- Barn Find follow up - what happened to the Lamborghini Espada V12? Will it run?
Remember Jonny's most popular barn find on this channel thus far? Indeed, what did happen next to the mysterious Espada found in a real remote Cumbrian stone barn? Well, it was a story of many twists, and turns and if you are a top-tier Late Brake Show Patreon, you’ll have read our follow-up piece and seen this video months ago.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
In this follow-up video Jonny attends the Espada’s sale auction and we see it find a new owner who cracked straight on with getting the car roadworthy again after more than 30 years. If you haven't watched the original video then go here first: • Barn find Lamborghini ...
This barn find has got to be the single-most emailed and DM’d feature we’ve ever done. From various people getting involved in who owns the cars, to people wanting to buy them, to people claiming to own them, but don’t… It was a crazy few weeks after this aired.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

New owner seems like a stand-up bloke. Glad he got it. Would love to see more follow-ups from the other barn finds.
We promise to revisit more. ✊🏽
@@TheLateBrakeShow How about a round up episode where you briefly revisit several cars all in one.
Iain Tyrrell is the man when it comes to Lambos.
You could do a joint video.
@@antonhoward9027 great idea
Iain is my friend
Absolutely
Just as well it was a reasonable price as 25% commission is absolutely outrageous.
$6250 to do their research, promotion, maybe approach known buyers, handle the car on site, etc, etc.
Compared to a Veyron oil change it's not that awful for the service rendered.
If it were only eBay, sight unseen, no auction master's eye involved, yeah 25% would be steep.
Presented with all that bird poo, I would probably charge similar.
This is because for some reason the owner decided to put the car up for sale in a low value auction, if he had put it in a car auction the commission would be much lower, around 15%.
@@Cloxxki yeah 50% of hammer price including vendor commission and vat for washing the car and listing it is very reasonable
Outrageous 🤣
You certainly spoil us Jonny. Love this kind of bonus content. Such a great looking car especially in white and love the navy interior. Big congratulations to Mike for being the new custodian. Can't wait for part 3...😁
Cheers for the comment Chris. Yes, I think the car will be on the road by the end of the year. Exciting to see it get another shot at life.
It passed it's mot in august, so it's running and back on the road. Well done Mike you took a chance and it's worked out.
If I was the owner, I would start with a conversation with Iain Tyrell - even if I could not afford to go down the route of a full restoration in his shop, I would at least find out the key things to look for before recommissioning as his experience in putting bodges right on this particular model is probably 2nd to none in the UK
Agree. Tyrell is The Man!
Defo but i doubt hed help out without being paid somewhat
@@Zxr750Nick he's a racist wanker and Harry's Espada is smoking badly.
Exactly what I was thinking
Yeah, but even getting him to look over it and give an opinion on what it needs isn't likely to be as straightforward as you'd think. Any successful classic specialist won't give you time of day if you just turn up with your car. I'd expect Tyrell would want it booked in for an evaluation when the workshop has availability which is likely to be weeks, if not months from now.
That's a proper bargain, that was full risk value and sounds like it is in pretty good shape. Having bought a barn find that looked terrible after 30 years and then finding out it was basically new condition under all the rubbish, these risks are worth taking if they are already priced in like this.
Huge thanks to Michael for the video at the end - I am getting even more excited about the car and I probably won't ever see it in person!
Seeing the lights work and hearing it turn over freely just gets the blood pumping. It's like you can feel the beast under the hood waiting to roar back to life.
Wow, it's basically a steal for 31000 pounds... an ultra-rare Lambo for the price of a new Suzuki!
It's really good to hear news about the car, and to see it went to a good owner. May he have much fun with it, and take care of this rare beauty for many more years! :)
Barn Find Series just levelled up!!
I live in Cumbria and I was at a car show near Penrith in May. Ive only just stumbled across this video tonight at 11pm. At this car show was a white Lamborghini Espada! Same car, same owner! I’m glad it’s stayed in the local area and used (albeit with some patina) and not hidden in some climate controlled garage! Brilliant story!
Couldn't have gone to a better person from what we are seeing! The best thing being that it went to someone local! Fantastic!!
Thanks so much for letting us know what happened to the owl Espada, Rj in Oz
Mr Smith, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy your videos. There is nothing on TV or on the inter web that comes close to delivering this level of informative and enjoyable content. Thank you!👍🏻
I didn't think I was ever going to get to see what happened to this car. What a treat. Stellar petrolhead content.
Many thanks John. We intend to do BFF (Barn Find Follow-ups) on our episodes where possible.
This barn find vid was the one that made me discover your channel, nice to see a follow up.
Welcome 👍🏽
Just imagine driving that on a sunny spring morning with some Led Zep in the background!! Perfect. Yeah baby yeah!!
Genuinely don’t think there’s a better owner for this car. So pleased it’s staying in Cumbria, too!
