nope ... it was originally on SOR with Bob Forstner @ Park Lane , but the owner moved it to Avro .

I know the owner and have driven the car , it's simply amazing.

i would love it... it's got higher miles than many, but that would just encourage me to keep using it... there are so many good roads in europe that would become even better in that car!

compliments to your friend who owns it!

Dont let the milage put you off, Harry Metcalfs Zonda has done nearly 50k miles without any major issues apart from some clutch problems caused by an un-authorised dealer. Dont forget that these are AMG V12's in the back of these things so will do well over 100k miles without any major problems

Metcalf's has about 37K on it, but still a decent mileage for a hypercar.

When I spoke to the owner of this car about service, he said it was actually quite cheap as far as service goes . Minor ones done at Mercedes-Benz (albeit I couldn't imagine handing over a zonda at my local MB) - then the major's done at the factory , typically after their owners meeting in Europe . Cost really no worse than a Lamborghini (sometimes cheaper) , unless you are tempted by the lengthy & costly upgrade list .

There was someone in the UK who got his sump replaced at the local MB dealership. There was also another that had some work at one, although I'm not sure what was done for it.
