I was heading home down the M6 earlier, and happened to look across at the opposite carriageway as a bloody Zonda drove past. After I got home, I thought i would have a look at my dashcam video to see if I could see what iteration of Zonda it was that I had seen. Now a closing speed of 140mph isn't my dashcams forte, so I have grabbed the best still picture I could manage:



Apologies for the quality, I know its atrocious. From seeing it as it went by and looking at the pic, it looks to be a Coupe, with a roof scoop and it definitely had a decent wing on the back, although I expect all Zondas with a scoop had a big wing.

Having looked at this page

It looks like it might be a Cinque? I thought the car had a slightly purpley look which made me think of Lewis Hamilton's old car, which lives in the UK now I think. Was it that one that I saw? I just wondered if anyone with more knowledge than me might know more, there aren't that many Zondas and I think this is the first one I have ever seen.

Hi there,

I beleive the ex Lewis Hamilton Pagani Zonda 760LH lives in the North West of England.

From your photo I think this could be a likely candidate

Think Lewis is in Australia if taken very recently.

Maybe his dad has taken it out for a quick spin.

Hi,

It doesnt belong to Lewis any more, he sold it some time ago

Thanks Tim! I guess that does make sense as I had heard that it lived in the Lakes. Still, you don't expect to see a 1-off car worth millions out in the wild!

PS. Always enjoyed seeing your snaps on PH going back the years thumbup

Thanks Norbury90

Glad you are enjoying my pics. I am currently working on a gallary from Silverstone Classic in 2010, can't beleive I never got round to adding them to my site.

Yes super special to see a car like a Zonda out in thw wild and well done for grabbing it off your dashcam

I've just seen some other very sad dash cam footage of the ex LH Zonda. I hope the person/people involved are ok.

I presume the car the OP spotted is the one sadly in the article....

As has been said, hope whoever was driving was OK other than being slightly embarrassed at the weather catching them out....It’s going to be an expensive insurance claim eek

He is apparently fine, just a little shaken yet. Though hearsay, I've not seen him since it happened.

I'm sure it'll be repaired and back on the road soon, just means he'll have to drive his other Pagani in the meantime a bit more!

Is this the same as the Gary video?

I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for!
