Hello and greets all,
....Where oh where to begin...
As the title suggests, I'm looking for a Countach replica. After almost 2
months of
searching, I don't think there's one website dealing with Countaches that
I haven't
been to, in my pursuit of finding a decent replica. Some of the more
significant
sites (or info) I've found are:
Prova
Lamberti
Parallel Designs
Mirage Replicas
These companies do (or did at one time) produce Countaches. Yet, email
these folks as
many times as you want from the 'contact us' page and you never seem to
get a reply.
I've been to lamborghinireplica.com. There are always a few Countach
replicas for
sale or trade there, but frankly, most of them look terrible and wouldn't
pass an
inspection at 100 feet from even an amateurs's eye.
I've been to sites like www.kitcars.com. There, you may actually be lucky
enough to
find something very close to what you're looking for. Only problem is the
guy will be
located something like 15,000 miles away (relative to the US) halfway
around the
world in the Middle East or something and you can find no ****pping
companies to get
from "here to there."
So what do I mean by a "decent" Countach? A countach that is about 99.9%
indistinguishable from the original (not counting the engine and the
like).
It seems to me that the greatest supercar ever made is not just going to
fade into
history and become dust in the wind. The companies I listed above have all
made very
decent Countaches at one time or another. Where are they now? Where are
their cars?
It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to go out on a limb, a
very THIN
limb, and actually buy an original Countach, although this is going to
break the
bank, put me in debt, and maybe even get me into a heap of trouble with
financing and
enormous operating and maintenance expenses. I will not be denied my
favorite
supercar of all time, the only one car I've every really wanted. Is this
what I'll
have to resort to? If you can, someone please help. Any info much
appreciated.
Thank you.
MJ
