Nestled in the most affluent area of the country...

As well as being the people that brought you the Ferrari 550 LM.

Unfortunately it wasn't there. A Le Mans Class winning 550 GTS was though.
10th Overall in 2003

What lies beneath? Carbonfibre apparently, and some Alcantara.

It is in Stoke Poges, so really it depends on what you mean by "near".
About 26 miles west of London.

Closer than Goodwood is to London ;) If you dont go to London at the right time (which hasnt yet been confirmed but theres only 2 events that go on there .. each 3 days long not including press days). Could always go to this place instead. Remember to add the Park Lane dealers to your list .. theres too many good dealers to write but it includes Mclaren, Aston, Porsche, Rolls etc etc

yea but if goodwood was going on at the time i would bother to make the trip, this is awesome, but not quite worth it, with all the nice dealers in the city.

Also try Joe Macaris. They have one dealer in Wandsworth and one in Wimbeldon. The Wandsworth one normally has an F50 and a Zonda along with loads of 360s, Masers and Mercs. Havent been to Wimbeldon showroom but that should be larger.

Very nice image's Mr Wells.

May i ask what were you doing there?
Can you go in and take pictures? - I presume it has something to do with Uni work....

And what Camera are you using?

I thought that I should pop along and see one.
I am a stickler for quality and have heard so many things about the levels of quality on the Zonda, so why not?

It is only 20 mins away from home, and I'm not planning on coming back this way for a while. I phoned ahead and asked nicely, and like all of these places they were very civilised and helpful, as you would expect from people trying to flog £100,000+ cars.

Plus you can get much closer to the cars when you ask nicely at a dealership than amidst the throng of a motorshow.

It may play a role later in the year when it comes to the automotive styling module as inspiration.

It is brilliant, the level of detail, especially compared with the other cars there. It was easy to see where the extra £100,000 goes. The bare cast-alloy wing and wing mirror supports, the quality of the badges, the pure functionality of the interior such as the strap for the glovebox, toggle switches, the individual door handles, solid knurled ends to the instrument stalks, the straps holding the front and rear bodywork down - a triumph.


And what Camera are you using?

Nothing too flash - a Pentax Optio 330GS, 3.2megapixel - which has great potential if you can get it set up right, which is usually hampered by my forgetting to fiddle with it.
