Johnny!! Can we talk about that "blue steel" stare from the hood of your charger! Zoolander would be proud, that was pretty epic! Great video Mate, the quality of your show just keeps improving, but totally love the fact that you are able to showcase the every-man's barn find next to millionaire's collections. You transcend car culture, keep representing!
Thank you for the comment. Yeah, this channel is all about automotive diversity, and enjoying the stories and what machines mean to people. Barnfinds are Jonny's favourite episodes to film, because it is chance for him to go full 'Attenborough/Theroux spec' with detail and automotive emotional attachment. There's plenty more BFs to come, rest assured.
Ah, 12:44 - that explains an awful lot. That distinguished and rather successful hotelier, Ivor Guest. Clearly had the means to afford an Espada, and then, abandon it!
I was viewing a property in northern Italy a few years ago, and the estate agent told us there was a Lamborghini in the barn that the owner was going to leave behind. He opened the barn door and - yes, you've guessed it - it was a tractor.
One of my mates grew up in Italy, and learnt to drive in his grandad's Lamborgini...tractor. Which is still pretty cool, I only got to go in Massy Fergusons.
I used to know of a large manor house that the owner, a very eccentric artist, had three Armstrong Siddlys in the garage and who gave up driving when he couldn't get some rare part for the last working one in the 80's. He was then driven about in a 60's air-cooled VW Pickup by his wife. The cars stayed in the garage until he died (about 6 years ago!) The family sold the house not long after. No idea what happened to the cars....
I remember 35+ years ago going past a posh house down a private road in Sussex and in the garage was a dust covered AC Cobra....on the drive was the daily drive a Gauntlet era Aston V8. I wasn't the least bit envious....
I love how those who've previously owned the car beam whilst they recall stories of owning it and driving it. Thats what classic cars do, transport you in more ways than one. Awesome
When he said the previous owner was Ivor Guest all that came to mind was. "Me, the 4th Viscount Wimbourne in a Lamborghini with Grace Jones, with my reputation?"...
I worked for Roy Jackson Moore from 1980 to 1986 and he regularly used this Espada to travel from his home in Beaconsfield to Aylesbury. He had a business producing audio cassettes back then and it was a regular driver. He leased a warehouse next door to the business and a door was knocked through. Inside the empty warehouse a guy (Phil) worked on restoring his collection of Austin 10's (he loaned me and my wife two of his immaculately restored cars for our wedding). The Espada went away for a while getting overhauled and I remember starting and driving it while working the nightshift with nobody around, keys were left in it - I was too young to think about the consequences driving up and down the road at 3am ! Roy also owned a dark blue Lamborghini Jalpa but the keys were never left in that one! He also had a Fiat X19 and loved his little two seater Lancia Montecarlo
Can you just imagine the excitement, in the future, of finding a 50 year old Tesla and getting it up and running? Nope. Me neither. The minute that V12 fired into life again... my heart skipped a few beats.
Last week it was Countryfile and History Walks with Tony Robinson. This week's opening Jonny proves he can do The Antiques Roadshow! Kudos Jonny! Legend! 😊
Could this possibly be the best episode ever? A splendid car and a splendid venue create the most delightful - and to some extend romantic - images. Well done Johnny. And you are humble enough to realise you are a very lucky man indeed. I am very jealous.
Tick, tick, effing tick. What a barn find. What this shows is Jonny is the dude to contact. From backyard home garage heros to super toffs. What's the common thread? Car guys. Also the amazing cinematography deserves a mention in dispatches. I'm speechless. Well Done!!
This was borderline perfection. I love the way true money has no airs or graces. When I was in the music biz in the back end of the '80's- early 90's there were some insane cars parked around my place in Beak Street Soho, our manager owned an F40, AN EFF FORTY!!!!!!. He regularly forgot where he'd parked it and would pay someone to walk around his usual haunts to find it, usually with an array of fines. Getting back to 'money' I met some wonderful people back then and I always found that the really properly beyond rich ones had nothing to prove, often drove an old mini or Land Rover but lived in a house just like this with a Camargue in the barn. They ALWAYS had a place in Scotland
Its a shame we cant find Guy Fawkes and revive him. 👍 What a great location and car, both are just beautiful. Thank you for taking us a long with you. 2x👍
The place, the history, the car, everything is of an incredible nostalgic quality. If I'm excited to hear that engine come alive, being there must have been quite an experience. Thank you for bringing us these gems of automotive history.
