Adidas

Here's a few facts;

He paid £1.2 million for it last week (it has the removable roof). One of only 5 in the world at present.

Wheels cost £54,000 for the four before VAT

Tyres are £6,000 a corner.

Road tax is £405


Funniest thing was the look on the face of a guy driving past in his Enzo when he realised he'd been out Supercar'd.

Picture to follow shortly, apologies in advance as it was taken on the phone.

Schweet ! aren't the indicator stalks magnesium and like 4k+ each ?

Adidas

Interior was very nice too, don't know about the stalks though.


He did ask if I knew anyone who could detail his wheels, I told him nobody sprang to mind

marky1

I'm sure the guy in his enzo isn't losing much sleep over it!

i'd prefer the Enzo anyway

the veyron looks like a Beetle (animal and car btw)

would have one if you gave it too me;-)

Janspeed

I would promptly sell it, and use the money for better and more interesting things!

Andy M3

Good idea to think on the Adidas theme but think 3 stripes

This is the ex Jenson Button Veyron, the rear tyres look fairly worn to me, I was told it had only done about 1500 miles

That works out at about £16 per mile just for tyres

how can 1 tyre cost 6K ??

Adidas

This was around Park Lane (Mayfair)

I'd just like to add the Enzo was in convoy with a White Rolls Royce Phantom drophead Coupe.

In my estimation thats about £2million worth of motors

Janspeed

Guess he was overpaid at the time, and then had to sell it to finance his stay in the marvellous F1......

Allan

No this was last month, was up for sale at £900K, but swapped it for an Enzo.

Janspeed

iTrader: (1)

So he lost not so much on it?

Bought an Enzo? Can understand it, still I think he sux........

Good for him.

Just looked into this an it's not £6000 per tyre, but £6000 per set of tyres being replaced by Bugatti as they do lots of complex checks at the same time, so labour is the main cost.

That needs doing every 2500 miles tho!... and every 7500 miles the wheels need to be replaced?!

roger moore

yeah but still at £6000 per set seems a bit dear?

subaruturbo_18

Pfft, and they say a scoob is expensive.

Janspeed

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, but can you deplete a full tank of petrol in under 20 mins???

You just wouldnt though would you. I mean unless you have been going 253mph for 7.5k miles how the **** is it any different to any other car??

Petem95

I think you would tho as it's part of the service schedule! It wouldn't have a full dealer service history otherwise and I expect that would hurt the value a lot!

dpb

Learnt only today that Veyron was the race car driver for Bugatti during their two year reign at winning le Mans

I have a mate who could stamp the book up from a local VW garage

Steve vRS

Could a Skoda garage stamp the book? An Audi dealer could stamp my schedule so the same logic applies

Steve

Jimpreza

As long as the garage is VAT registered anyone can service it.

Not strictly true. You have to be of a certain standard for servicing. The VW main dealer that I work at CAN NOT service Phaeton or Touareg. Some Audi dealers can NOT service RS/R8 models.

I read that a Veyron service is £13600. Anyone know if thats true, and if it includes the tyre/wheel change?
