Is a Zonda really worth it?

Damn that looks cheap!

£418k at today's rate. Housed in Europe, so buy it and drive it home...

Is the F previously mentioned worth twice this red example? I think not. This red one is stunning, has the nicer F wheels but that's it. Yum.

I've often wondered about this actually. If I were ever in the very fortunate position to buy a Zonda (or similar) would I buy RHD if it was available?

My thinking being - in the UK a Zonda is a big old beastie to drive around anyway, so would LHD really make much difference? Plus if i were to own such a car i'd like to think i'd do a lot of driving it in Europe - to the 'ring, Monaco, Spain etc etc to where there are the best driving roads in the world, so LHD would be a definite plus obviously.

Would you sacrifice not having RHD to make the times when you really use the car as designed in Europe better?

Genuinely interested...

Hi Beef. I hope you are well.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

Another point. In the UK LHD cars are usually cheaper than RHD. But, would a LHD Zonda actually be more expensive? Becuase of those people wanting to drive it around Europe/ship it to another part of the world.
Cheers.

I'm in no position to pass judgement on driving differences between LHD vs RHD, but there were only 3 RHD F Coupes ever made - the black one at Romans, the white one at Supervettura and a dark blue one (I think) LHD might have to be the compromise with owning (in my opinion) the greatest car ever made.

On the other hand you could say that a RHD car would be a better investment, given the low production numbers, especially with expanding RHD markets such as Hong Kong. But LHD will always appeal more to the larger European market.

Not true, you forgot these:

There are others but you get my point.

Incorrect, there were are least 10 RHD F coupe made most of which went to the Far East.

ETA: you seem to have been corrected already. I don't mean to rub it in Half of dealership sites spread unfounded information like that.
