Few would deny that Lamborghini's Countach is the quintessential supercar of its era. It was built by a talented and passionate team of designers and engineers with the purpose of being the most extrovert and outrageous of cars available for the street. As a replacement for the fabulous Miura this was a tall order, but there can be no doubt that it succeeded and even today, though there are more modern cars and faster cars, the Countach which will draw people's attention like nothing else. The stunning styling was by Bertone's Marcello Gandini and when the first prototype was revealed as project 112, one of the factory workers exclaimed Countach, a local Piemontese expletive, politely translated as Wow! The name stuck.

Many kit car manufacturers, notably Prova and Mirage, have been inspired over the year to produce their own replicas of the legendary Countach, using other volume production donor cars as their basis. We are unsure of the origins of this project, but we can tell you it has a space frame chassis fitted with a twin-carburettor Rover V8 engine and manual gearbox, and is registered with the DVLA as a 1988 Lamborghini Replica. Whilst complete, running and driving, the ‘Countach’ will benefit from further restoration and maintenance work before being used on a regular basis. 

Sold as seen and offered without reserve, this interesting project offers the potential to acquire an accurate looking Countach replica for a fraction of the price of the real thing.

Although on the DVLA database, a V5C is not currently with the vehicle and as such it will be sold on a bill of sale.
