Went to Prescott Hill Climb yesterday for the annual La Vie en Bleu event.
Had not one, but three Veyrons. All the targa Grand Sport versions, and one was the extra powerful Vitesse version too.
I reckon about £4 million of car here...

If anyone's interested the rest of the photos are here. Some better than others!
Prescott
 
We almost went, so nice to see some photos. My father in law's company specialises in restoring historic Bugattis (generally worth a LOT more than the Veyron!), hence the interest.

In the end, the wife decided we should stay home and strip paint off some reclaimed doors we have!

/edit Some great photos in there, thanks for sharing! :)

I hold the same opinion, it's a car I have absolutely no interest in personally. Beyond being fast, I don't see the appeal personally. Even if I had hundreds of millions, I probably wouldn't own one - I have no affinity with it all.
 
I can't remember where I saw it but saw some incarnation and outside footage of one doing the hill climb. It was fantastic and pretty agile for such a big fast car. The driver was giving it a right thrashing and not holding back.
 
I think they are pretty spectacular to be honest. Not just the speed but the overall quality, engineering and sheer effortlessness of it too.
The Vitesse went up the hill several times during the day too.
There are several clips on Youtube of it at Prescott. I think I posted one actually of it last year.

Re price, I did wonder how much some of the classic Bugattis are worth. Especially the T35s and the Type 57 Coupe.
 
I was going to go to that but ended up cycling round it in a big 50 mile loop and got sunburnt instead..
Felt like dropping in for a look but wandering around a car show clad in nappy padded Lycra shorts and clip in shoes isn't my kinda style off the bike ya know.. :o

Well...start with the total price of the three Veyrons you have lined up, then you're in the right sort of ball park (might need another Veyron or two to get a bit closer though)!