Whilst traveling in Umbria Italy, I came across the Lamborgini Vineyard, on entering we were met by an old man in dungarees. He was very chatty and in Italian enquired about us and what we were doing and other things. He then called someone on his mobile phone to meet us at the end of the drive. We proceeded and was met by a very smartly dress man, who told us in English that the motor museum was closed, but Mr Lamborgini had told him to open up and show us around. As per your video, Federico was an person of kindness and gentleness to us. Thank you. Graham
What a wonderful setting for a barn find episode. Actually, it's a pretty great setting for any event, truth be told. But yeah, nice to see the old girl running and 'driving'. Great episode, Jonny.
What a great video Jonny! And what a beautiful pair of Lamborghini’s. The story behind this barn find is amazing and she thoroughly deserves a rebuild and to see the open road again. I have an idea she will. Thank you Jonny. 😉👍
I used to live next to the Watford Gap service station mentioned in the Grace Jones story, so it brought a smile to me. Lovely Espada deserves a resto.
That was AMAZEBALLS! The filming, the passion, the reverence for the machine, the location, the machine itself..! And she only bloody drove around! Genuinely, can't stop grinning. Loved it!
Growing up, my neighbor had several Lamborghinis'. I rode in the Espada often as a 9 year old and the interior has always stuck in my mind! Super great memories those were!
The back story of this car is quite frankly amazing... the history, the feedback from previous owners is astonishing, and the celebrity and stateliness it was preserved, all the years since being driven on the road . But more than anything, this barn find has brought to the masses, what a 70's Lamborghini is all about. The smiles, adulation and raw passion from all you guys that turned the key and started this classic, to running this classic around that courtyard should bring raw emotion to all petrol heads and kids alike. Amazing!
I've only ever seen one Espada on the road - it was lime green and someone at the hotel (can't remember the name - it's a Raddision Blu now) at Golden Bay in Malta some time in the early 1970's. Utterly lovely - and it made a noise that really impressed me as a 12 year old!
Well that was wholesome and delightful! Is it the first Barn Find Drive? What a wonderful story. I feel like the edit could've been twice as long and just as watchable!
Amazing episode Johnny! ❤ "....yeah, they're pis.... yes they're leaking everywhere....." 😅 imagine the irony of burning Guy Fawkes office to the ground with a dodgy old Italian classic car inferno underneath it 🔥 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You have done so many good barn find shows, this is one of the best. It would be cool for you to do some follow-up videos on some of the barn finds to discover what happened to the cars after they were found. Have they been sold, restored, what happened next?
Wow, what a fantastic car! I think I have only ever seen one once. In 1971, when I was 12, my Dad took me to the International Trophy F1 race at Silverstone, in the days when there were non-championship races in the UK before the main European season started. Things were much more relaxed then, and anyone could wander round the paddock on the practice days, as cars were being prepared etc. I have a clear memory of standing watching the Lotus area, and seeing Emerson Fittipaldi (a Lotus driver that year) arrive in this wonderful outlandish Lamborghini, which I am fairly sure was an Espada. It seemed impossibly glamorous to a car mad younger me.
Thought you were going to open the door and Iain Tyrrell & Harry Metcalf were going to be driver and passenger. Not forgetting Craig and his sewing machine sorting out the stitching in the carpets!
To be invited to view a ‘Barn Find’ in such a wonderful setting….takes me back 37/40 years ago when I owned a restored an original Lotus Seven. The pain and anguish, jumping through hoops and setbacks then to the immense pleasure once completed. Loved cars all my life! You need space to even consider such an undertaking though!
Listening to Julian talk about owning that car and the joy it brought him won’t make sense to so many people. Fortunately the people who watch this channel will appreciate just how joyful it was. I hope he buys the car back and uses it 🥰
Hello Jonny Great video! I know Roy Jackson Moore's son and asked him about the Lambo. Roy died a few years ago but Jamie remembers it well. He told me that the the original engine was replaced with an engine from a car belonging to Prince Faisal who wrapped his Espada around a tree breaking it in two. I can put you in touch with Jamie if you like.. All the best!
what an eye-catching car the Espada is. And with a back story to boot. You keep on outdoing your vids Jonny, what next? keep em coming, we're hooked...
