Driving home last night about 20.00 pm southbound M40 J5, I got overtaken by a white/black Veyron ( Reg was BUR 5) , dropped the window as he went pass & he booted it, sounded absolutely glorious :eek: :D
I've heard that only 10 came to the UK, one is back @ the factory for repairs probably a write off :eek:(The one that Mark trailored) so only 8 others left to find !
Sorry no pics, he was a little quick for me ! LOL ;)
Also, if you go to the AP racing factory reception (Coventry) - you can see the actual front brake setup of one of the production models they built & fitted AP 8 Pot racing ceramic's front BBK's :eek: They are absolutely massive !!
I took some pictures whilst I was there & security caught me, promptly made me delete them & took the camera off me while I had my car's BBK checked out :mad:

The reg would've been BUL 5...

Not sure who owns it though...

There is a thread on pistonheads where they try to account for all 12 in the country.

My mate rung me up last night to tell me he had just been overtaken by that Bugatti as well. Said it went passed him at a fair rate :D .

I'm sure there are more than 10 in the country. I know romans international have had a few for sale, these might have been imports though, all the same there registered as UK cars.

Why ?

It's was an original plate in the old black & silver trim with no other numbers after the 5 !
I know it was going fast, but I am sure that's what it was

RAC vehicle check doesn't have BUR 5 but it does have BUL 5, doesn't say the make or model, but it was made in 2007 and had a 8l (7993cc) engine.

Safe to say it's the Veyron.

Romans had a black on black one with red stitching, looked amazing!

I've seen a Veyron do the rounds here a few times, recently. Foreign plates, though. Every time I've seen it, it's been dead quiet, i.e.: not booting it, at all.
