    Can I be the first to ask... why? Why copy something and have a fake when you could have something truely unique? Wacky fella.

    Why go and build a Lambo then put a Ford engine in it? He went to the extent of badgeing it as if it's the real thing, but he's got some other engine. I mean, if he tried so hard to make it an exact replica, how could he cheap out on the powertrain like that?

    It is pretty cool though. Why isn't he working for Lamborghini, getting paid to make Lamborghinis? If he can build one from scratch, he should have a job doing it I say.

    I remember this story.

    I mean, yeah, it's odd, but some people put that effort into stamp collecting instead.

    He wanted to build it, so be it. Great effort on his part.

    I wonder how it's going to get registered though, if at all.

    I think a 351 Cleveland, essential racing motor would be a ton of fun in a Countach. It worked for the Pantera and i think it's an excellent choice

    More metal-working skills than imagination, perhaps?

    What amazes me most is that this is how all cars were once built.

    NO real probs registering it in the UK NSX.
    We have a standard process for Single Vehicle Authorisation.
    They inspect the car against a standard set of requirements and if it passes it's from then on not treated any differently to any production car you'd buy.
    It's why kit cars have always thrived in the UK

    Looks like the spread of the links has over-powered the server hosting it
    WOudl love to see the pics and build !
