Damn good replica. I didn't realise it was one until I saw your comment on the price.

It's almost tasteful - well as tasteful as a replica is ever going to be! - but still suffers from the crap dashboard and steering wheel all replicas are plagued with.

I wonder if VAG are aware of it.... scratchchin >cough<lawsuit>cough<

Where did they do that? I'm pretty sure they can't confiscate and destroy a replica in UK.

Anyway, some Lambo replicas are so good the body panels fit on the real cars. The conversion is a lot more involved that gluing a bodykit to an MR2.

Nothing wrong with that as far as replicas go. You would still have to ask yourself the question 'what else would £30k get me' though.

Perhaps all the 'real' cars listed in the advert they will 'kindly' take into part-exchange for it....

From the article posted on PH previously. - but that was in Germany.

However, replica/counterfeit goods get confiscated & destroyed regularly in the UK too - usually by Trading Standards & the police.

Knew a guy that turned V6 Renaults into Countachs. He did quite a few. I never will get stuff like this.

I'd rather have a Countach chassis and engine with a Renault body...
