My first one, in silver with lots of carbon fibre everywhere, outside the Mandarin Oriental next to Hyde Park. The owner (not Harry M) was getting out with his lady friend and handing the keys to the valet parking guys who looked rather pleased..... wonder if he's see 'Ferris Buellers day off'.

Car looked awesome, had a Zonda plate involving some illegal spacing which might not be to everyones taste.

RHD and without wanting to offend the owner, she must have had a really lovely personality

I've seen the electric blue one that belongs to a bloke from Bristol.

He turned up in the middle of the Ferrari enclosure at the See Red Festival at Donnington a few years ago and people just literally swarmed around it.

Cant be many electric blue Zonda's in the UK and assuming that he's owned that number for a while, he and his mates turned up to the Ferrari 50th B'day bash a few years back (probably 10yrs ago, thiking about it) in Northants. He had a Yellow Diablo with ***1 on it and a Red F40 with 1*** on it (both ***'s being the same). I'm assuming they were both his.

I was admiring the cars when they got in them to leave and they stood around talking for a while....all of them must have been late 20's or so, his mates jumped in a white Testarossa (very Miami Vice), the F40 and him and his missus jumped in the Diablo. His parting comment was "right, race you to Hinkley then?"

What a sight. What a dream scenario!

Can you post up some letters from the plate (not all of it if you don't want to) from the silver car?

I might know who's it is

The blue Zonda which used to have the plate RPA 1 is owned by a really nice guy behind Bristol and London , I contacted him to try and buy that car as IMO blue is the only colour for a Zonda . He told me out of all of his cars (F40/Enzo/Murcie/etc etc etc) his Zonda was his favourite and sadly he wouldn't sell

There is another Blue Zonda , albeit a Roadster ....

Hi there,

I really need to get out more, you guys mention a car and then I pop up with loads of pics I took of it. These pictures were taken last year at the Ferrari Owners Club Concours event at Walton Hall, according to one of the club stewards the owner was very put out at being told he had to park it in the public car park.

(images squashed by this site please click them to view full size)













Regards

Tim
