Chap on Teamspeed from Quatar has just bought a Zonda F. Apparently used to belong to some Russian guy from Dubai.

Something isn't right about this photo though:



I'm guessing this is a C12S which has been upgraded to F specification. Seems wrong having the old wing and an 'F' badge to me though. That, and the rear grilles being in shiny metal makes the back end of this one look awful to me.

The front 3/4 shot looks okay, but i'm guessing the interior is an acquired taste as it's covered in Ostrich leather.

It's a legitimate F but one that has been specced terribly! I think you could specify the S wing if you preferred it, which I can understand. But what I don't understand is why you'd paint over all of that gorgeous bare carbon fibre!

That (top photo) looks like a photograph of a model, not a real car.

There is something not 'right' about it.....

Zonda geek hat on. Yes that is chassis 76069. The owner opted for a combination of F and S parts. As has been said was owned by a Russian. It’s one of the very few Zonda's that features hardly any exposed carbon.

The taste of the guy who commissioned the car has to be called into question, but you pays your money you takes your choice.
