Harry has been very vocal about his Zonda over the years and you can read a blow by blow account on the EVO web site. As for talking up the prices I think you will find that was all down to Mr Pagani after he realised that his cars were selling for more second hand than they were new. Strange but true.

As you can imagine he was not happy about losing so much money so he put the prices up to what he thought the market would be willing to pay. Even Harry Metcalf has been shocked by the current pricing structure and has said so in print.

The new Zonda HH for example for example apart from the carbon titanium chassis is near enough exactly the same as a bog standard Zonda F clubsport. 2 -3 years ago that would have cost you £550K - £650K. The HH will be at least double that now.

Just an update on Simon George's 2004 Murcielago. It has now covered 201000 miles which must surely make it the highest mileage Murcielago ever. He rckons its covered over 80000 miles on trackdays alone, the equivalent to 30 Le Mans 24 hour races!

Recent costs have included £2500 for an interior retrim.

respect! over 200.000 miles in a supercar!

I've seen a Carrera GT with almost 100k miles, thought that was the most hardcore thing I've ever seen! Not sure if this record beats that..

Any car covering 200000 miles is pretty good, an Italian supercar that has done approx 80000 miles on track as well as 120000 on the road is pretty amazing. I think Simon deserves a great deal of respect for actually using his car and proving that you can actually "use" a supercar and not treat it like a valuable ornament and keep it locked away.

The fact that he's also running an LP640 and Aston DBS as part of his trackday driving experience company is awesome. The man is a God.
