The Espada featured a Marcello Gandini-designed body built by Bertone and debuted at the 1968 Geneva Motor Show. This example is said to have been previously finished in metallic light green Verde Pallido before it was repainted in its current Azzurro Metallizzato around 2011.

The Espada featured a Marcello Gandini-designed body built by Bertone and debuted at the 1968 Geneva Motor Show. This example is said to have been previously finished in metallic light green Verde Pallido before it was repainted in its current Azzurro Metallizzato around 2011. Features include polished stainless steel bumpers, a cross-hatch grille, twin NACA ducts on the hood, round side-marker lights, adjustable Vitaloni side mirrors, black belt-line moldings, louvered roof vents, a glass rear hatch, and a fixed glass tail panel above the taillights. Paint chips on the rocker panels are noted by the seller along with a paint crack on the nose and a scratch on the roof.
The 15″ Campagnolo magnesium wheels feature three-eared knock-off hubs and are mounted with 215/65 Falken Ziex tires. The car is fitted with front and rear sway bars. Stopping power is provided by Girling four-wheel disc brakes, and fresh brake fluid was added in March 2022. A fuel cell is fitted in the spare tire well beneath the cargo floor.
The cabin features front bucket seats that were reupholstered in black leather under previous ownership. A matching center console, door panels, and rear bucket seats are fitted along with tan carpets. Additional equipment includes power windows, a VDO quartz clock, and a wooden shift knob. The radio and dash-mounted turn signal indicator lights do not work, and the passenger window is said to be slow to operate. The driver’s seatback adjustment cap is missing.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a Series I-specific dashboard housing Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a 200-mph speedometer, a 10k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for water temperature, fuel level, oil temperature, amperage, and oil pressure. Wear on the instrument surround can be seen in the gallery. The five-digit odometer shows 45k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement fuel-injected Chevrolet V8 is said to feature a 5.0-liter block that was built to 5.7 liters before installation in the 1980s.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Borg-Warner five-speed manual gearbox that was installed under the seller’s ownership. A factory differential is retained. A replacement clutch and master cylinder were fitted in March 2022. Stainless steel mufflers were installed under previous ownership.
Included factory books and period literature can be seen in the gallery.
