Lovely Zonda C12S for sale.

[GransportFan1]

never liked it, saw one when i was 5 and didn't like it but i have nver liked jags including the e type, does nothing for me.

 

[Andyk]

Not a big fan of Jags either Adam...Maybe I will be when I'm 70............

Chris Harris has one now..Saw him in it the other day... A red Coupe with black wheels....

 

[GransportFan1]

yeah seen it in Evo, bloody horrid aint it, a Jag in fire engine red and black wheels yuk.

 

[Andyk]

He doesn't like it that much...

 

[GransportFan1]

Sold his 575 though, wonder if he will buy something to replace it.

 

[Andyk]

Has he..how do you know that....He only had it about 3 months...Saw it at Chris'd about a month ago.

 

[GransportFan1]

Chris says in Evo he has sold his 575, that was a lovely car.

It wasn't when it came out Adam....Jag were making big 4 door cars and an ageing Coupe then at the motorshow the XJ220 was shown...I was there and it blew the crowd and opposition away at the time. Unfortunatly when they came to make it they watered it down and lots got their deposits back.

Watered down is a very kind description... Jaguar would traditionally name their sports cars by their maximum speed and they thought to revive this with the 220 but in reality the few that were delivered would not get close to this. In an echo of the old 150 but with the company crippled and unable to properly develop the car hence the watering down...

orange for me.........zonda has to be loud like lambo.....

Dead right 2b1...It was a true flop for Jag....Had some great reviews but buyers stayed away after being promised so much and then not delivering.

God the man must have to much money burning a big hole in his pocket.

 

[GransportFan1]

how does he make his money, surely cant be that well paid working for a car mag.

 

[Andyk]

You are probabl right...Not a well paid job...must have fingers in another pie as well.

 

[GransportFan1]

Same for Harry Metcalfe, o.k, he owns Evo mag but how does he afford a Zonda and the like.

 

[Andyk]

He's a farmer .... a very rich one...

 

[GransportFan1]

what does he farm, expensive chickens? he has a nice barn/car house thing, got his own workshop with inspection pit.

 

[Andyk]

He farms money I think...

 

[GransportFan1]

that's the answer then, he is selling his lovely Griffith as well, i dont know how he manages to drive all those cars he has, the one car he has and i wish he would update more often is the Elan Sprint.

 

[ENZ525]

Did somebody mention zonda?

I love this view...

 

[GransportFan1]

love them Enz, oh and those exhausts are a work of art. This is my choice, C12S roadster, nice to drive round the gorgeous Italian roads.
