That dealer has had it for sale for ages,using various methods to sell it. I suspect having a veyron is a bit of a nightmare for a dealer as if you're in that league, you can afford a new/barely used one and you don't need to go ferreting around On eBay. Even Bugatti struggled to shift them as quickly as they wished hence all the tarted up 'special editions' . Christ knows how people will sell them when the rich have got bored of them. Appreciating asset? I suspect not!

The dreadful colour may be a contributing factor as to why it's hanging around.

I quite like that colour scheme! And as said, the reg plate has got to be worth a bomb too (I nearly once bought a £700 Jeep with a £600 quid reg plate on it... J333 PLM)

IIRC The F1 plate belongs to Mr Kahn and will not be sold with the car...

Nasty colour-scheme - doesn't suit the car - and I do imagine these are hard to shift...

That auction did highlight this tho - I've always fancied one of these for some reason

The back seat legroom appears HILARIOUSLY bad tho!?

I actually tried to convince my OH she needed this, but she was having none of it laugh

It appears the front seats are all the way back?

I've been in that very car - used to belong to a director of a vehicle rental company. It had shockingly bad build quality, felt cheap and plastic-like inside, and given it is 300bhp+ it went like a salted slug.

The eBay add doesn't say the plate doesn't come with the car though.

It's on an 07 plate.

I think that's what Paulie 'walnuts' drove in the Sopranos. The poor rear legroom is due to the large boot, necessary for carrying large 'parcels' eek

Surely that's nothing to do with whether it comes with the F1 plate or not? A touch cheeky to display the car with the F1 plate, most other sellers would specify 'Please note this car doesn't come with the F1 plate'

Quite a few people may well expect the plate to come with the car.
