Who knew Tim Shaw was part of the me too movement. Alone in a lambo with Sa***le? I would consider that a car SOS.

[@pansindujayasundara697]

Except for steering wheel everything looks pretty much similar to real countach ❤

[@investfourmore]

Gear shift is off as well.

[@zzdakota]

Way better than any replica I have seen here in the US.

[@geoffshilton6998]

Awesome replica but would be good to get rid of that aftermarket Mountney steering wheel . Great video.

[@Hardupgarage]

True that

[@ForeverNeverwhere1]

The origin story of all the british Countach replicas is interesting, in 1986 a couple of dudes, i forget their names, rented a real one for 2 days and at crazy expense, poured the glass mould on top of it and then couldn't get it off, they then called in a few people to help seperate them and in exchange they all got a moulding in payment, hence the start of the british countach replica scene. Prova/Sienna wrre the best known, probably because they got the first one up and running, but there were about 5 manufacturers at the height, including one stretched convertible version. Prova also did a Miura replica. That must be the rarest kit car ever.

[@douglastodd1947]

The Home Project Channel Lambo copied 1971 De Tomaso Pantera in1974 got away with copyright infringement by converting doors to swing up.

[@chadsmith66]

The guy that made his countach in his basement for 16 years is prob the best one its silver

[@grantmail4112]

So great to see a well built Lambo Replica... a refreshing change from an MR2 with a Halfords body kit on it... 👍💗

[@Archangel3083]

That Cobra Daytona Coupe in the background though 😍! I’m in the middle of building my Daytona.

[@BobBob-sm3sn]

That car looks a keeper ... done well

[@anaestereo810]

Those doors, bonnet (etc) gaps in this replica are something any 80s production sports car would envy.....

Haha amazing! I’ll pop up and have a look this week 😁😁

[@zx1100a1]

Yay, thanks for the new video Sam.

Thanks buddy

[@vijaychauhan46]

Looks pretty close to original❤

[@SentinalUAV]

Is it a Prova Kit ? Looks like it could be I think they still offer all the parts and you can even buy a factory built ready to drive one today !

[@YHBW1001]

The biggest giveaway on all but a few replicas is the flat side glass. Get curved glass and curved frames and it makes a massive difference.

[@stephenforrest464]

That and the wheels

[@CODENAMEMIDNIGHT]

Even though it's not a real one I think that's one to just keep and use, it's like the AC Cobra and GT40 Reps if it's a really good one I don't even care anymore, the poor 355 and Countach reps are not in the same league when its blatantly obvious they are not real. Keep up the good work I love your channel

[@Hardupgarage]

Thanks matey!

This one is actually pretty bad ass dude! Kuddos. Keep this one!

[@VF1Skullangel]

I love the Countach! i wish you could bring it down here to Phoenix at our cars and coffee event!

[@SharpblueCreative]

It’s registered as a 1974 white Ford GB racing sport? Never heard of it - Googling it doesn’t help either. Maybe a V12 slotted in?

[@bobolulu7615]

GB Racing was just another outfit of a few guys who ripped a moulding off the original Prova, started pumping out glass bodies and shut up shop just as fast. If I recall. And someone correct me, but I think they produced a basic chassis made of stainless steel for these cars. The car may have had a Ford engine in it at some stage as the rego plate follows what was probably a donor car. I also think one or so of their cars was fitted with a Jag V12 as was another startup and fail company ABS Scorpions. Every man and his dog were jumping on the Countach bandwagon in the 80s and many were nothing more than enthusiastic enthusiasts producing crap.

[@RustyWrecks]

Check those wheel arches, it looks like a sienna but the wheel arches will tell........and if it is then check out what a sienna countach is going for if you can find one (rarer than the real thing and one of the best replica's ever made)

[@Hardupgarage]

Thanks matey

[@TheCraigy83]

Reason they look bad usually is the donor car just isnt capable of the dimensions once the body works on , i find it funny that we can exact copy anything BUT 99.9% kit cars look wrong immediately on sight without scrutinising with a fine tooth comb , your Lamborghini looks very close , one of the best replications ive seen .👍🏻

[@Hardupgarage]

Many thanks matey

[@mrd4335]

Well done dude 👍 That's a really nice one Mate...Looks the part ....just needs some crazy tuning in future. The wing isn't my cupa tea.... But think is ok for this one.

