D1MAC Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 The odd part is that the addendum says it wasn't the last road going one, as has been bandied about. What's really bad though, is that it has done less than 500km and yet "all but 90km are McLaren test mileage". In 4 years! How could you buy an F1 and not be tempted to use it :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think Riz has it, it is a museum piece, but it does kind of tick the boxes, although Baz's Ferrari is a stunner. I'm going to send Bonhams an email : "Dear Sir/Madam. I am very interested in your Bugatti Type 41 Royale , please advise your lowest price for the Bugatti Type 41 Royale and send more pictures of your Bugatti Type 41 Royale , I have funds available to transfer by Western Union and my friend will arrange immediate collection as I am currently in West Africa on an urgent business trip. Yours sincerely. Mr Stanley Umbongo [email protected] PS - I need the Bugatti Type 41 Royale , urgently and look forward to your response. Kid, that email is not correct.

scooby_simon Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 funk me, thats a whole truck load of cash, I'm guessing the buyer doesn't have any credit crunch issues I don't suppose it has had much impact on Nick Mason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, its prob destined to sit in a garage somewhere in a collection, such a pity.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1MAC Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 D1mac, I wonder what effect no usage has had on the car ? Perished rubber, dried out lines etc ? Still, its prob destined to sit in a garage somewhere in a collection, such a pity.. I suppose that would normally be an issue but I suppose on the other hand, if it's had one of those £50k McLaren services where they polish the underside of the car and other such oddities then I guess it should be ready to roll. Onto the trailer and into the 'collection' I can kind of understand in one sense given how few of them there are and a desire to preserve what we have but at the same time, the temptation for us mere mortals (in a financial sense) would be far too great:eclipse: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
