Its not often a RHD Zonda comes up for sale especially one as nice as this. It’s a Zonda S Roadster, chassis 76052 which has been UK based if I am not mistaken all its life. A lot of people prefer the purity of the S model so I suspect this car might not be around for long. Plus the colour sets it of beautifully

As an F fan I tend not to concentrate on the S models as much but I think this car is almost perfect. I actually love the fact that not a huge amount of carbon is on show, I think I am going off the whole exposed carbon thing now as you see it on almost everything now.

Anyway I have no idea what is being asked for the car but I suspect it will be in the £500k range.

So if you missed out on a P1, LaFerrari or a 918 and fancy something to impress over the summer this could be an ideal purchase

Pretty sure Jason Hartley (related to Hartley clan but not in car sales, is/was into park homes) used to own that and it lived at his gaff up in Morecambe for a bit.

I think that might be Peter Reads car who also owns a Huarya. If that is the same car it's absolutely stunning. Get it bought Streetrod! If you get bored you can always upgrade it to a 760 roadster!
Mate, I am currently digging behind the sofa for any loose change I can find as we speak. I would love to get that and upgrade the engine to 760 spec but keep the rest of the car looking the way it is.

I will be heading over to Macari's for a closer tomorrow.

Coyft how are you getting on with yours, I suspect it has been wrapped up for the winter or am I wrong?

Just unwrapped by Mr P. It's been to the factory for a service and a couple fo technical upgrades. had a great visit on Monday.

Don’t leave it at that mate, I need details. What work was carried out during the service, what upgrades did you have and how silly was the cost, I don’t expect details of the exact amount?thumbup

P.S. Does your car have a front lift system?

Where are you having the tanks done? I just had mine inspected by Pagani and they said I should replace them at the next service.
They are being done at H.R.Owen, but they need to take the tanks out send them to the factory. Pagani then make a copy and send them back to London to have them fitted ! My car was manufactured in 2002, so is a couple of years overdue, so I decided to play it safe.

Hopefully the car will back in time for Supercar Sunday at Goodwood in May - but I get the feeling with Pagani that you can never be quite sure !

I'm informed it's up for £900k - yikes
Seriously!!! yikes That's one hell of leap. You are looking at an increase of over £300K in 18 months or so.

I thought I used to have decent handle on Zonda values but to be honest now I have no idea. This could be because sales values are rarely published but we are heading towards classic status here folks so jump on whilst you still have a chance. Early original cars seem to be where the most potential lies

You not got one then? biggrin

Common as muck I tell ya.

I think Pagani told me there were something like 20 in the UK. I've probably seen 10.
When did he tell you that Coyft as I number have been exported to Japan due to them being RHD

Despite being a RHD market, buyers in Japan would want LHD - I'm based in Tokyo and rarely see a RHD supercar.

More likely that they are exported to Hong Kong, Malaysia & Singapore.

I seem to recall Jason Hartley was asking arount £350K when he sold it.

Stunning colour.

I have just got back from Joe Macari's having spent probably too much time pouring over the car. Considering its age its in great shape. The car still has Peter Reads name plate inside. I only noticed one stone chip on the front valance, a small bit of paint wear on the edge of the drivers door and a mark on the plastic rear screen. Small cosmetic issues that would only bother someone as anal as myself and which are all easily fixed. I did not get into a conversation with the dealer as I did not want ot waste his time.

If I had the money I would be calling my bank now, its probably the best Zonda S I have seen and probably a sure fire investmnet if that sort of thing interests you

They don't have a standard template? Seems very odd.
