...again.

The first time was when he ordered it in that colour, obviously.

£8 million apparently, although that is according to the Mail, so I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

Judging by the article, between 10 and 19 million.

Love the colour, love the car. This would be the first thing I bought after a euro millions win. I'd be sat outside his house with my chequebook.

Well you'd be stupid, if you had the money to by one why go for a crash repaired one

Also I know of a bloke who could build a near identical replica for £15k just finished a zonda.........

I saw it in the flesh at the Motorshow when it was new.

Frankly it looked pretty vile. Same sort of colour as a base model 1.8 CVH Sierra minicab.

Might as well have ordered it in beige or shocking pink

Either of those colours would suffice.

I'd have it if it was painted with a thousand airbrushed turds.

I've actually never been a massive fan of these, for some unknown reason. But I appreciate they're awesome... I wonder what he's going to replace it with, if anything... I'd happily swap one for a P1!

I don't know if he bought a P1. You'd assume he would, though, right?! I'm still amazed he's selling the F1. As for your swapping an F1 for a P1... I hope you'd ask for say 10 million cash on top of the deal

I suspect he's selling it for the cash injection, it's not as if he's swamped with work at the minute. Lovely car all the same though

Be suprised a lot of these high rollers are asset rich cash poor and the cash he's got in that car is a fair whack to free up, also now is a good time to sell, ass has got to fall out the classic car market sooner or later and it's climbed that fast over the last few years it's only going to go so far
