At the North end of Park Lane, there's a showroom that looks like not much, in fact there aren't any logos or signage above the windows outside, but inside are these:





Pagani Zonda and Koenigsegg CCR = Awesome!

It's between Green St and Wood's Mews, does anybody know what it is?

Please see a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybA_08hD97U

Dunno...but they should give that Zonda a polish.
It's through a window! It looked alright inside, but they certainly should give the windows a clean, they were absolutely filthy.

It's been set up by Tommy W. from Broughtons (and a partner) and I believe they'll be the UK's official Pagani dealer.

And yes, that's Shoebag's Egg.
I was wondering if that would happen as they had a white Zonda F for sale a few years back, then that car went to broughtons i think?
Test drive down park lane would suit me fine smile (by standing on the pavement and watching)
You watch, I'll drive tongue out

If anyone is interested the carbon F Roadster has now turned up here, along with the UK white F coupe with a carbon roof. So that makes 3 Zonda, 1 Koenigsegg and also a BF Performance Murci. Not too shabby!
I think I'm about to go and take a look!

Actually no it's raining, maybe tomorrow and pics will be soon to follow.

Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting, aren’t Bob Forstner a German Company?

And according to their website I think that Carbon F Roadster is going for over 1.1 million euros yikes

Tom, thank you ever so much for posting, fascinating to hear and best of luck with everything. I for one would be absolutely delighted to come and visit at some point if it is possible, you have a stunning collection of cars there and the opportunity would be incredible.

The old McLaren showroom was the one that is now BMW "Tax Free Sales" I think.

Google Street View agrees: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&a...

Nope its the Harrods Estates one.
Haha whoops! I Google'd and saw it was 61 Park Lane (http://www.allinlondon.co.uk/directory/1068/29690.php), but mis-read the door sign on Street View and got the wrong place!

Went part with a camera on Friday. The place has no names or branding and is apparently due to open soon. There were:

3 Zondas,
1 Koenigsegg
1 Murcielago
1 XBow
1 Spyker
1 Merc SL65 AMG black

Enjoy!


It has a Bob Forstner banner above the main window, and the business cards in the side window of course.

I too went by on Friday, but the only new video I made was of the KTM X-Bow, the Spyker and SL Black were too far from sight:
