I"ve been checking the newstand daily for the new issue of C&SC for its Countach review, but when I finally found it, I found a bonus towards the back of the magazine.They did an article on six "millionaire" cars you can buy relatively cheap today, and what they would have cost new in today"s money.The cars tested were the "89 Bentley Turbo, "90 BMW 850i, "89 Porsche 928S4, "80 Aston Martin Lagonda, "82 Ferrari 400i, and the "75 Espada S3.Their favorite: the Espada.I loved this quote. "Just hearing the Espada"s siren wail across a fog-covered Rockingham is enough to seduce you: that it looks so good when it emerges from the haze is the icing on the cake.It"s the most exotic, heart- achingly desireable of the bunch.A car with this much soul seems a bargain at any cost - when that price is so tantalizingly within reach, it is almost impossible to resist." What is most amazing to me is the Espada was developed 10-20 years before the rest of the field.It truly was ahead of its time. Udo
