[VintageLambo] Re: Espada S1 chassis plate

Yes, it was the car at Fantasy Junction.I was showing someone some Lambos on eBay, and there it was with what I thought was a low "buy it now", so in a moment of weakness, I bought it sight unseen. That is cool that it is so early a car.The person who was selling it claims he owned it since 1979.It has wire wheels.The previous owner says they were on the car when he bought it.Don"t know if it was ordered that way.The previous owner also was involved with the Lambo Owners Club and left me a large stack of old club magazines from the 80"s and 90"s, along with a few spares - used but servicable cap, rotor, and points, and a brand new set of taillights.The car needs a lot of work, but if it is one of the first ten made, perhaps I"ll fix it up.
