The Lamborghini Espada was a true four-seat grand tourer with a front-mounted V12 and dramatic Bertone styling. Seatbelt Planet's kit for 1970-1973 Espadas is a three-point conversion that fits each front seat with a reel-type three-point belt and an end-release buckle, a sensible upgrade for a car built to cover long distances quickly.
Fitment
Fitment covers both front seats of 1970-1973 Espada coupes.
Webbing Colors
Fifty-two webbing colors are offered, with 13 premium shades. Espada cabins were often trimmed in tan, cream or red leather, and the color range makes it easy to find a sympathetic match.
Why Replace?
Many Espadas were built with simple lap belts or have belts that are now decades old. A three-point conversion adds shoulder restraint and makes the car more comfortable on long runs, the kind of driving the Espada was designed for.
Belt Care
Clean the straps with a mild soap solution, keep leather conditioner off the webbing, and let the retractors take the belts back slowly.
About the Lamborghini Espada
Lamborghini built the Espada from 1968 to 1978, and it was one of the company's best sellers of the period. Its 3.9-liter V12 sat up front, and the long, low body could carry four adults in comfort. The Series II cars of 1970 brought a redesigned dashboard and more power.
Before You Install
Because this is a conversion kit, confirm where the upper shoulder belt mounts will go in your car before ordering, and clean all existing anchor threads.
Good to Know
Two belts per kit.
The Espada is a rare car, and parts that fit properly are hard to find. A kit listed by model and year takes the guesswork out of sourcing belts.
Retracting belts suit a grand tourer, where occupants want to move freely on long drives and still be properly restrained.
End release buckles are simple and familiar to any passenger.
Seatbelt Planet makes the belts after you choose the webbing color.

Espada interiors are spacious for a coupe, with four proper seats beneath a long glass rear hatch. Front occupants sit low, and a reel pulls the Espada's shoulder strap clear of the seat between uses, sparing the leather.
Conversion kits like this one are popular with owners who drive their cars on tours and rallies, where long hours behind the wheel make comfortable belts worthwhile.
Because the Espada was built in three series over ten years, interior details vary. This kit is listed for the 1970-1973 cars, which covers the Series II and early Series III production.
