Damn that looks cheap!http://www.jameslist.com/advert/246284/for-sale-pa...
£418k at today's rate. Housed in Europe, so buy it and drive it home...
Is the F previously mentioned worth twice this red example? I think not. This red one is stunning, has the nicer F wheels but that's it. Yum.

I've often wondered about this actually. If I were ever in the very fortunate position to buy a Zonda (or similar) would I buy RHD if it was available?
My thinking being - in the UK a Zonda is a big old beastie to drive around anyway, so would LHD really make much difference? Plus if i were to own such a car i'd like to think i'd do a lot of driving it in Europe - to the 'ring, Monaco, Spain etc etc to where there are the best driving roads in the world, so LHD would be a definite plus obviously.
Would you sacrifice not having RHD to make the times when you really use the car as designed in Europe better?
Genuinely interested...
Hi Beef. I hope you are well.My thinking being - in the UK a Zonda is a big old beastie to drive around anyway, so would LHD really make much difference?

Yeah, I see what you mean.
Another point. In the UK LHD cars are usually cheaper than RHD. But, would a LHD Zonda actually be more expensive? Becuase of those people wanting to drive it around Europe/ship it to another part of the world.
Cheers.

I'm in no position to pass judgement on driving differences between LHD vs RHD, but there were only 3 RHD F Coupes ever made - the black one at Romans, the white one at Supervettura and a dark blue one (I think) LHD might have to be the compromise with owning (in my opinion) the greatest car ever made.My thinking being - in the UK a Zonda is a big old beastie to drive around anyway, so would LHD really make much difference?

On the other hand you could say that a RHD car would be a better investment, given the low production numbers, especially with expanding RHD markets such as Hong Kong. But LHD will always appeal more to the larger European market.
