 F1 Tagged Bugatti Veyron Set for MPH Show Appearance
Bugatti Veyron with F1 license plate

Project Kahn owner Afzal Kahn will lend his soft white Bugatti Veyron to the 2009 MPH Show which features Top Gear Live. Already the world's most expensive production supercar, the 407km/h Veyron comes complete with the "F1" license plate, the most expensive in the UK. Bought for £440,625 from the Essex County Council over a year and a half ago. The plate had been owned by that Council since 1904.

Kahn is not selling the car but concedes that if a sale did take place, newly-crowned F1 world champion Jenson Button would be the preferred buyer. However, Button recently put his own Veyron up for £899,995, so perhaps Kahn's strategy isn't so realistic, although it's doubtful that selling the car is the intended outcome for mentioning Button's name.

If the Bugatti is not your thing you can always attend for other exotics like the £1 million GTbyCITROËN or the rumoured Pagani Zonda R. The show runs from 5 to 8 November at Earls Court in London.

 


F1 BUGATTI FOR JENSON BUTTON

The world's most expensive Bugatti Veyron, complete with F1 number plate, will be a star attraction at this year's MPH Show featuring Top Gear Live at London's Earls Court between 5-8 November.

If ever the phrase ‘if you need to ask the price, you can't afford it' was appropriate it's now. But at the right price the car could be up for sale, according to owner Afzal Kahn.

He's hoping his soft white 253mph supercar could be the perfect choice for newly crowned Formula One champion Jenson Button since it features the most expensive number plate sold in the UK.

Capable of catapulting the driver to 100mph in 5.5 seconds this particular 1,010 BHP Bugatti Veyron has no close modern rivals in terms of price tags. But show goers can be sure, if rivals exist, they'll all be at MPH The Prestige and Performance Motor Show.

Already the ultra rare GTbyCITROËN, worth over £1 million, is scheduled to appear at the show alongside fire-breathing examples from Pagani and Koenigsegg. Rumours about the Ferrari FXX, Lamborghini GT600 and Pagani Zonda R making an appearance are also widespread.
