Saw a Cinque parked outside the Dorchester - Park Lane. This was car "5 of 5". A very rare sight. Its probably going to be parked there all week....

Anyone know where the other 4 are in the world.?

I saw one at the wekend on the M4 ( not a conque) buit a Zonda with GJ under the badge. it was being followed by an Aston Rapide, made for a gret sight. not sure ehat the GJ stands for though, although it also made up a part of the registration.

No idea, but it does not sound like a factory spec/build model. The Cinque looked awesome amongst normal cars on Sat night. Would love to have heard it..

Saw it there again last night, having seen him out on the M4 on Saturday, it's such an awesome car and I do hope it sticks around all summer.

Is the car often there during the day? Or is it hit and miss? I may pop up tomorrow and would love to see it, is the reventon still in the lambo showroom too?

Reventon is still at Lambo.

Cinque seems to be coming and going. I suspect it's only in town at weekends (based on the last 2 weeks).

As a spectator I disagree! If they were hiding in the countryside I would never get to see them. But the people who drive and park them around London entertain some of us regularly, and certainly bring smiles to our faces!

I've tried to think of a good analogy but can't. So here you go.

It's like buying one of the finest sports cars ever made and driving it up and down Park Lane at 40mph.

edit: For all I know the owner of this car spends the rest of the year driving it between trackdays via various Alpine passes.

In all fairness I saw him pushing it on the M4, definitely over 70mph, although I think that's less fun than Park lane!

Also, just to be annoying, I want to add that you can only go "up" Park Lane at 40mph, you must come down at 30mph wink

I think the car will only spend a few months in London though, most of the time it will be somewhere far far away where it may be able to have a bit more fun, fingers crossed.

But then again, if the person needs the car just to go around the city, are you suggesting he should do it in an old banger as opposed to a Zonda Cinque, even though the cost is irrelevant to him?

In reply to the original post - some are known and some aren't.

1/5 is for sale in Guarneri, and was spotted in Spain before.
2/5 is made but in an unknown location
3/5 is possibly going to Germany
5/5 is the Qatar owned on in London
4/5 hasn't been seen/ finished yet, but is likely to be yellow.

That's one that is in Scotland, it's a special edition like the "Uno" and "PS". For those who know what PS stand for you can probably guess what GJ means (owner's name).

Presvious answer was for the Roadsters, as that's the one at Park Lane.

Of the 5 Cinque's 4 are in Hong Kong, and 1 in the UK. 3 white, 1 orange and 1 radioactive green.

I know what PS stands for but can only guess at GJ Gordon Jackson ?

That's not the right name. GJ was unfortunately the owner of the Zonda that crashed recently and made national news for "the most expensive insurance payout in the UK ever". He wasn't driving it though.

Having said that; Googling "Zonda PS" reveals very quickly who that is; but Googling "Zonda GJ" reveals nothing but this thread.
