I've seen my first Bugatti Veyron! (Photos)

[iluvmercs]

The Veyron has always been a car I've wanted to see in the metal, and during a trip to London last weekend, my wish was granted!

This wasn't a true "spotted", as the car was in a dealership - Jack Barclay on Berkley Square, Mayfair.
However, it's the first one I've seen and the saleman invited me to take photos, after clocking the big camera strapped to my neck!

So here we have a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport finished in French Blue, over Matt Blue, with a cream and blue interior. I lvoed the colour, and was even more thrilled that my first Bug was something a bit different (ie. the Grand Sport model).

Anyway, on to the photos:

They are gorgeous, saw my first brace of them at Prescott the other week but still preferred the sound of the two EB110s they also had there

[Ray Singh]

Good work ! I like it very much.
They had a Pearl white one in there about three weeks ago. It had red leather and was stunning.
I assume they sold it?

You forgot to tell us how much it was on sale for ....

[bazking69]

Nope. That genuinely doesn't nothing for me. Infact I personally think it is rather vulgar.

Best looking colour combo I've seen so far!

I didn't see a price tag on there. A case of "If you have to ask....", I guess

Fair enough. I like it, but then again I adore these....

We have a very different idea of tasteful then!

Very nice.

I saw my first and only Veyron at Loughran's, not seen one on the roads yet.

[Debaser]

I remember being disappointed the first time I saw a Veyron. I thought it looked too short and a bit fat. I’d still have one in a heartbeat though.

Bugatti really do have some strange ideas on what colours go well together; that Veyron looks awful. Am I also alone in not liking the design of the wheels either?

I have to say that of all the Veyrons I've seen (pictures and in the metal) this is probably closest to the combination I'd have:

or this, if pushed. This one also has the wheels I would choose should I ever be so lucky to buy one!

It would appear that the blue car in JB is the the first of the Centenaire editions and was on display at Geneva in March 2009. Hope it's still in the showroom next week when I'm in town.

Beautiful machine, I have to say.. I don't like to love the Veyron since it's the "automatic choice", if you know what I mean? But this is nice indeed. Thanks for sharing!

That interior is gonna be in my dreams for a while but, is anyone else thinking that the matt blue kinda spoils the effect? Better all in very-very-glossy traditional Bugatti French Blue, if you ask me.

Then it'd match the Nogaro Blue S4 I want

I'd say it's closer to the Sprint Blue of my Audi

Going south towards the Backwall Tunnel yesterday, I was overtaken by a fast moving pearl white Veyron Roadster. Reg plate L2.

First one I'd seen on the road, sounded like gods making love.

I nigh-on st.

So you are buying the fastest, one of the most expensive and ostentatious cars on the roads anywhere and you would choose to have in the dullest, least imaginative colour schemes??

It should stand out! Like lambos with their green, orange and yellow paintjobs. That's what a hypercar is all about - Saying "I don't give a fk what you lot think - I can afford it and I make rules" to everyone else on the road...

[Luke.]

That blue one looks bloody awful.

[khevolution]

Must say it does look better with a single colour scheme, not too fussed on the colour, but i think with the 2 colours it looks rather crap

I know what you mean, on any other car... but some how on a Veyron, its kind of right.

Hi there,

That Veyron is gorgeous, I love them in French Blue. One of the first ones I ever saw back in 2007 was in French Blue. Love the interior on the car you saw.
