Not seen one in the flesh*, but they do strike me as remarkably ugly. I know that Morgans, and Aero S1s particularly, are a bit of a Marmite car but the Veyron is something else.
A mechanical marvel it may be, but that snout....
(*though we have one in the area apparently - given to a teenager at college by his doting father :-O )

Wonder what the servicing costs are??  Looking forward to watching a few at the next Prescott Hill Climb Meeting: La Vie en Bleu, 23/24 May. Cheers,

When we arrived at the hotel to book in for the Morgan Dinner on Saturday night, I parked on the double-yellow lines by the entrance. The top-hatted doorman walked towards me and I excused my parking, by saying that we were just off-loading our luggage and that when finished I would put it in the car park. Absolutely not he said, please park it there. We like to have cars like that parked outside as it enhances the image of the hotel. He then became conspiratorial saying, "We had a Bugatti Veyron parked there last weekend, but I much prefer the Morgan and its British."  He allowed another Aero 8 to park outside too and thus BUL 5 did not have his usual pride of place at the hotel that weekend.

We then parked behind aeroman and boshly, and just to add to the status of the Bug on the otherside of the entrance they allowed a 1 series BMW to park behind it  If I had several £100k to spare I don't think I would be buying one, jusr doesn't rock my boat.