Best Barn Find Episode yet Johnny! Whst a backstory behind this Lambo and to hear former owners speak about their memories, i do hope Julian buys this car back.
Brilliant episode (again) Jonny, featuring possibly my favourite Lambo, the Espada (and one with a very colourful past). I haven't got crystal balls, but if you keep turning up Espadas I can see a 3-way crossover between you, Harry M and Iain Tyrrell (hint, hint ;))
@@TheLateBrakeShow Having now watched in full this was a truly great episode, thank you! All the best you deserve recognition for the work put into this.
OUTSTANDING! All this and Grace Jones too.... :) Imagine pulling into a servo and seeing Grace leaning on that car..... hahaha. (saw Grace live in the very early 80s in Sydney... fabulous!) There's a yellow one for sale in Perth WA (Australia)..... sadly Jonny I'll have to pass as it's an auto...... :) These 60s/70s supercars really are just so beautiful....... what happened? Sooo much fun. Thanks Jonny. :)
When Jonny rounded up the Video about the History of the Lamborghini, Healey, Grace Jones and Guy Fawkes, it just put a huge smile on my face.I love History and especially Guy Fawkes and Classic cars and the Land Speed Record. Who else didn't go YES! YES! YES! when the Lamborghini fired up, and they took it for a Drive, just absolutely Wonderful. Thank you Jonny and all the team involved in this Video, its so good for the soul, that enthusiasts care about Classic Cars. Just one of the Best videos Jonny has done, but its very hard to rate them all now, I can't wait for Jonny's Sunday Videos to drop, thank you Jonny. 👍😁👍
What a great episode ..... all that it needed was Grace to pop her head round the corner and ask if her car is ready yet😅😅😅 Amazing that it sprang into life and was able to do a couple of circuits. Very well produced, well done and good luck from Spain!!
The espada is an incredible spaceship from another planet! Lamborghini produced such wonderful & crazy machines Muira S, Contach LP 400S ! Shockingly fantastic! Thanks Jonny! 🙏🏽🌹
Oh hell yeah just epic, how terribly sad that such a wonderful car has been laid up for so long, glad to see it see the light of day again, hopefully it'll be out on the road again soon, I've had 2 Espada's over the years & still have one of them, truly a pleasure to drive regularly, Rj in Oz
This episode Totally blew me away! Must be the best Series of episodes on youtube. Loving the content, the calmness and the joy. Absolutely made my day. ❤ Lovely seeing Someone work on a car wearing the no time to die seamaster. 👍🏻
Brilliant episode and really makes you wonder what else is lurking in garages and barns around here! I've met Phil a few times - great bloke, but love the term "Espada pervert" 🤣
The first time I ever saw a Lamborghini Espada was in Melbourne City Centre, Australia.It was parked up in a small side street. I was in my mid 20's and thought it was something out of this world
Quite the most ‘hatstand’ episode so far. From the car’s epic back story and the then owner’s clear wish to buy it back, to the wonder of it starting, sounding surrweet and driving, not just in a car park, but there, at that house. Swoon! Go Jonny go
Hi Jonny, thanks you so much for the piece on the Espada (number 1 & 2). I owned a dark blue series 1 from 1982 to 1988 (best dashboard of them all). Sold it to a friend and bought a 3 liter Urraco that I still have. The Espada was stored in a barn due to not having a proper garage to store it in for a few years. The sound of the Espada was incredible, but the Urraco is 1000 pounds lighter and handles so well. Keep up the great work, your videos are priceless.
Wow! And there is a letter from the builder. That is the party piece that goes with that car. Iain needs to look over the car too. The can of hope and driving around the manor has to be an all time feat. Thanks Jonny. The video and Bentley and your car and the drone shots are super.
What a gorgeous episode! The Espada is really one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. My memory immediately jumps back to my childhood favorites, this being one of them, together with DeTomaso Pantera and closer to home, from affordsbility point of view, the Matra Bagheera... But this one, and especially the group of nutters who play around with this thing as if it were Playmobil, made my day!
Johnny!! Can we talk about that "blue steel" stare from the hood of your charger! Zoolander would be proud, that was pretty epic! Great video Mate, the quality of your show just keeps improving, but totally love the fact that you are able to showcase the every-man's barn find next to millionaire's collections.

