Well I’ve just finished 4 days security at the Goodwood festival of transport. Some serious motors.
Heard of a car make called Zonda???
Well they are in the price range of between £350,000 to £450,000. Will do 250+mph There are only 4 in the country and 1 of them is not on the road at the mo.
I know cos when they were loading it onto the trailer the cable snapped. It rolled down the ramp and was brought to an abrupt halt by a tranny van. Driver was is Ilse of Man TT cap, Tshirt etc. Dent in van door. All the driver wanted was his van fixed. Probaly about £500 to fix.
The Zonda, nice silver colour, has a little plastic square piece just below the rear wheel arch. Less than 8 inches square.
Hand built, one by one in Italy, with a bit of help from every other country in europe. Some is from good old Milton Keyens, again.
This bit is not priced by how much is it going to cost to make, more the “where the f*ck else are you going to go to get one”.
The same pricing strategy used by car and bike builders world wide for unique parts. It’s just for Piganni Zonda owners, the stick a couple of extra 0’s on the end.
Yup I was chatting to the people who own them. You can rent 1 for the day at a measley £2,500. But, you have to allow them to swipe your credit card to cover a small imdemnity charge, just incase of a little knock. Guess how much??
I think I saw the one you are talking about in the isle of man this year - I definately saw a blue one over there… a stunning piece of machinery… If I had the cash, this would be on my wish list - i remember watching top gear when they tested it… just a stunning piece of kit!
I would dred to think what the insurance would be on one of them… i might call up direct line and see!
If you want to see the most expensive, luxurious and modded car’s in the country at the moment, go to Knightsbridge. Between now and the end of August is the main part of the year that all the arab’s come to London, and they usually bring their toys with them! You might even see me rolling by in the Escalade with my driver!
That is some arab dude, M9performance knows him, he also has bentleys and a bugatti in the same colours, I have seen them around mayfair… I think he has a few bob…

First thought is that they are *ankers. Then I get honest. I’m slightly jealous.
But then, how many bikes could you buy for the price of just one of those cars?
For the price of a Bugatti, you could probably cherry pick from every major bike manufacturer world wide.
Or struggle to buy a house in the better bits of suburban London. Now ain’t that a comforting thought.
I work near the Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, in the summer you do see a few Labo’s and Ferraris parked around there with the arab number plates. Lotta cash to play with !
The Zonda cost £298,000 and worth every penny everything is hand made and most of it is carbonfiber because there is no space for luggage they have a custom made set that fits in and you even get a pair of taylor made driving shoe’s I so want one
