Is that the one that Super Vettura are advertising for £1.4 million. If so I would love to know why it is worth that much when the recent Cinque (One of only five remember) that was for sale with Tom Hartley with only 300 miles on the clock and the only Cinque Coupe in Europe could be had for £1.2 million?

Just asking.....

I wondered that myself. Apparently this is a 'Final Edition'.

I seriously doubt they'll shift it at that much wedge...

Zonda F at the TKO / London motor museum

I knew there was supposed to be a Zonda on GB3K but that's the first of anything official I've seen!
It won't be on the rally; behave! It's start line glitter. Elo (who runs the London Motor Museum) took the SSC Ultimate Aero on the 2009 one though, and I believe he'll be taking an Enzo this year.

Yes, it's the same car. It's also the same one that was at Bob Forstner before, which was very slightly modified for the current owner.

Looks like I am about 2 years late but here goes anyways! There are currently 4 Zonda's available for sale at a German dealership named Amian Cars - does anyone know if they are reputable?

I hear about older Zonda's being converted to newer specs all the time but my research has revealed very little about the potential costs. If any of you fine gearheads happens to know, I'd really appreciate it any info you might have.

Andy74b has had a lot of work on his car so might be able to give you a decent view of the (large) costs involved.

The silver S should be the ex-Rio Prestige car with new wheels and will have high mileage (hence no note of it on the website). I'd try to haggle a deal over that (being an ex-rental car) and that would hopefully give you some change to invest into changing it.

Saying that, I don't prefer the idea of changing them - I love the original spec cars.
