I have a young nephew who is desperate to see and be photographed with a Bugatti Veyron - Where is the best place to see one?

British Motorshow?
Geneva?

Manchester? as per recent press pics and we only live 10 miles away....

I have seen one but he is constantly on about it.


cheers

Barry

There were several at Geneva last year, along with some amazing other sights. I highly recommend it, and the prices for tickets are incredibly good value. He (and you!) will be in his element all day.

They quite frequently have one in at Jack Barclay in Berkeley Square in London. They may not let you in for the piccy though but they're often prominently displayed in the windows. Don't think they have one at the moment though.

Romans' are always roped off to stop you getting too close to them. Also, they didn't have any in stock last week when I had a nose.

The Goodwood supercar breakfast should guarantee one - and you can phone Goodwood Breakfast club before to see whether one has booked in.

Google for Goodwood Breakfast club and all will be revealed

At a quick guess, I'd say the Bugatti factory! There's usually a few there maybe? But dont always count on it! tongue out

Just read somewhere else that 1/5th of all Veyrons sold are in Daubi.

With regards to Romans - look at their previously sold cars and you can play a good game of snap scratchchin

Let me know when the next V is in stock and I'll do a drive by to check it out.

At Europe's best motorshow next week, you will see all the supercars under one roof, a very short walk from the airport.
Same at the brilliant Goodwood Festival if you can wait that long.

If Essex has been re-named Hong Kong on the world map then maybe, but as far as im aware a friend of mine still owns his Veyron which is white and he bought it from Romans weekend before last....

Barry,

As a bit of a supercar spotting nerd nerd I can possibly help you out.

The Veyron that keeps popping up in Manchester is owned by a guy who is involved in racing Ferraris. Last year the car was seen at the British GT event held at Oulton Park over the easter weekend. From memory the car was there on Easter Monday (there is no racing on Easter Sunday) I was there on the Saturday and did not see the car. The event is being held again this easter (Qualifying 22nd March, Race Day is the 24th March) so this may be worth a trip for you as you probably live quite close if Manchester is only 10 miles away.

This is not my picture but taken by someone who was at Oulton Park.


The same car also showed up at the Silverstone Ferrari Racing Days event in June, I managed to see it this time and got some shots.

The owner was quite happy for people to take loads of pics and seemed quite personable.

Even if the car does not show up at Oulton Park it will be a great event and you are sure to see some really nice cars both on Track and in the Paddock.





Regards

Tim
