New boy on the block

[wheels-inmotion]

Hi peeps

A little about me....

48ysld, widowed with two grown up girls, Admin i do have my own company www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk Admin i assume you will check this out but business is not why i'm here.

Like most of us as kids we were attracted to certain cars, my attraction was the Bond Esprit and the Cannon ball Run Countach. By good fortune and many years of waiting i did find a genuin unmolested Esprit which i used as my daily hog for several months. Sadly my wife fell Ill and died and the car lost it's attraction and i sold it.

Grief not forgotten but the fog clearing i decided to get dream car number two the Lamborghini Countach "replica".

I'm going to have loads of questions but equally i can answer loads of yours regarding chassis and suspension dynamics.

Thanks for looking at this topic

Hi Tony,

I am currently building a countach replica- mirage kit.

Will be good to hear what you are building

Cheers

It's a ready built mirage "i?", I should be getting it this Saturday with luck.

[AcC8braman]

Not a pearlescent yellow by chance?

[wheels-inmotion]

No, more a Ferrari red.

[AcC8braman]

Cool, where did you get it from?

[wheels-inmotion]

A private sale in Chesham Bucks, a sort of barn find.

[AcC8braman]

So will need some work doing to it?

When you say Mirage "i" - do you mean Mark 1 body?

Looking forward to pics

[wheels-inmotion]

It needs some work to tidy it up, not to sure what version the body is, how do i tell?

[AcC8braman]

Usually tell from :

1) Windscreen a pillars are 2cms +
2) The rear quarter windows are flat.
3) Front bumper is not separate from the body.

Having said that, these could have been changed, mine is in the process of being changed now
