Having been toying with one of these for the last 12 months or so , and now i am in the position to take the leap .
Does anyone know this car ? , what are they like to live with , i.e reliability issues , what should i look for etc ?

Any advice would be excellent as i have no knowledge of these at all , infact i have never even had the chance to look at one but i fell in love with its looks the moment i clapped eyes on it .

This is a huge amount of cash to lay out and its taken me 12 months to convince the wife its not a bad idea lol , so please any help will be greatfully appreciated .

The CCR??
I personaly would go for Shoebags one, as this is the broughtons car that was at MPH, anyone who went there and heard it, deafeningly loud on the limit! but for a car they were trying to sell its not what you'd expect them to do. Reving the nuts off it.
Shoebags is cheaper i think, and equally as stunning in the metal smile

I believe a Koenig to be a modified Ferrari i.e. 512 or suchlike.

more likely given the dealer, that its a shortening of KOENIGSEGG and a refference to this http://www.dicklovett.co.uk/hitlist.php?dgroup=105...

I PDI'd that car and have extensively tested it, as I have all the UK Koenigseggs, apart from the latest £1 million+ Edition.

Let me know what you want to know about it and whether you should or not?

Cheers,

Ruttboy.

Nice cars, I think Shoebag's would probably best too, although depends on if you love the bright green! I'm almost certain the car above is the one that was in Broughtons for a while, was sold to someone in Wales (?) and then ended up in Lovett's a week or so later. However it might have just changed dealership, rather than going to a private owner.

Anyone know what happened to Rio's old purple CC8S?

Rio's car is in Essex if I recall what ShoeBag said rightly.

Shoebag, I have been told I should contact you with information regarding the Koenigsegg when it as in London. Could you please PM me? Thanks.

Yep - there is a board on it on south wales forum; there was big noise in the paper about this guy from south wales buying it for £350k , it having been sourced for him and two weeks later its on Lovett's forecourt for sale for 20k less ... go figure

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/showbiz-and-lifestyle...

Is this the purple one that has been up for sale for years ?
