Thanks for joining the site for me. Make the next photos of when you're pushing it off the transport. Hasslehoff never thought he would finish his Renault before your Esprit.

Esprit and Countach comparitive

For all you guys wondering about how the body and shape of our G-Esprit's compare to a Lamborghini Countach, here is a correct scale comparitive with the middle image being a ghost overlay so you can see just how similar they are. Biggest difference is th Countach has a higher wheel arch, resulting in a flatter windscreen and the rear is raised up higher. Other than that, the Countach driver sits farther forward, but most of the rest of the details are remarkably similar.
