And a Zonda R sat in a workshop in Beijing.
I've just watched "Our Guy in China" and Guy Martin had a quick around look around a Zonda R sat in a workshop in Bejing, it'd be a massive coincidence if it wasn't this car.

Cracking photos as ever Mr Penfold.
Also just seen this.

China - not for me thanks.
I assume it is the same one as in my post from Beijing in 2010

here's a pic of an R in Beijing along with 2 more in the same garage.





They were in a garage across the road from the Peninsular hotel.

Seen in Milton Keynes (just off Silbury Boulevard) on Friday 25th November in the afternoon.

Quite an unusual sight so thought it may be known on Pistonheads.

Mate of mine has a proper grey one. It's a lovely looking car.

That is hideous. Another example of how black wheels just look s**te on every car almost without exception. And wraps in matte colours are so ugly. Attention seeking and ugly.

Looks like a cheap bread van. An actual bread van.

Sort of thing you'd expect from a footballer of someone married to an Ecclestone.

What sort of person looks at the current FF colour palette and thinks that Matte black looks better.

Unless it's Verde underneath.

Standard palette is a bit crap

Do some people get their car wrapped to protect the paint from chips ?

3 years time, or whatever, peel off and viola, perfect paint.

Would the wrap come out cheaper than repainting bonnet, bumper sills etc ?

ETA....If it were my extremely expensive car, I'd like to show off my shiny paint ,not cover it with matt.

You're over thinking this, its just a trend.
Give it a few years and such things will appear in "car mods that you don't see anymore" threads. I hope.

Clear paint protection film would be the answer if you wanted to see the colour and protect it

Not a criticism of your spotting, but rather than of the manufacturer: that looks so st i can barely put it into words. I've seen better looking transit vans.

Except the BBC probably have very little say in who gets paid what as they don't produce it.
I'll take your word for it regarding the One Show, but he took £125,000 per episode of Top Gear. Not what I'd call money well spent.

BTW, great shots Penfolds.

Completely understand and agree. Just thought that such an unusual car in MK might be known on the forum.

Those headlights should definitely stay on the Mini, or a aero 8 but that's it.

Never seen one yet. Yes, total overload on the pricing but, although some may disagree, it'll drive a lot better than an original. Bloody needs to for that price.
