Speaking of 'look at me' cars I was shocked to see a pair of Countaches in Kenmore, Perthshire yesterday. One red, one white with L3MBO plate. I assume they were replicas but still made quite a show going through town.

Also saw a red 458 Speciale up the road in Crianlarich. Unusual in those parts. thumbup
Oddly, DVLA lists it as a Lamborghini, yet state it is a 2001 car. So unless Lambo made him one 11 years after they stopped making one I'd say it's fake.

Most likely the import date... look at the 51 plate F40 etc.

It's far more likely to be a fake.

A while ago I converted some old family slides (the wifes side) to jpg, and found these.

Am working on the back story but looks fun!





In which case hopefully you're aware of this thread...

Is it possible to register a "Random Lamborghini replica" as a Lamborghini.?

Perhaps I can 're register my FIAT as something more special scratchchin

This has a small Prodrive sticker on the front bumper.



Could it be an ex race car ?

Did Prodrive ,or whoever owned them ,sell off these cars when finished with them ?

Doesn't look wide or low enough to be a proper 550 GT1

EDIT - Then again...

The only discernable differences I can see are the single wiper and the cold air intakes...

Saw an F40 today, came flying past me whilst I was on the push iron, was really shifting! I thought it was a motorbike approaching with the noise. It looked awesome at speed, so low and wide looking. Reg plate was something like 8 RHB. Anyone's on here?
Sorry no time to take a pic!

Yes cheating a bit as I didn't see it on the road as such, but this was at a small car run and sport event I went to yesterday.

Definitely stood out from the other cars that were around on the day.

A friend of my father's had one of these.

He's an Iranian arms dealer.

Car suited him down to the ground!
