What would you do if you stumbled upon a rare Lamborghini hidden away in the woods for almost three decades?
On top of that, the car has a fascinating backstory too.
Well, that would be a tale worth sharing with everyone, right?
One such car was housed in a secluded barn near Kendal in the Lake District, and it was kept hidden from the general public for three long decades.

Incredibly rare Lamborghini Espada sitting in a stone barn
The Late Brake Show had a similar story to share, and they covered the interesting tale of this Lamborghini Espada on their YouTube channel.
The car was stored by a landowner who had been paid for just a few months of storage by the vehicle’s owner.

However, one day, the owner suddenly disappeared, and the poor Lamborghini Espada was left to sit in the wild with years of rent accumulating.
Since then, the car has remained untouched, sharing the small space with other iconic models like the Vauxhall Cavalier and Calibra.
The car still seems restorable
This Lamborghini Espada is a British right-hand drive model, a rare gem with only 130 pieces ever made between 1968 and 1978.
Despite being abandoned for a long time, the car was still in a pretty decent shape — and could be recovered after an extensive restoration.

Known for its V12 engine, the Lamborghini Espada was once known for its speed and luxury, and it still remains an attraction for collectors.
The car was first introduced back in the late ’60s and could reach a top speed of around 155mph, which was quite fast at that time.
While the chances are slim, we hope the car will be claimed soon and once again shine on the road, just like in its glory days.
