Poster Poser

Those my age would know this;
As a little boy, the exotic wedge fast shape is an ultimate dream ride.
The menacing look even captures the childhood fondness of robots then.
I remember my classmate would draw this endlessly until he masters the car's details.
Most of us would have pictures of it. A poster is the ultimate on the wall décor.
Ah those were the days!


Reliving that age of naïve automotive amazement is embodied in this heavy 1:43 diecast.

Bandai Lamborghini Countach

    Hi Mervin, yup it’s been a while :-) at the start of the year much office work needs attention lately. Finally got some break to post. Glad you like the Lambo!

    it shows our age hehehe! That was every boys dream before, nothing comes close except maybe a sexy Ferrari 308 for me. Those doors are like 20 years ahead of its time. Great catch on that HTF countach Erwin, congrats! :-)

    Indeed BEC is vintage cool, Brian. Maybe someday a Bandai Porsche will find its way to join this one.

    Thanks Mike, we both are young at heart :-) with our choices of cars!
    It is unusual to stumble upon this in our shores, but this Lambo was acquired locally. Lucky find :-)

    I also remember those car posters at the walls of the barbershop where my Lolo used to take me. Congrats on that local find Erwin!
