NZ-built bargain: This $60K Lamborghini blends Italian style and Kiwi ingenuity


Known as one of the most radically-styled cars of its time, the Lamborghini Countach is still one of the most wild-looking vehicles to grace this earth, but as with all Italian exotics, they don t come cheap. 
So instead of forking out megabucks, Fielding resident by the name of Dave Short decided to start building them himself, and started Countess Mouldings, which pumped out Countach replicas for years. 
Currently listed on DRIVEN is a finished Countess Countach replica, and while it isn t quite the real thing, it has been completed to an incredible standard, and would be an epic drive. 
According to the listing, this Countach has only covered 14,000km in its lifetime, with just 10,000km being clocked up over the past 10 years.  ....
