[VintageLambo] Re: engine block number

Hi Udo! You will recall that we met at the car show in Scottsdale where I had my white Jalpo on display. I assume that the Espada is a recent purchase as I thought you said that you had an Islero? Anyway, I have a S1 Espada also which I have owned for 20 plus years. I have a copy of the original factory build sheet and here is the info which may help in sorting out your numbers. The build date is 17-12-68 Telaio tipo GT400 Matricola (number?) 7075 Motore tipo L400-4 posti Matricola 2634 Also written in is, as best I can make it out, 75030 Years ago Bob Wallace did some work for me and as I recall, he said that my car was about the 12th car built. I don"t know how he figured that out. We should get together and compare cars. I am entered in the Copperstate 1000 this year with the Espada. Bill Overhauser PS...I did a note to you a few days ago but it never showed up.
