Ideal if you love a challenge and have big balls

Finding something like this is so rare and you have the ability along with deep pockets this opportunity

will not come up again, Think it's going to cause a lot of interest as well.

Reminds me of my Espada that i tore apart and didn't have the talent to finish what i started

buy it, trailer it to Iain Tyrell and let him get on with it (open chequebook naturally).

It could be stunning.

Not to mention expensive, as you say ,open cheque book stuff.

How much are we talking do you think? £250k?

Would depend on if they find anything missing as you go along, I would have thought more like £150K /£175K

add that to the purchase price whatever that's going be and unless you love a challenge or want your own personal nut and bolt rebuilt

Countach i would have thought it would be better to buy a going concern unless it goes for a song which it won't.

I can imagine the restoration taking quite some time, and tracking down the bits might be a challenge.
Interesting, though. Wonder why it was laid up for so long?

I've got a mate who loves projects like this,he will spend sometimes years restoring these cars and never seems to be in a hurry,

When finished seems to lose interest in them either covering them up or selling them,

For him the enjoyment seems to be challenge of locating the parts and then putting it all back together,

Then starts all over again on something else that he's falling over,

Apart from giving the car a good shake down he never drives them again far preferring his truck,

He could well end up with this Countach if the bidding doesn't get to silly,
