I took this picture of the spoiler of a Veneno Roadster at the Italian Car Passion - La Bella Machina exhibition at the Autoworld Car Museum in Brussels last year. The quality you get when buying a 2 million plus car is laughable.

Is it bad that the first thing I noticed is the Wimpy in the background?

Glad you all, well most, enjoy the watermark hunt.

The colour on that P1 is beautiful.

Great pictures as ever Alex!
Same colour as the F1 GT, also has the same interior colour and seat design. Very very nice car!

WRT to the Zonda. Not sure if that's the owners residence, but surely it would be better garaged than stuck outside in the elements?

Yeah, it doesn't normally just sit on the driveway!

That's the prototype car, but still, it was shown at Geneva etc so you'd think quality would be top notch.

Kind of thought the same when I sat in a Ferrari Testarossa.

The welding in the footwell of my boss's F40 made me wince a little when it arrived at work.

I don't think you can question quality unless you know it came from the factory like that, It looks to be a scratch in the lacquer & more than likely post delivery.

I read somewhere that somebody asked Gordon Murray, when he was developing the McLaren F1, what he thought of the Ferrari F40 and his reply was something like "Nobody at McLaren can weld that badly!". biggrin

Out of the two, I know which I would rather have, bad welds and all.

Give me those bad welds over any McLaren every day of the week.

Allegedly Phil Hill said, when presented with Chris Rea's Ferrari 156, that he could tell it wasn't genuine as the welds were too good.

I spotted a similar one (registration M15OKA) outside TW White & Sons in Bookham (A246) this morning. My son and I had a simultaneous 'WTF?' moment as we passed, but it would seem that they are now officially available in the UK...

Yay!

It was a toss-up between posting it here (as a rarity, thank fk!) or in the 'Badly Modified' thread, but apparently they're hand built by craftsmen, so not at all badly modified then?
