Countach

[Jonny TVR]

Did you buy that off market? Looks like a replica to me

[snapper seven]

Ha I agree. Not a very good attempt by Lego. On Instagram I have seen others who have done their own versions which imo look much better than the official Lego one.

Well it is true I have not had an eye test for a couple of years….
But a Countach for less than 20 quid has to be a good deal in todays market 😀

When you said you were actively looking for a Countach i thought

you had something slightly bigger in mind.

Well this is certainly easier to buy, insure, and park......

Thought I'd share photos of the 1982 Lamborghini Countach US specification fuel-injection prototype I took at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in 2012.

Yes. At least they got the car certified for sale in the US.

Back as I understand it you can take them off now, so why keep them on?

[Silver Smudger]

Many owners did remove them, but this one being a prototype, perhaps they value originality? It would need a new front boot lid at least

Stunning colour combination.

Pedestrian safety obsession began in the US.

Nevermind they legally carry guns around.

Much harder by the looks of things, Bloody fantastic

If you got the itch you have to scratch it otherwise regret it the rest of your driving life.
