ROUND THE BENDMOTOR CHAOSA RM Sotheby’s spokerson said: “The Veyron 16.4 on offer here is no exception, having been first owned by renowned British media kingpin, Simon Cowell.
“Purchased straight off the Beverly Hills showroom floor in early 2008, Cowell’s Veyron was instantly known to Los Angeles’ glitterati as exploding flash bulbs and gawking crowds seemed to follow at every haughty stop.“During a 2011 appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Cowell detailed his infatuation with the car, saying the Veyron ‘beckoned him’ upon first seeing it and facetiously stating that since he was so regularly chauffeured, he had only driven the car twice.
“Cowell clearly enjoyed his Bugatti more than he was letting on, as he added just over 1,000 miles during his tenure before selling to the Dare to Dream Collection in 2014. “The car has received expert care under the Collection’s decade-long curation and is accompanied by maintenance invoices and copies of documents relating to Cowell’s ownership.
“Sporting both a coveted livery and celebrity provenance, this all-black Veyron will make an exhilarating addition to any serious stable.“Just as with the marque’s offerings a century ago, Bugatti’s Veyron holds near-mythical status in the automotive world.Cowell has a large car collection and is reported to have two dozen vehicles.Cowell also owns two luxury Rolls Royce Phantom - costing about £362,000 each.
