Lamborghini Espada on Lamborghini's 50th Anniversary tour in Italy

[@jhoff563]

Harry, problems aside, thanks for using your car like it was intended.

[@howardmckenna]

My mum had a (much older) 'boyfriend' who had one of these. Same colour but with gold knock-off Campagnolo alloys. As a 10 year old boy I was totally smitten. It was the car that spurned my interest in all things automotive. Thank you Ferruccio, you are my hero.

[@kim007250]

Back in cold dark blighty so nice to see the blue skies and sun glinting off those classics

[@delazzuro]

1st car I ever worked on as an apprentice back in 1973..what an introduction of fire that was. Great video and content...thank you.

[@Westside7be]

espada S1 and 2 = most beautiful lamborghini ever. Luminor = one of my favorite watches ever. Tuscany roads= one of the most beautiful driving sceneries ever. What a life

[@MP-Fin]

Michael Tanghe yeah i was looking at the watch too, among the cars and the scenery...

[@wackyack3165]

Harry - can we please have a follow up video of the sorting out of the over-heating & fuel pump problems ??

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Good idea !

[@simes205]

Yes.

[@jo05dk]

I need to have an ending to this story too :)

[@wackyack3165]

Yes, I realise all this, but I was asking to see a video of the replacements.

[@abuhamza1970]

Excellent shout, would be interested to see if Harry goes down the waterless coolant alternative too to see if it’s worth the effort. Would appreciate an honest, trustworthy opinion rather than some slick-haired, shiny toothed salesman who’s on a retainer from the manufacturer.

[@karlisrubenis]

Watching this after your most recent post of the V12 going back in. It’s very refreshing to watch a car video where not everything is perfect and seeing some real life engine issues to overcome on a car trip

[@davidyates8880]

Harry, you've either got the patience of a saint, or hours of outtakes of you swearing at your Espada :) A great bit of KZbin as always.

[@tejastiger61]

Uncle Harry, Bless your overheating heart, thanks so very much for again letting us ride along on for most of us an adventure of a lifetime. If I am honest, which I offton fall well short, part of any Lambo tour of the old country must include standing partly by the side of the road(hood up,head down) now 5 or 6 sweating,scratching and staring well wishers alongside the sympathetic few, those that know and those that knew. Deep pockets are required when the Lambo lifestyle CC bill comes due.

[@JamesMinchew]

I've never seen a Miura on the road but I have seen an espada. It was Harry's on the A40. It put a big smile on my face.

[@b.eduardo5105]

A couple of my friends have miura's, beautiful cars. But often couped up in the garage, but they try and make it to a few shows each year!

[@hughtubecube]

By coincidence I was on a family holiday in Orvieto at the time of these rally’s passing through. It was only two years later or so that I discovered this video and recognised a relative of mine in the background! I didn’t know these models existed before (I was never really that interested in classic-era Lamborghini, I’m more of an Alfa guy in this era), but what a sight, and what an afternoon!

[@IanRMcAllister]

Lovely piece of documentary filmmaking - Thank You! Using the heater module to keep your old car cool - almost forgotten that trick. Used to use it a lot though on my first car, a Hillman Imp. Thanks for the memories.

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Wonderful to watch. Running in the heat with the heater on full blast took me back to the 70"s when my parents ran a Jenson interceptor with a tendancy to run " hot".

[@joshuarosen6242]

Lucky you. When I was a little boy in the 70s the Interceptor (which I still think is a great name) was my dream car. I've still never been in one.

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

This was really nostalgic! My father was fortunate he owned not one but two Espadas. A red S2 and a super beautiful navy blue S3 (Still one of my favourite cars to this day). Sadly I don't know what has become of them, so the end of the video was particularly bitter-sweet, I hope they're still of that number that are still used and loved today. But at the same time I couldn't help but laugh when the car kept breaking down, the old S2 was just as problematic! Brought back lots of memories of being stranded. 😂😅

[@erikvanname]

Harry, the production quality of your videos just gets better and better. Thanks for sharing all the first world problems your fleet gives you. It adds welcome dose of authenticity. Cheers from a fan in the USA.

[@ChoPi-Eww]

Even the sound of the horn is so classically Italian, beautiful music. Thank you for sharing, Harry!

[@frankchan5547]

Just catching up with older videos, and this reminded me of a road trip I did with my daughter just after one Christmas from Auckland to Wellington, some 650kms in an Alfa Romeo 166. I noticed the temperature gauge was a bit high before Christmas but no workshops could do anything and a bit of wishful thinking it would be ok. It was ok until we hit holiday traffic some 160 kms from home, we stopped a couple of times to allow it to cool and decided to make it to next town. So this video reminded me of the rather stressful trip, watching the temperature, turning on heater and windows down, hoping no damage to the engine. We decided to leave the car at the township and got Mrs to pick us up, return to Auckland and go again next day in the family car. Turned out issue was head gasket wasn't OEM so my garage paid for most of cost of replacement and fortunately no engine damage. Italian cars...

[@Super100MPH]

Thanks for posting. The Espada has always been one of my favourite cars.

[@marcushogan6613]

I was about to watch some supercar idiot put a hideous wrap on his Lamborghini Huracan but then this video popped up showing a real petrolhead driving a proper Lamborghini. Cheers Harry

[@Zuxeh]

Planning to say that for every upload, Marcus?

