Whilst I agree about the Opel sentiment, the car is still probably rarer on Irish roads than the likes of these common-as-muck Bentleys, etc.!

Good luck to you, I was under the impression you had to be 'invited' to buy one, could be wrong though..

That was at the start i think. Now loads of dealers have them in stock in the uk.Do a search on google and you will see many of them in the uk for sale.

dre, what type of reply is that :rolleyes: ??

I've seen with my own eyes about 14 months ago - there is at least one other black one in Ireland - it was on garage plates hitting the M50 northbound at Naas road junction.

Here's another (or is it the one I seen on garage plates previously) - god they look sh!t without the turbine wheels fitted.

Ciaran Cualfield/Paddy Shovlin/Michael Cullen all had a share in the yellow Enzo. The car was never even registered in Ireland. It was first registered in the UK. The plate was (UK) C17 RAN. The car was sold a few months later by Romans International.

You didn't have to be invited by Bugatti to buy one, not even at the start. All you had to do was get your name in the order book. If you were willing to pay that much for a Veyron, Bugatti took you seriously.

What's all the talk of a mclaren f1 in southern ireland How come no one's ever heard of it until now? Is it irish reg?