Thanks for making that video, it was great to see what's been happening to the car and even better to see that it's been bought by someone who will take care of it and actually use it - not just over restore it and stick it in a "collection"
Pleasure.
@@TheLateBrakeShow how come there are four-month-old comments on a video you've only just uploaded and had no views showing when I opened it?
@@richardharrold9736 probably released to patreon members earlier
I'll never complain about estate agents charging 1% commission ever again! 25% for doing what exactly! Good luck to the new owner, I hope he has a smooth ride with the engine. What a find.
It’s excellent someone who will appreciate it and possibly restore it
So glad you were able to chat to the new owner. Hope you’re able to catch up again!
Excellent the Espada has gone to a genuine enthusiast.
25% commission ...wow that's insane.
Great to see Barn Find follow-ups like this. Hopefully there will be more to come.
25%, that's theft.
Absolutely one of my favorites! I used to ride in my neighbors Espada when I was 9 years old! Great memories of that car!
Saw this at Dalemain WMC Classic Car Show, was certainly running there as it was parked behind my car!
Thanks for the update, what a back story.... seems like it's found a good home. Good to see hear it spinning over. Hope you get to drive it soon Jonny. You are part of the back story now. Perhaps it will make an appearance at the show. That would be special
This will be on display on Sunday at the Retro Rides Gathering.
Great story, Preservation rather than restoration, that's the way to go.
Very exciting. Please keep us updated
All the very best to the new owner. Great to see that the Lamborghini will stay in the UK, and we will see the end result in the near future, can't wait! 👍😀👍
Three things surprised me in this video. 1: why run this through a general auction rather than somewhere like Mathewsons. 2: 5% premium for online bids! 3: How well those carpets came up!
Wonderful story. So glad the new owner is going to enjoy it as is. Jonny should be proud of himself.
Amazed this didn't go through a specialist classic auction where it could have made double the price. But happy for the local chap who bought it seems a decent bloke who will enjoy the resto & driving this classic.
What a bargain. Clean it up , fix the rust spots , mechanicals , and drive it.
Great video Jonny. The Lambo has found the perfect owner. Mike has definitely made the right decision to just get it back on the road and not pull it apart. Can't wait to see it run 😎👍
What a great buy at 31k. Congratulations to the new owner . Love the video Jonny.
Bargain, but it was a risk. I nearly went for it...
@@TheLateBrakeShow you should have done! Imagine the content you could have made from it, and the clicks you'd have got from a suitably bait-y title - I Bought The World's Cheapest Lamborghini (Non-Runner, Dodgy Fraudster Past)... basically set yourself up as a British Hoovie!
It was super value even to throw 30-35k at it . It’s a fantastic car for the money .
What a steal for such a rare exotic beauty
Yay!! It came to my local garage the other day had a good talk with the new owner top bloke👍 let me climb all over it take pics etc! Great to see it on the road and staying in Cumbria
Geat vid Johnny 👍 hope you do the follow up!!
is it already on the road then?
@@barrybark3995 yes sounding awesome and is cleaned up v.well has had wheels re-painted in the same silver but paint work is as was just polished up looks good, he had spent alot of time under the bonnet tidy up & replacing/repair looks really good 👍
I’m looking forward to seeing the updates to this wonderful car
Yes yes and yes.....fortune favours the brave! brilliant stuff.
well done to the new owner, I think he's made a very wise purchase here, this seems like an excellent starting point for a resto
Saw it at the dalemain classic car show August 21st this year. It drove there!!
Can,t believe this was,nt offered at a specific classic car auction where it would probably have gone for more but well done the bloke who did get it! Surprised top Lambo specialist Iain Tyrell was,nt involved.
Perfect buyer....hopefully he gets its up and on the road....hopefully you get to revisit it.
Sounds like a top bloke that bought it, cannot wait for the next installment!
Fab story, look forward to the next update. 😊
Great stuff. He’s done well there.
I love the idea of getting it road worthy and running it as it is. The new owner is lucky it was entered into a general auction rather than a specialist classic car sale. He got a bargain!
Great to see a follow up to the Espada. Would love to see a follow up to the barn find Volvo estate.
I may be driving the Volvo soon
You mean the one Bryn bought? It’s been treated just how it should be 👌
This is just too cool! Many thanks & full appreciation to the new owner Mike, for being willing to share his experiences with the car. It is amazing that it is staying local to the area. I can’t wait for the next chapter when hopefully we’ll all hear it run.
If that had been in the USA it would have sold for far more. Glad to see it sold to someone who cared enough to be there on the day.
As much as I would love to see it restored , I quite like the idea of a "Hubnut lambo". Run as is. I believe Harry Metcalfes engine rebuild from Iain Tyrells was around the £40,000 mark which is terrifying. He could literally put in the next silverstone auction and make a handsome profit with better exposure. Cant wait to see the next part. Well done Jonny knocked it out of the park again sir .👍👍👏👏
Same. An unrestored exotic almost seems cooler than a restored one.
