This is a bit of a long shot really - a while back I took a Bburago Countach and modified it into a replica of a Countach (also a replica in real life) that took part in the Targa Tasmania, as pictured below: I used decals from Pattos place and these have the number of 712 also and state that it's from the 2010 running of the event. I've been searching through various results and can't find the year this car competed - there's no mention of it in the 2010 results of entrants list. I'm cataloguing all of my models to display them properly in year of competition when I get the next set of display cabinets. I can find this car competing in 1998 but under number 818. This video has the finished recreation if people are interested (and also to keep this post model related in some fashion)! I have posted this before in a prior thread so it's not anything strictly new. Apologies for the crappy music - youtube threw a fit when I loaded it with a version of Moon Over Castle from Gran Turismo.

Not sure what year this is from yet, but I believe the driver is probably Donut King owner/CEO Tony Alford who drove a Donut King sponsored Nissan GTR from 2008 - 2010.

Not sure what year this is from yet, but I believe the driver is probably Donut King owner/CEO Tony Alford who drove a Donut King sponsored Nissan GTR from 2008 - 2010. The Countach replica was owned by a guy called Steve Johnson (it was entered as an SJ Countach) and had various drivers over the years. 2010 is the date that Pattos place had against the decals but there's no mention of the Countach in the running that year and it doesn't appear in the 2010 video. It is in the 1998 video but a different number and slightly different livery. In the end, it's not a major issue, just nice to have accurate details about the car.
