2007 Bugatti Veyron 16.4

The Veyron 16.4 needs little introduction: an 8.0-litre quad-turbocharged W16 producing 1,001 PS, a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive, built to give the world its first 250 mph road car. This UK-supplied 2007 example is finished in Graphite Metallic over Sterling Metallic, a restrained pairing that lets the car's proportions do the talking, with an Anthracite Grey leather interior.

At 9,000 miles it has been used sparingly for a Veyron of its age, which matters given how much of the car's ownership experience revolves around its mechanical condition and maintenance history. Notable inclusions are full paint protection film, Burmester audio, automatic climate control and comfort seats, a combination that makes it more usable than the raw numbers suggest.

The Veyron remains the benchmark for the modern hypercar era, and early UK right-hand-drive cars like this one are increasingly sought after as the model's place in automotive history becomes settled.