[@marcushogan6613]

Shane I was genuinely watching some guy trying to wrap his Urus to match his Huracan. Fucking awful stuff and the idiot hadn’t a clue

[@kerrymarshall2071]

hahahaha great to learn we think alike

[@ilya.b]

Why whould you watch that in the first place?

[@Zuxeh]

Gotcha, fair enough mate, I was just thinking thats quite a coincidence haha !

[@GadgetyMV]

"It's sort of the time to take up smoking, but I'm not going to. But this is what I should be doing, if I was a true Italian." Ha, ha, reminds of that Enzo Ferrari anecdote, about the Ferrari overheating every time it hit a city.

[@miguelalho8140]

" Christmas has come early for the guy who owns this petrol station " ahah spot on Harry

[@awannagannaful]

And Harry's Lambo mechanic :))))

[@acecarrera1]

That is priceless.

[@nathanc777]

He says "Christmas has come early..." A pretty common expression. No idea how you heard that.

[@miguelalho8140]

sorry , the word was early. Idk how i wrote home. Thanks for the correction !

[@Heatfarmer]

1968 and Espadas are never to be repeated!

[@MrBrianc1975]

Great trip in a fantastic car. The overheating quibbles add to that special Italian supercar owners experience! Well done for having so much patience. I'd have been doing a Basil Faulty with a Cypress tree branch!

[@Guireles2007]

Dear Harry, you truly are a man of PATIENCE, I guess love for this car has to do a lot with it.

[@incognito8219]

The best part about old Italian classic cars is that when it breaks down you get to soak up the sceneries 😀

[@nigelcnash]

As a lad I had some treasured bits of carbon I scrapped from the exhaust pipe of an Espada that was on display in Harrods, probably in about 1970. Beautiful car.

[@bellevue260]

Thank you Harry. I love that you use your car's!

[@mcd3379]

Love these videos of exotic / iconic cars touring through beautiful parts of Europe!

[@93455Driver]

So cool to see these cars being used as intended. Harry's insights and narration make for a great video whether things go to plan or not.

[@robt8620]

Those memories of sometimes having to nurse a car to its destination came back with this video.....Fuel evaporation in a V12 E-type on a hot summers day .. Fuel pump issues in a series 1 6cyl E-type while trying to get to the euro tunnel in france on time ...

[@tedtheturbot]

The temperature issue going over the pass is like that scene from Duel (1972) with I think Dennis Hopper..just needed an unhinged Italian truck driver following up the hill. Another good 'tea and cake' video, thanks Harry.

[@lesbrook]

Dennis Weaver I think.

[@theenglishman9596]

Correct.

Nice watch, harry. And espada truly is a gorgeous car. You are a very lucky man to have this car. The best.

[@erichakanson7010]

Part of the charm of owning vintage sports cars (especially vintage Italian sports cars) are the quirks and niggles and whatnot that come along with even the most sorted cars. It's great to see it in the hands of someone like Harry, who doesn't overreact or blow a fuse (pun intended) but simply takes it in stride. Besides if you are going to break down in a vintage Lamborghini, what better place to do it than down the road from the factory! As usual, fantastic video Harry! I love the Espada and it's great seeing it finally start to get the respect it deserves after being one of the most underappreciated cars (in design and performance) of it's era. Cheers mate!

[@micheltebraake7915]

Always nice to see your car trips, they are always special.

[@aqajahua]

Just amazing to find these videos made with these supercars! Warmest thanks to Harry. Lucky to find your channel!

[@johndearden7931]

The only time I have ever seen an Espada actually being driven on the road was at the old Piccadilly roundabout and it was Paul McCartney at the wheel!

[@robertrishel3685]

I remember the first time I saw one of these, I was traveling/vacationing with my parents in Europe and I walked up to one parked up on the street. My 11 year old boy sensibilities were just zapped! While it never replaced my early imprint from the 911, I think it’s a close second! Gorgeous GT car! Maybe the perfect classic Italian GT car.

[@allsearpw3829]

Hi , a great drive in your car Harry warts and all ,hope it feels better soon and thank you

[@GenaF]

I just love how laid back you are about a head gasket. 😆

[@LennyJohnson5]

The tension of running a classic car over any distance, especially up a hill in a hot climate, was captured beautifully by Harry's furrowed brow! The tip about using the heater brought it all back to me.... kids today don't know what it was like!! I think Colin Chapman stole some styling lines from the Espada for the Elite/Eclat/Excel models. There are a few surprising echoes from several angles.

[@carllynch8798]

Great to see that you drive your cars and not keep them locked up as just a investment ! Love the road trips you do ! Great vid as always

Love that he uses his cars, despite the value and rarity. Gives us a chance to see them. Saw a mint Maserati Khamsin in silver belting round Sloane Square once - made all the Porsche's and Ferraris look a bit tame and dull. Class.

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

That poor Espada 😅 At least she made it through on one leg lol. Don't know if you've ever seen the American Comedian Adam Carolla's Lamborghini Islero, it's a fine light shade of metallic blue, but I always pictured an Espada in that type of blue with a tan or cognac interior, and after all the overheating troubles your red one has had....if it's not the original red.... maybe consider a respray 😂 (joke, but man that Espada would look killer in something light metallic like that)

[@thenerdbane]

Oh, I feel the pain. My first car was a Mazda 929 HB, which had the same sort of headgasket issue. Exhaust would get into the coolant, and the engine would slowly but surely overheat. I had to develop all kinds of tricks to keep it going.

The replacement key barrel fitted to the Espada is the same as that fitted to the Fiat 124, so most probably closely related to your Fiat 131 key barrel!
