LAMBO!!! SOLD!!!

[wackywacerwill]

We at work have just come into the proud ownership of this bespoke beauty and are now pondering as to what the hell we are going to do with it. I thought you all would appreciate it's greatness so have posted some pics below for your perusal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments and surgestions are greatly apprciated, thanks.

Here's a suggestion. Plywood should burn better than aluminium...

 

[Shep Shepherd]

I would suggest burning it as an effigy on November 5th, but it looks like someone (who is most likely a bit like us) has spent a lot of time creating it, so it would be a shame to destroy it.

This is pretty much how I feel about it. I guess the most would rob it for it's componet parts and bin it off though that does seem a shame.

What 'was' it? Looks interesting enough to poke about with, but I do agree the end result needs to be fire, unless something worthwhile is found! Is it even road legal nowadays?

[HillmanImp]

That is brilliant.

 

I think you should get it on the road and drive to this in it:

I presume it was a Beetle?

[quicksilver]

Get it legal, turn up to Shitefest and WIN!

[messerschmitt owner]

don't take it to the Republic of Ireland cos abortions are banned here! And, no offence, but that Rambo is well nasty!

[Rod/b]

Brilliant in every respect, especially the exhaust designed to capture rainwater.

 

You must MOT it and start using it. There is no other option.

[SambaS]

MOT it. God it's awesome. Ha!

[dollywobbler]

Actually, I've worked it out. I think the plans for it must have been faxed to the person who built it.

[pandamonium]

MOT it and sell it to me. I'd happily roll in it as a daily driver!

Over three different calls? It really does need to be on the road and in use. Future generations must be shown what to avoid!

Sent by telegram more likely

That is Fucking awesome

 

Huge points for any supercar kit with triumph herald guts!

[cort16]

OMG are you a millionare? Absolutely fantastic. Left hand drive for easy cruising down to the south of france. Surely the body's not plywood is it?

[robinmasters]

Why is there a big towing eye behind the handbrake? And why does the handbrake need to go so far down?

 

I think this may have been built to a drawing I did as an eight year old-i was rubbish at drawing cars with curves, so did everything with a ruler.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

That rear arch is pretty funny, but the trailer lights with a bit of red wood behind them are just perfection.

[retrogeezer]

that's awesome...you are a WINNAH.

[Pete-M]

That is the best thing anyone has ended up with on here. EVAH.

 

Bodge a wiper on it, get it road legal and take it on track days.

Not trailer lights. Probably the only slightly exotic thing about it - Reliant Scimitar SE6/Jensen-Healey lamps.

[Talbotman]

This is not a home brew effort!....it's a Countess kit car, produced in the mid eighties by a company up in the north of England by the name of Kingfisher mouldings, before anyone had the guts to take the moulds off a real one!! There was another slightly better Countach ' replica ' from that era called the Panache too. The Countess was legendary for it's appalling build quality and hardly any of them were ever completed!! It would be fab to see this one take the road! It could lead an Autoshite Cannonball run just like the film!!

[Partridge]

I love it! I really want to hate it but I can’t. Keep the plywood interior

[catsinthewelder]

There's something slightly wonderful about it

 

The engine looks like the VW type 4 in my camper

[jonny69]

I'm really struggling to hate it

 

I'd bosh on some satin black, bin all that plywood inside and run it stripped out. Despite the panel fit being better than a real one, it'll never be a Lambo, so why try to be one?

[Volksy]

If anyone read the Fighting Fantasy books in their youth, this could be turned into a great replica of the Interceptor from "Freeway Fighter".

[vulgalour]

I for one welcome our new Shamborghini friend, the interior just needs to be finished in tasteless cracked vinyl and sun-faded crushed velvet.

[Pillock]

The whole thing is lobbed onto a Beetle chassis - the handbrake with heater control levers and the pedals hinged at the bottom and disappearing into the tunnel are pure Beetle, and the engine is seemingly Type 1, but can't see the cooling - Type 3 were same bottom end, but shorter to fit in different kits.

 

It's also wonderfully grim!

[Rod/b]

Out of interest Will, where do you work to have come into possession of such a beast?

[Urban_Paranoia]

I think you should sell it to me.

 

Seriously.
