Well finally after all these years,was driving through essex/east london border and was behind my first Bugatti Veyron.

Fine example it looked to,lovely gold/bronze colour...as a person who drives a few miles a year although never through central London,seems unusual to have taken so long for a first spot.

Am i just driving through the wrong areas,how many Veyrons are on our roads in the UK,does anyone see them on a daily basis?

Plenty about in town. Especially in the summer.

You will find 3 or 4 of them parked outside Harrods / cruising around Chelsea during the Summer.

There's a foul cream/chrome one with UAE plates on it that lurks around Mayfair, I've seen that one a fair few times.

They have only made a few hundred? 400 i think, many of those are in the middle east, far east, the USA, some will be in collections and not driven, some have been crashed, pretty rare really so not common at all.

I think I saw one go past me at a very high speed one night on the m25 but it may have been a GTR.

Saw one outside the Carlton Hotel in Cannes in the summer with the steel bodywork. Attracted a large crowd. it also had an arab number plate and some other cars parked there did too. Anyone know how these cars are allowed to run around on european roads?
