In this captivating episode, we take you behind the scenes of an extraordinary restoration project led by the skilled craftsman Craig, focusing on the sumptuous interior of a Lamborghini Espada.

With its reputation as a four-seat, 150 mph grand tourer, this Espada’s revival is nothing short of remarkable. Initially swathed in black alcantara from headlining to dashboard, seats, and floor, Craig takes us through his painstaking process of removing the old materials to make way for the fully authentic restoration.

We closely examine the intricate work involved in refurbishing the front seats, where each cut of full-grain leather is meticulously stitched and detailed, showcasing Craig's unparalleled dedication to craftsmanship. The transformation is profound, replacing the alcantara with materials that not only match the original specification but also breathe new life into the interior, making it a splendidly comfortable and elegant space.

Owned by the esteemed Lamborghini historian, Olivier Nameche, this Espada is a testament to the enduring allure of Lamborghini’s design and the meticulous care embedded in its restoration.

This episode is a must-watch for enthusiasts of classic car restoration, offering a detailed look into the techniques and passion that go into preserving the legacy of one of Lamborghini’s most luxurious models.
