Just over 7 months ago I placed an order for the following car with a model shop in Germany. I had to pay the full price rather than a deposit at the time, but it was the cheapest one I could find on the internet. 3 months later, the model was released and started appearing in model shops and online across Europe. I contacted the model shop in Germany but they hadn't received any stock. I followed up 3 times over the subsequent months but the shop was unable to give me an indication of when they might receive their pre-order. In the meantime, stock had started to disappear across Europe and exchange rates were moving against me. I therefore took the difficult decision to cancel my pre-order and ask for a refund and purchase the model elsewhere, even though it would now cost me ~20% more than when i placed the order 7 months earlier. In fairness to the shop, they refunded me without complaint, and there was nothing apart from my nervousness on whether they would ever get the stock to suggest they were going to eventually renege on the deal and leave me nowhere to source the model from. Morale of the story for me, i'll pay 5% more next time and get it from one of the major on line shops who always get stock and get it quickly. My photo doesn't do this justice but in the hand it is spectacular and so Lamborghini.... Looksmart Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4

very interesting your story, we must keep open eyes when choosing a vendor. The model is superb, no doubt!

It does indeed look like a proper Lamborghini. Love the paint colour.

Looksmart Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Sorry it's so late but I've only just seen this. Your tale sums up the reason why I get nervous pre-ordering and while I never do it. I'd rather pay slightly over the odds to guarantee I get a much wanted model. Anyway, the model looks great and in the best colour.

When I posted my matte orange version on the old forum a few years ago it was met with mainly negative comments. Unbelievable as it is a fantastic looking car and it doesn't look like every other modern Lambo.

A colleague knew that I frequented the swapmeets and asked me to look out for one of these. He was over the moon when I found it- wasn't cheap then, around 30 years ago.
Great to have the original packaging including the fragile styrofoam.