Love this story, finding it, the new owner and getting it going, really looking forward to seeing the next chapter thanks for sharing
I love a good story, beginning, middle and the finale. Well done Mr Smith.
Absolutely love it and this is why I keep coming back to this channel! Keep up the good work Jonny!!
The Espada has to be one of the best proper GT's of that era! A true pan European driver, with the luggage capacity to match! At that price Mike has himself a bargain. Thank for the update Jonny.
Amazing car and great to get to follow it's resurection! Loving this!
Absolutely brilliant Jonny, so grateful for the follow up and looking forward to you filming the first drive. TLBS, as always an upload worth waiting for!! Cheers.
I love this video. Amazing Jonny. Keep us posted.
Cleans up nicely. Can't wait for another follow-up. Thanks so much!
Superb Jonny you should do more follow ups love seeing what happens to them. Great stuff keep up the good work 👍
Awesome to see a follow up! Good luck with it Mike! It's gone to a good home, love the Toyotas next to it 👌👍
Awesome that it went to someone who is going to enjoy it as a car. All too many vehicles like this get bought by folks just looking to make a buck.
Great update, amazing how much better she looks in the daylight after a clean! As others have said, it'd be nice to see other follow ups on the barn find series. Roll on part 3!
Living... Breathing... LOVE it!
Wonderful to watch the next chapter!
Very cool that you’ve done this follow up. Absolutely love TLBS channel.
I just don't understand why the car didn't go up for auction at premium car auction, he would pay a lower commission and possibly sell the car for a much higher value.
But I was happy with the owner that the car received, in one of those big auctions it would be bought by a collector and disappear.
Sick. Sneaky c35 laurel and MK3 supra on the drive too. Someone's got great taste in cars.
Thanks for bringing us the follow-up vid, Jonny! A great car, fabulous story and fitting outcome! Your enthusiasm for the subject really makes the story come alive!
Thank you for the update. So nice to see the car has gone to an enthusiast and will live on. Keep up then good work Jonny and TLBS team.
Thanks for the update on this one, really great
Well done Mike 👍 and thanks for letting us have a look.
This is brilliant, so good to keep the story going and what luck that it's been bought by someone who was happy to go on camera too. Nice work!
Brilliant, glad you've managed to follow it up. Look fowrard to the third installment!
Great update Jonny, so nice to see a really great car find a new home with someone that truly loves it, also interesting to hear the tail of the plate, because I checked from the last vlog I saw and it didn't tally up, so now we know.
Brilliant! Look forward to seeing it back on the road
Brilliant, that seems like a good price to me! Can't wait to hear it running. Thanks for a great vid Jonny and Mike.
Wow! The story continues! So glad to see the Lambo is going to live on, looked like a right shed in the barn but even after a wash you can see the potential! Can’t wait to see/hear it running & driving!
Another scoop for The Late Brake Show!!
Nice one Jonny, keep em coming!👍😊👏👏👏❤️
Fantastic to see the car again. What a great guy the new owner is😊
Looking forward to seeing the next step of this car’s journey on another episode 👌👌
Thanks for the update on the Lamborghini Espada looking foward to more updates on this car
Great episode Jonny, looking forward to more of this amazing car.
Such a good episode (2 of 4 hopefully ) well done Jonny and team making this happen.
Awesome too see the car stay local. Thanks for the follow up video.👍👍
What a cool story! 😄
Marvellous outcome!
Great to see a follow up video! Awesome video as always Johnny. I'd love to see an update on some of the other barn finds like the SD1 and the Allegro ss as well if possible👍👍😎
Amazed that it was sold though a back street auction house and not a specialist. Hence why he got it for £31k. Good on him and cant wait to see the updates.
This is great news. Looking forward to hearing this running.
What a story. A wonderful film. Fantastic work ❤. As always 🥇
Better than most Friday night TV Jonny. Cheers.
So glad that the new owner is happy to share his enjoyment of the car with us.
It should be interesting to watch the developments as more of the history is discovered.
Great video, really nice to see a follow up. The very best of luck to Mike, can't wait for the next instalment.
Compression and cylinders sound good while he’s turning it over. A fairly smooth rotation.
Jonny your videos are game changers, thank you for sharing your passion. You could tell Mike (the new owner) that I can help with the Italian just in case he finds that difficult
Just great to see it out of the barn and clearly going to someone who is going to care for it and is kind enough to bring us along on the journey. Thank you Michael.
Take Care Stay Safe Everyone Regards Dave 👍😎🏴
Loved the video Jonny 👍.It will be great to witness the journey 🇦🇺.
Congratulations Mike. Have fun
So good to see follow up videos, it is an awesome thing to find these machines, and exciting to see where they go and that they are appreciated, used and cared for. Thank you.
Ps, i may pay to at least have a chat with Tyrells, even if you can't afford to take it there, he knows stuff.
