i know, if i was buying a car for $1.3 million bucks what more infomation would you want. We should all chip in 100k and by it..... if it was a proper auction.
he must really own it. if you look at his previous ebay purchases, you'll see he bought an enzo T-shirt to go with it.
Maybe Lindsay Fox would be interested. He could paint the roof yellow and own a pigeon pair of Enzo's. I believe he just paid circa $1M for a new Roller.
I'm not interested in buying it (obviously), but what is the deal with LHD moderns? Can you register a new LHD car anywhere in Australia? NT perhaps? If you can register it somewhere, can you at least drive it here? (Those 612s at the Classic Adelaide come to mind).
no no no and no, those 612's were bought in by Ateko and Ferrari from the Chinese number 69 on the chow shop menu thing, and anything else, forget it, we cant even get the Reva registered in Aust cos its electric, passes UK and Europe crash standards but not good enuf for here................very smelly, govt cant make money out of it, no petrol no tax.....................................very very smelly
not 100% sure, but i think the rules are a bit more relaxed in WA. maybe one of the foreigners from perth can confirm,
Well, that just about scuttles my plan for a time-share purchase plan for a Veyron. I was thinking say $3m divided by 10 punters = $300,000 each with high price demo drives (or demo rides more likely) and motor show appearances paying the running costs and a bit of cash back. 5 weeks a year each for the boys. Keep the car stored at Neville King's place - for obvious reasons - and we all take turns. Not a bad plan you have to admit. Bugger it.
the insurance would be a killer, so many drivers, and how does one value a car with a depreciation factor or warp 9 stick to the fiat bambino
With 10 people paying for the insurance, it doesn't matter if it is a killer. You wouldn't need to guess market value - the insurer would insist on an agreed value policy anyway. Depreciation will be about the same as a McLaren, I predict. That's not too bad. But if you can't drive it on the road, you'd need a bloody big test track...
Maybe, but the Zonda is "just" a fast car, not the fastest car ever built or ever likely to be built. And there will be other, newer, better Zondas, killing the resale. OTOH, the Veyron is the automotive equivalent of the Corcorde. But good luck to anyone who could get a similar plan off the ground with a Zonda.
Speaking to Bugatti this weekend re the visit to the factory and circuit. I'll be able to give you all pictures and drive impressions of the Veyron. Why is it that only Lambo drivers recognise excellence. I suspect that Veyron will take a much higher ground than Enzo's. If I find a way of owning a Veyron, I predict I will own the last petrol supercar capable of over 400km/hr. Unlike you guys I will actually drive it fast as well. My Murcie sold on its merits after over 500 high speed runs. Try doing that with your Fast Fiat. Watch this space for the new rocket coming to Alice very soon.
OK, Plan B. Neville talks Bugatti into opening first Southern Hemisphere dealership in the most logical place in the world, Alice Springs. Bugatti, grateful for the initiative, quickly dispatch demo car to Australia, via Adelaide for delivery to King Motors. Since I'm going to Alice anyway (to open a computer business just like Neville's), I volunteer to take it up. Not game to drive it above 350kph due to recent influx of wedgetail eagles, I invite Scud along who winds the speedo off the clock. Neville, himself grateful for my idea, agrees I can drive the car any time I damn well feel like it (which will be quite often as I visit my computer firm every week to do the banking.) Is this workable?
