After this car being on the road 22 years and the 11 years I owned it, we have a good example of how a replica will do. After talking to many owners and builders you can defiantly get a feeling on weather or not a replica is possible to use as a daily driver exotic car.
And as usual the end bits....

Hi again, Todd. This video goes where I have never seen a replica video go. Your insight is 100% accurate and informative and gives inspiration to all of us builders that a composite book of part numbers, pictures, and descriptions of parts is priceless to the next owner should you ever part with your magnificent replica and for yourself also . Thanks just falls short of my appreciation for your insights. (No, I have not been compensated for my kudos.......yet ;-))

Would a Countach replica, even with a custom frame like yours, be relatively safe at 100 mile/p/h? Any ideas on which company currently makes a custom frame for a Countach apart from Prova? I previously modified a frame from a fiero for a f-355, but to be honest, it didn't feel that rigid with 3.8 Chevy ( I had a kit for the engine install ) . Drive yes, hard cornering ?

Your kit car looks nice, but is hardly a replica of the real car, at least in the true definition of the word, in that your car is more an inaccurate copy of the original. The drivetrain in the countach is a beautiful integration of the transmission, v12 engine, and rear differential. The tubular space frame chassis was so robust that the test driver rolled it over 100 mph and walked away from it. In a 30 mph barrier crash test, the A-pillar hardly moved! Essentially, your ‘replica’ is a parts car with a myriad of various components assembled together to make copy that resembles he original in appearance, but far from the function and durability, and crashworthiness of the original vehicle. That is why the idea of driving such a vehicle on a daily basis is as much a pipe dream as the thought that kit car is a ‘replica’ of the real thing!

@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs 11 ай бұрын
This replica was built in 2002, today this same builders and fabricators of kit cars are now recruited to make parts for the original. With that we are building more and more authentic cars. But its also driving the cost of the cars up. Idea behind this car was to achieve a good replica that can be used and repaired without the burden of an exotic cars supply chain issues or labour rates. For this car the missions accomplished. When I bought it plan was to swap a v12 into it. After 12 years I've learned if it's not broke don't fix it. Enjoy it for what it is.

@@Replicas_Kits_or_Customs respectfully, I appreciate your passion for the countach, but as the definition of replica is an exact copy, clearly your vehicle is not. The myriad of problems you have with mis-fitting door seals, gaps between mating panels, doors that don’t maintain set positions is due to the weak tube chassis and hand laid fiberglass body of your vehicle whereas the original has a tubular space frame designed to meet North American federal motor vehicle standards for barrier crash and side door intrusion that existed at the time of manufacture. Keep in mind that the countach sold for well over 100k in the eighties and the clientele expected a vehicle of high performance and comparable quality. In his video channel, Jay Leno lays claim that his countach was a daily driver for the first 10 years of his television career. The problem is that kit cars simply are not well engineered, if at all, as compared to vehicles which are engineered for mass production. Even my 1995 Corvette Z07 whiched I used as a daily driver for 10 years has none of the problems your vehicle has even though my corvette has an smc body on a steel frame
