Who would like to see a Mercedes-powered Sports Car?

The same day we picked up our Mercs, the place had this little darling in their workshop - a Pagani Zonda C12S Roadster.

Chatting with the workshop manager, it belongs to a customer from London who has "lots of cars", as it was put to me. This car they have in storage, the owner hardly using it - this was apparant as the current tax disc ran out in May last year!
Because of it's lack of use, the gearbox sprung a leak, so they were repairing it - hence the gearbox is missing and the rear clam is removed.

The wheels had some curbing, and a nasty chunk grazed out from one of the carbon fibre sills.
But it looked absolutely stunning in its yellow paintwork.

It's the first Zonda I've ever seen, so I had to take a few photos.
Being Mercedes-related, I thought I'd share them with you all

Unfortunately, it seems as though I must have been so excited, I forgot the take a side section phto

Enjoy!

Awesome!

The guy who used to live across the road from me used to have a C12S Roadster in blue, very rarely used it but took me out in it once... so quick and the sound it made was just incredible. I've heard he sacked it off for an F Roadster though - alright for some! lol

That wouldn't be one of the Hartleys, per chance?
I've seen the odd post of his cars on PistonHeads. Last I saw he had an SLR McLaren

Great photos with rear clam removed.

A few years ago I used to see this regularly:
