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.

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.

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

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

True that

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

That car looks a keeper ... done well

Brilliant. - love it! LOOOOOL!!

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Yay, thanks for the new video Sam.

I absolutely adore this thing!!!

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

Amazing colour job, awesome 😎

The straight glass on the side gives away instantly

Give this car some love, it deserves it!

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?

Where do you find parts for a Countach replica anyway??

Lamborghini countach looks awesome 😎👍

Awesome Video

Great color grey white 😊

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 !

Looks great!

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

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)

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 .

For sale and if so, how much please?

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.

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 .👍🏻

That lamborghini replica looks pretty damm close ,change that steering wheel and you'll be rite.great video.👍

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

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

that looks a real lambo and i do like the colour you should pay for a valet to clean the outer car

Nice Lambo copy 👍👍just need a v10 twin turbo BMW m5

​@@Hardupgarage brilliant fit and finish, simply stunning, what is it based on?, thnx.

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.

It's great that you love it.

Is Sam hard the English Bruce Wilson…? 😂

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

Perfect car for a Targa hard top

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

😂 I wouldn't tell anyone that I took rides with Jimmy Saville, ever ever.😢

I love it 😊

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.

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

Uh yeah…..that sounds like a v12 all right….by the way i have a line on a toll bridge in California i can get you for peanuts….its a real cash cow but needs paint….CONTINUOUSLY…..let me know as this offer is going to be snapped up fast! 😉

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.

replicas are currently exchanging for over £80k!!!
