Still possible? An abandoned Countach?

• 

Prices of the Lamborghini Countach are rising rocketlike recently, exactly as happens with other "poster cars" of that era like the Porsche 959 or the Ferrari F40. Due to the current investor fever, the market prices of these models have gone up close to the million zone, and almost every unit are painstakingly maintained to the highest standards. Or at least never used...

Then, what's the story of this abandoned Lambo? It was recently discovered in southern Spain, at the holiday apartment of a British resident. His Countach was already to be found here some years ago... and that's exactly where we´ve found it again. But don´t worry. As -probably most of you - already suspected, this one is one of the quite large number of various (home-built) replicas, with a tubular chassis and a big fat V8 engine of American origins. Externally it´s really difficult to distinguish from a true one due to the high percentage of real Lambo parts, or at least this was the explanation of the owner. Can you tell which parts are wrong?
