No idea who the lucky owner is, but the only other UK car that I have seen is Paul Bailey's identical white one, registered POR 918S.

also spotted in Hove. Looks stunning, especially in that colour with those wheels- does anyone know if those are the standard wheels?

Yes, they are the standard wheels.

From memory, Bailey has a Weissach with mag wheels.

Judging by the plate I think I know who the owner is, and if so the car is based in Surrey. Still yet to see it in person but quite excited for when I do!

Great spot. Hopefully it escaped the fate of the white Aventador parked further along the Promenade up near the Queen's Hotel (sorry, that'll be Hotel Mercure Cheltenham Queen's) earlier this afternoon.

Another 918, this was seen in Cardiff, image posted on a local spotted page.
Owner is well known for supercars in the Swansea/Llanelli area.

What happened?

Yeah the owner of the Welsh 918 is a big Porsche and Ferrari fan, although had an Aventador for a while. Has also flirted with big Bentley's and even a K'Segg but still ends up back at Porsche. Has a GT3 RS on order also, as I found out that a 918 gives you first refusal on every Porsche for the next decade.

Ticketed, worse things happen but still a pita. A white Aventador LP700-4 Roadster is eye catching to all sorts of people.

Seen that Aventador twice now driving round Montpellier. Presumably here for race week.
