@Sarcasticscum if you want reliable... buy a Toyota.

You miss the point of this car entirely. It doesnt matter how often it breaks down or how expensive it is to do repairs.

Its all about how the car makes you feel. Its like having sex.... if its great who cares how your partner looks or how good she/he cooks.

This car puts a big smile on my face. And all i ever did was sit in one and later watch it drive away.... i would seriously consider giving a kidney for an Espada.

This is a gorgeous car.... but its not a S3. Its a S1. The obvious clues are the dashboard and the side mirror. The S3 had a curved aluminum dash (this has a flat wooden dash), and big ugly plastic side mirrors. This has a more suitable chrome mirror.

One of the more affordable classic italian V12 cars.... for now.

have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old DOHC Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree

Ha, are you kidding??? These cars are total garbage and require servicing which over time costs more than the car is worth!! My grandfather had one for 18 years and hardly drove it because it always had constant air intake problems, which cost him $12,867 in total. I laugh at how you call this car "Sheer Italian Genius" because all in all, these cars were never popular for a reason.
