1969 Lamborghini Espada – Jay Leno’s Garage


After 30 years of ownership and one mechanical rebuild, Jay gives his 1969 Lamborghini Espada a cosmetic restoration and is ready to show you why this car was once known as the Italian Rolls Royce.

  1. Ferrari makes a four seater like this today. And if someone told me to buy a new Ferrari at gun point (not the worst situation) I’d get that one, the gtc4 lusso

  2. As the sign said in Some Like It Hot, "Friends of Italian Opera." That is a true and quintessential beauty of a car.

  3. Just drive away and you'll always be ok. Put me in the UGLY camp. There was one in the window of Tacoma Alpha for years and it always offended me. It recently dissapered I wonder if Jay has it now. I apreciate the car more now.

  4. The Espada is definitely one of the most beautiful cars ever built… I was on my way to work one morning and i saw one on the freeway so i followed it for an hour … needless to say i was late for 2hours getting to work…was it worth it …. Heck yah…I would do it again n again.

  5. You said giant Germans…. i’ve been laughing for 15 minutes straight all by myself. Superb