It Looks like one of my old Kits with the front flatter roof line and the front bonnet dip at the bumper , if it has sperate wheel flares that is it . I sold one that wen to the UK some place , I have photos of it .

[@AdamForeman]

From what I remember from the previous video, it doesn't sound like a Lamborghini. The fake Diablo had an awesome engine, that definitely would fit nicely in there AND sound like the business! Also, perhaps re-paint/wrap it in Lamborghini Yellow as the original one was. The Bentley green however nice, isn't a Lamborghini official colour

[@toolzshed]

Looks great!

[@marineboy4622]

The wheels aren't real. There should be more space between the holes and the edge of the rim.

[@j14phe]

Sam a great deal but it looks the most uncomfortable car to get in and drive looking forwards to seeing how you get round the driving position John

[@douglastodd1947]

Classic Jags don't believe everything you hear, THE REPLICA IS THE COUNTACH, they Copied The De Tomaso Pantera built in Italy 1971 the version with the wheel arches & Rear Wing is the 365 GTS,, Lambo fell in love with it & Breached Copyright Laws , but overcame it by making doors swing up on the Countach Built 1974

You were in FAREHAM!!!!!!!! (Ish)…….. if you want it to look like the BEST replica out there, I think the front wheel placement in the arches needs some attention, it looks glaringly wrong.

[@althunder4269]

The rear wing was available from the factory if you wanted to pay for it. The wing was installed in the parking lot after the car was built (not kidding) also the side glass may be glass on this replica but it's not authentic as the real thing has slightly curved glass panes.

[@mclarenjohnf1]

Flicking between Hoovies and yours without a tape measure the pair look very very close. I think you have a diamond there give it the premium valet and don't rally it and you could actually trade up or sell for a profit and buy a real car. Nice work Sam.

[@kw0017]

So what is it? An early Prova or Mirage?

[@Hardupgarage]

Not sure

[@Thefierofarm]

For sure not a prova. A pillar from a prova is way thicker than this one.

[@Hardupgarage]

We’re thinking it’s an early gt car

Try looking at the GTM cars they are more then likely faster then most cars!!!!!!

[@george1982ok]

Drop in an Alfa V6 turbo kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGSth3-LZ9ybndEfeature=shared

[@g60runner]

Very nice but I’d spot it as a replica right away. Wheels are wrong, the wingtips are absent, the side mirrors are too far back, the side NACA ducts are supposed to be black and the steering wheel. There’s three I’ve seen that were so spot on that even I was fooled, one is Watson’s perfect 88 1/2 replica on an old Euroworks Mirage S, and Udo Keul’s replicas

[@Hardupgarage]

Nope???

@@Hardupgarage right okay 🤣 he may be a good contact for you, builds countach replicas that are too good to be called “replicas”. Very knowledgeable talented guy that’s specialises in these for many many years. He may be the man if you have any questions 😃 I’ll DM you some details!

Stay the hell away from artworks ( Terry ). He is the biggest scam in the countach replica community.

[@th3b0untyhunter]

@Hardupgarage yeah very similar, but not iirc on an early car which yours replicates. Either way they just look totally wrong - those red panels around the lights are iconic

[@Hardupgarage]

Fair enough matey appreciate your comments matey

[@stephenforrest464]

@@th3b0untyhunter The rear lights are right it has a US spec rear panel over the light panel which found its way on to the Anniversary Countach.

[@th3b0untyhunter]

@stephenforrest464 it isn't in America. it isn't an anniversary. And the "USA light panel" was not fitted to early cars which this emulates. As such by any rule you want to use the naff looking rear lights are wrong. It ruins the car for me, which is a shame as for a replica it otherwise looks great.
