually love the 308gt4… such a well balanced design… the espada like the marzal was a spaceship when i was a kid

[@YvesDumoulin-rn8qx]

I have both: a blue GT4 bought 16 years ago, and a green Espada bought 3 years ago. I had not heard about this video 😂 Don’t know if they are the next big thing but they are both great fun - and great Gandini design pieces!

[@KittenMcGray]

Hi Magnus. I share you're Philosophie about cars and love The next big thing. Me, myself was infected with the petrolheads buzz at early age, my dad drove some off those type of cars. I for instance love the Espada much more then any other Lamborghini, maybe besides the LM200. My private car is a Daimler Double Six (the equivalent of the Jaguar XJ 12) Though for everyday trips i own an Alfa Romeo Stelvio

[@oohmeconkers1968]

This guy sums up classic cars and ownership perfectly. Buy what you like, use it, experience it and most of all enjoy it. I just cannot see the point in buying a car and just looking at it, the car suffers from lack of use and the owner is terrified of it devaluing.. There are loads of truly affordable classics, it doesn’t have to be a Ferrari or Lambo. Go for it! The Espada for me, so much character and that engine!!

[@stuffhappens5681]

There are definitely shadows of the Lancia Stratos in the Ferrari 308 GT/4. I’m old enough to remember when the Lamborghini lineup was the Miura, Jarama, Espada, and Uracco. The Countach redefined Lamborghini similar to how the 911 defined Porsche. It’s fine but also pigeonholes them into sort of a typecast they can never break out of.

[@justins21482]

If we are talking old school Lamborghini, I've always enjoyed as a side to the countach/diablo/etc, the Jalpa from the 80's. Man, magnus, would love to see your take on one of those. They looked much faster than they actually were hahah could use a modern touch!

[@gabrielulibarri9950]

You made a 15 min video feel like a 45 min show. Well done!

[@dougshaw2944]

Well son of a gun, I think that I recognize that Countach at ~45 seconds in. Is it the one that lives in Leadville? Originally sold in Beverly Hills, if I recall correctly. If not, guess there are 2 black and gold 5000 quattrovalvole's in the state. Either way, rad!

[@mickduffy]

Thank you Magnus!

[@danieleregoli812]

It's kind of crazy and slightly epiphanic that this video manages to encapsulate both my favourite Ferrari as well as my favourite Lamborghini. It's cathartic to feel my longings and desires somewhat justified by your refined conversation for the very first time in my life, after having been told forever and ever that I'm an unhappy weirdo!

[@jeffsloane8628]

I am in 100% agreement with the comments on both of these guys in regards to the 308 GT4. I feel the exact some things. Fiat's ownership of Ferrari is the reason Bertone did the design of the 308 GT4 Dino.

[@independentopinion6847]

[@jareknowak8712]

SAVE LANCIA!

[@dhmallet]

My brother had one of these back in the 70s, a Series 2 in Midnight Blue with matching interior. It was beautiful, stirring, and magnificent but my brother seemed to not not worry about the sorry state of the brakes. Somehow it was never crashed and ultimately traded for a Urraco P300.

[@giovannigallo8429]

These videos are great!

[@somebodysomeone8213]

The Espada, along with the Jensen Interceptor, Alfa Romeo Montreal and Aston Martin Lagonda are among my fave 70s cars

[@jrharryman32]

That Cisitalia at 3:55 might be one of the most beautiful cars ever.

[@biddlelove2135]

I remember in the 80s, you could get one for around 6 k, nobody wanted one and I thought they were ugly, now I think it's absolutely beautiful! For me it's a bit like the jaguar xjs in that when it came out no one really liked it, but now stunning. 🇬🇧🏁👍In my opinion

[@bruceplumley9559]

Since Lamborghini came out with their 350 GT in 1963 I've loved Bertone designed cars and had the pleasure of owning one back in 1968. The only Bertone designed Ferrari was the 308 GT4 but I understand it was originally designed by Bertone as a baby Lamborghini Urraco (which was not approved by Lamborghini) and the design was subsequently sold to Ferrari as their baby Dino 308 GT4. Lovely car! but so was the Bertone designed Urraco that would eventually be excepted by Lamborghini. I would love to own ether one of them, or both? You can see the similarities between the 1968 Bertone designed Espada and the 1967 Lamborghini Marsal, Which i believe Prince Rainier turned up in at the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix. what a absolutely Gorgeous car!