I love how those who've previously owned the car beam whilst they recall stories of owning it and driving it. Thats what classic cars do, transport you in more ways than one. Awesome
Cars are more than metal boxes, that much we know. They are memory keepsakes.
What an amazing conversation with Julian on the phone, he needs that car back in his life 100%.
I thought the same, he still loves the car and I can't blame him, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Completely agree but he needs to give it to Iain Tyrrell restore back to original. This would look stunning back in its original colour😊
When he said the previous owner was Ivor Guest all that came to mind was.

It should go straight away to Iain Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, to get fully restored! - What a spectacular machine the Espada is - great video!

A new level of cool has emerged; driving an Espada with Grace Jones!!!!!!!!! That's unbeatable, hands down, the coolest thing EVER.
Wonderful stuff. Ivor Guest's anecdote about Grace Jones at Watford Gap Services made me chuckle :)
Jonny met Ivor later that day, as he decided to come and hear the Espada for himself. A really decent guy.

Of course this needs to go to Iain Tyrell. Jonny .. best ever for sure .. bravo 👏 for this
I suppose if you own an Espada you’re entitled to wear shoes like that.
Well done for bringing this one to light... You excelled yourself Jonny... This for me was the best Barn Find episode yet.
EV perv
Not that day...
@@TheLateBrakeShow lol.
Thank you to the owner who shared this car in this way with all of us. I really appriciate it. It is a marvel of design.
Ian Tyrrell (tyrrells classic workshop) would love this! Great video👍
An Espada always makes me smile. One of the first exotics I ever drooled over in person, so glamorous.
The espada is an incredible spaceship from another planet! Lamborghini produced such wonderful & crazy machines Muira S, Contach LP 400S ! Shockingly fantastic! Thanks Jonny! 🙏🏽🌹
Honestly the Guy Fawkes facts/location interested me more than the vehicle... and that's rare for me
This should be in the Barn Find playlist. Tried looking for it there and nearly went mad. Thanks.
Oh hell yeah just epic, how terribly sad that such a wonderful car has been laid up for so long, glad to see it see the light of day again, hopefully it'll be out on the road again soon, I've had 2 Espada's over the years & still have one of them, truly a pleasure to drive regularly, Rj in Oz
This episode Totally blew me away! Must be the best Series of episodes on youtube. Loving the content, the calmness and the joy. Absolutely made my day. ❤
Lovely seeing Someone work on a car wearing the no time to die seamaster. 👍🏻
Wow just blown away by this one, the providence is worth more with the car. Thanks Johnny!
Brilliant episode and really makes you wonder what else is lurking in garages and barns around here! I've met Phil a few times - great bloke, but love the term "Espada pervert" 🤣
These barn finds just get better and better keep them coming Johnny
The first time I ever saw a Lamborghini Espada was in Melbourne City Centre, Australia.It was parked up in a small side street. I was in my mid 20's and thought it was something out of this world
Quite the most ‘hatstand’ episode so far. From the car’s epic back story and the then owner’s clear wish to buy it back, to the wonder of it starting, sounding surrweet and driving, not just in a car park, but there, at that house. Swoon! Go Jonny go
Hi Jonny, thanks you so much for the piece on the Espada (number 1 & 2). I owned a dark blue series 1 from 1982 to 1988 (best dashboard of them all). Sold it to a friend and bought a 3 liter Urraco that I still have. The Espada was stored in a barn due to not having a proper garage to store it in for a few years. The sound of the Espada was incredible, but the Urraco is 1000 pounds lighter and handles so well.
Keep up the great work, your videos are priceless.
Best phone call ever with the old owner!
Wow! And there is a letter from the builder. That is the party piece that goes with that car. Iain needs to look over the car too. The can of hope and driving around the manor has to be an all time feat. Thanks Jonny. The video and Bentley and your car and the drone shots are super.
What a gorgeous episode! The Espada is really one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. My memory immediately jumps back to my childhood favorites, this being one of them, together with DeTomaso Pantera and closer to home, from affordsbility point of view, the Matra Bagheera... But this one, and especially the group of nutters who play around with this thing as if it were Playmobil, made my day!
