Any Zonda experts fancy lending a hand?
Been wondering for a few years now about a Zonda F Roadster I spotted in an expensive hotel car park.
I have a picture of the front, but lost the picture of the plate unfortunately. I do remember however it was pretty new at the time of spotting, 3 years ago - early 2009 (it was still cold)
Anyway, here's a picture. Not much to go off, but cant be that many in the UK at that time, with black wheels of the F Roadster variety.

Was it a painted or bare carbon body??

Just thought I would add some more Pictures of a few Zondas from an early factory visit.

The picture was taken in Chester, so the Cheshire theory stands. and it was bare carbon.
Any ideas on who owns it? if it's still around Cheshire?

Do you have any more of the 7.3 S on the left?

The cars are 6 (carbon), 39 (red) and 21/27/28/unknown for the silver 7.3. It's impossible to tell more from the part of the car on view!

It is likely to have been still there in April (Spotted in Cheshire).

Could be this one? It's in the British GT paddock at Oulton Park (also Cheshire) each year.

NRS, the silver car is a well known one, well, it's Harryison Metcalf's. Seem to recall it was there at the time for some works undertaking.

How did you ID the red car? do you have any other pictures of it..

Ok, #21 then. Since most S cars are silver then it's often hard to tell which one it is unless you have pictures of the interior etc. This car had the 7.3 spoiler struts, and silver wings with the carbon bits, which is why it was narrowed down to those cars. Since, it's better than 2 of the Fs, with the only difference being the colour of the stiching inside!

The red car is knowing the different cars, and there are not so many red F's. These have bigger differences and so it's pretty easy to identify. The painted roof of this car is one of the easier ways to identify it. It's a rebuilt 7.3 to F spec and was Pagani's personal car for a bit. It's called an F prototype (see above description of the F coupe "problem".

You're losing your touch - you can tell it's very likely to be a 7.0 by the spoiler.

Other way round as you know, but are getting mixed up with I guess.

The 7.0 has the strut for the spoiler on the side like:



The 7.3 is:
