Hello Fellow RS'ers.

Reaching out for your help! I'm looking for a Lamborghini Countach locally or somewhat close.

As you might know, my marketing agency - Drive Marketing Group has been working with Vancouver International Auto Show and we're looking to complete a certain display which would need a Lamborghini Countach - As you know, they aren't easy to come by.

If anyone knows anyone, please do give me a shout! Free Auto Show tickets for the referral!

I can be reached at josh@drivemarketinggroup.ca

Thanks guys!

I always see one by english bay near denman and davie area

[nabs]

Didn't the shop "Corvette Specialties" use to have one in their shop as a show piece?

[SpartanAir]

There is a red on white leather one in town, I've seen it in Yaletown. Immaculate.

I smiled when I saw a post about the Countach. The epitome of the bedroom poster supercar. Just riding in one, letting alone owning one one day would complete my life. :ahwow:

Fun fact:

Tire sizes for Countach

Fronts: 225-50R15.
Rear: 345-35R15. :fuckthatshit:

[StylinRed]

I know someone with a yellow one, but it never sees the light of day on the road :seriously: will let them know and see if they're interested.

also see a white one all the time in maple ridge, when the weather is nice, but heard people say its a kit car, doesn't look like one though :crazy2:

I had a Countache poster. A Testarossa, a 911 Turbo poster.. even a cherry red '65 Mustang.

My 911 RC car was the coolest on the block until it died and I couldn't afford to repair it :lol

I have not achieved any of my childhood car goals :okay:

[murd0c]

I had the white countach poster also and a 94 McLaren one.

back in the day when my dad owned a jaguar (RIP :( ) he used to go to silk cat in north vancouver. for the longest time there was a customer white countach getting it's fuel and ignition system repaired at the back of the shop. maybe give them a call and ask if it's still around and might be available for what you are hoping to do.

It's not

This pic was taken a couple of years ago. Ex US car (back when the dollars were better) and was being semi restored by this shop. Car was leaking oil when I parked under it.

:badpokerface:

Car was improperly repainted the first time. Painter underestimated how hot the exhaust got. When the shop rebuilt the exhaust and fired the car up, the painted just melted right off.

:drunk:

I'm sure it's all good by now. Shop is gone after lead builder moved away.

maybe you can ask them to rent one of these:

At one point these where going for under 100 grand on Barret Jackson and the announcers where saying they would make a great car for a small town dentist. How things have changed.

[Port Man]

There is this one in Port Moody area displayed in glass... anyone got info on it? Real or kit car... ?

[twitchyzero]

too bad they all come with the atrocious US-spec bumpers

lol the front wing
last of the bertone designed raging bull tho...quattrovalvole :fuckyea:

[SpartanAir]

^ Ya was gonna ask about that! Seriously WTF...looks like a terrible ricer mod.

But at least it doesn't have the square US spec bumper like the black one. Seriously wtf was DOT thinking in the 80s. Look at those after-thought rectangular sidemarkers. Just awful.

I don't know how long ago you are talking about here, but I saw a White Countach at Silk cat a couple years ago getting serviced. Looked like it was getting a major service. I was so happy to see one, even though it was on the hoist

none of those cars are local.

the red car in the glass container looks like a replica. at least judging by the wheels

[GS8]

90% sure that Red one is a replica. The wheelbase looks like stock Fiero wheelbase. It's probably protected by glass and fence because the owner doesn't want to be exposed when someone sees the stock Fiero interior.

This guy made a replica as well. Not local but note the wheelbase

[Lomac]

I know there's a legit red on white one floating around Langley somewhere. Used to see it all the time during summer months.

[Timpo]

Maybe settle for cheaper option?

no timpo he is not buying a car, he wants to rent one for the auto show display for his booth and he needs the car to complete the set

[604STIG]

I'm just surprised Timpo didn't post a GTR as a viable replacement.

early 2000. i can't remember exactly. i vaguely recall being told that the car was improperly stored for a long time and the car suffered as a result and the owner was trying to get it sorted out again.

[Manic!]

I think some RS members where working on that white Countach.

[SpartanAir]

I know there's a legit red on white one floating around Langley somewhere. Used to see it all the time during summer months.

That's gotta be the one I saw. The one in the video looks like a black interior.

So we are learning there are several in the lower mainland! :thumbsup:

[Harvey Specter]

Clean Countach's are skyrocketing in value of late.

[CP.AR]

seen one white one casually cruise down my street several years ago. No hideous bumper, Collector plated IIRC

[TouringTeg]

I got a chance to see this one in Victoria before it sold a few months back. No idea where it went to.

The boys at Silver Arrow Auto had one for sale and they still might http://silverarrowcars.com (http://silverarrowcars.com/)/ 250-812-6409

[TouringTeg]

Yes that's the black one above. I saw it at Silver Arrow a while back. They have some amazing cars.
