[Mikey]

:stupid:

[artherd]

Gett yaself an R!

[Mike S]

This S costed the owner around 1.8 mill dollars

[pdisme]

Siiiick! Time for yours Mike.

What are you driving at the track these days?

[Mike S]

LOL! I don't feel like selling all my cars to get 1! That owner sold several of his cars in place for this one.

I drive the Exige S mainly, but I took this F430 this time. LP640 I went for a lap but thats about it. Haven't tracked the Carrera in a year or so

[pdisme]

Only thing I don't like about the Zonda is the exhaust, it looks like a bottling machine or something. :lol2:

[trax]

I presume thats the one that recently sold in the UK

Import duty must have cost a bit

[demetri]

i think theres one in washington seattle

[SuperVixen]

Insane!

Yes, must have been - only RHD cars are street legal here

owner sold a whole bunch of cars, DeTomaso Pantera, Aston Martin Lagonda, bunch of his Ferraris - just kept all his Lambo's

trax, will you do me a favour? please give me a PM if you ever know of a zonda F for sale in the UK? Would be much appreciated! Thanks

trax, do me a favor and never tell Mike if you know of a Zonda F for sale in the UK, my jealousy would boil over and I could hurt someone. :lol2: :lol2:

[Mike S]

[cantwait2]

Wow, I didn't think they would be that readily available in the pre-owned market. 550k pounds is a joke, will probably cost me all in all a million pounds to bring in :( if you find a orange one let me know!

I remember that car when it was first sold - something very special about it

but in general the thing to remember with all these top end cars is that a lot of them are advertised, without really being for sale
The owners just give out high prices that they would be happy to sell for

A good example is the mint Black Enzo currently offered for £750,000
The owner has ~20 other cars and doesn't really want to sell it, but if some footballer turns up paying £250,000 over what it's worth he will obviously sell it.


Another issue with UK Zonda prices is that the early ones were quite cheap ~1 year ago (~£125,000 iirc), then the guy in EVO magazine bought one and the value went way up

Shame you can't take LHD - this one in France looks great

I searched on the net and saw that orange Zonda too. Darn it!

That is true about the guys saying it's half and half on the market for the right price - then again isn't anything :D , but I also have our import tax to deal with there after.

Pagani has apparently already sold out its allocations until the 100th Zonda coupe (not sure about the verts). So they are not sure if they can help you unless there is a cancellation.

How the hell does Africa do anything with such stiff tarrifs?

[infamousdru]

damnn that is such a beautiful car...i hear this guy in pelham ny has a red one...isn't there literally only a handful of zonda's in the U.S.?

Its probably rapper/music producer Wyclef Jean, I know he has a red one aswell as a McLaren F1. And yes there are hardly any Zonda's in the US. I have heard #'s as low as there only being 2 here, although im not 100% thats true. Here are some pics I found:

[cantwait2]

I'm not normally a Zonda fan but the peal white two tone looks sweet... :headbang:

[markr]

Wyclef no longer owns the red Zonda. He sold it to the the guy in Arizona who had to burnt orange Mclaren F1. If you remember the red Zonda that had aftermarket wheels on it at SEMA last year, that was the ex Wyclef car in the hands of the new owner.
