Lotusnobles,

I assume you mean Bath Road, Slough. I have seen the car many times around Slough, Uxbridge etc. He is a young guy, and is always out in car rain or shine.

However, I have some doubts. I might be wrong but that car does not look genuine. The lights and the wheel offsets do not appear correct as on my car, and it does not sound like a V12. Also, the car has a standard "G" plate on it. The first Diablo ever brought into the country was a '91 "H".

No mate definately Worcester! We got a Bath Road to! You might be right about it not being genuine though... did look a bit thrashed and thought the back lights didnt look quite right.......It must be an annoying thing that there are so many fake Lambos around, particulary Countach's wasnt really aware of fake diablos though

Know what you mean about the fake ones.

There's a fake Red Countach at the bottom of my road.
Think it's Cossie powered. Looks OK actually.

Yeah... with countach's I always work on it being a fake till proved otherwise, bet there is three times as many fakes as genuine cars

Check list

1. Does it have a cheap cherished no.

2. Does it sound like a Rover V8

3. Do the wheels look genuine

Any other tell tales? LOL

A guy my friend knew had a fake Countach. The panel gaps and seals looked awful. Then again it was an 80's supercar. The seals and panel gaps on ours look great. Funny thing is though that his car got nicked! Got to be gutting finding out you nicked a fake Lambo.
