Incredible photos, thank you!

It's got to be an amazing car when you can take that many close ups and be able to see perfection and/or beauty in every shot.

except for the horrible, horrible italic font on the speedo and rev counter. I think that would stop me buying one.

Stunning.

Keep your La Ferrari and P1. One of these for me please (although I'd be just as happy with a CGT and half a mil in change)

Wonderful photography and a stunning car but the styling is too fussy for me and I do not understand the pricing justification for these. Not worth the money in my world, sorry.

I wholeheartedly agree. I do have lots of admiration for them but ultimately I think it's trying to hard. And I have never understood why people call them beautiful. Interesting, jawdropping, over-the-top, etc, yes. But beautiful? Not at all. And I agree that they are overpriced - but that just shows that most people disagree with me and that's fine.

Thanks for the photos. It certainly is very interesting car to study.

And I am certainly glad I do not have to clean it.... Makes me wonder if Zonda owners mostly just admire it standing still, with all this polished CF and metal you'd hate to get it dirty.

I was just about to pop in and buy it but what with the Start button and the speedo writing I have decided not to bother! tongue out
When I read the title I assumed they had given it to you to drive for the afternoon. Must have been like photographing a naked supermodel then going home to watch Coronation Street on the telly with a TV supper!

Stunning! It's not the Speedo that would bother me it's the Rover 45 air conditioning controls as someone posted on here once. That would REALLY bother me!

Still you'd have to have one wouldn't you.

But like the people at Aston Martin would say that assumes that a Zonda owner has ever been in a Rover 45!

The rear lights on a MaClaren F1 are from a bus. Can't say that would bother me either.

I know this car intimately, its chassis number 76086. I have probably spent more time pouring over the details of this car than any other. In fact I probably know that car better than the owner. HR Owen and Romans where the car was previously must think I have some kind of Zonda fetish.
What I find heart braking about this particular car is that the owner has only covered just over 1000 miles from new in the five years he has owned it. Plus his asking price has not budged in the last three years even though not one seems willing to bite at the asking price.
Also the last time I checked the owner was not allowing test drives even to those who were potential serious buyers.
The car has spent most of its life in the UK but has never been UK registered or driven on the roads here.
As too its value and Zonda values in general, well that all comes down to how much it is worth to any potential purchaser. That’s the only true measure.

Are they ? Didn't know that! Maybe we should start a thread on hypercar parts from other cars. Everyone know that Aston's of a certain age were cobbled together from a Ford parts bin so that would be boring.
