I know of a few, but there's no guarantee as to when they might be out and about for you to see.

Those pictures, to me, illustrate how much cooler the Murci is than the Gallardo - so much bigger and badder.

Would I have any chance of arranging a meet with any driver? I saw one as a kid and have not seen one on the roads since!

I am probably going to be across in Glasgow soon enough...my sister lives there and I will go across to see my niece and nephew. If you were up for it, it would be great to meet.

I feel guilty that its not in my fantasy garage...its not been updated recently and Lamborghinis have returned to me as a fascination fairly recently. I love the Diablo but never even dreamed of seeing a Countach on the street so never even thought to ask!

Cheerssmile Pete.

well let me know when you are through. I am away quite a bit this month and am taking the countach down to london on Wednesday for a check over and carb re set as a bit of the edge has been lost. I have the car in Glasgow quite often and park outside tinderbox in the west end at weekends. Easy to spot, big white countach with silly wing! lol
Let em know and if can will be about or in the west end for coffee with my mates

Carlo is the biggest non franchised Lambo dealer outside the people in France but am not suire he welcomes people turing up just to look at cars whicha re based at his house so didnt suggest that!

Where are they based about? I scoured the web looking for an address (interested in an rs4 they have in stock), but had no luck finding one..

edited to say, just read paulqv's post, makes sense now! I'll give Carlo a buzz wink

Thanks loads! When I come across I will drop you an email a few days beforesmile

About Carlo's how do you contact him(the link doesn't work for me) and is he up for enthusiasts coming to look with no intention of buying?

Hi
Carlo's business is listed in top marques, but I dont think he would be too open to people coming over, but is for you to ask. It is at his house though not a showroom so is quite different.

Let me know if your through. It's mainly at weekends I go into town with the car and frequently on a sunday morning as meet some mates in Tinderbox Byres Road for coffee and cake!
I know the high life of a lambo driver!
