Then again, congratulations!
Here in Italy we only have 1 CCX that I know of.

I am a bit surprised that Peter Saywell sold one of his Seggs, but hey... That's better for you!

I must improve my knowledge about 'Seggs: I can say i found the CCXR surprisingly comfortable when i sat inside, good visibility and a clutch/gearbox not as had as you can imagine.
But I know driving it is completely different... How does it exactly feels?

And... Any plans to bring it here in Rome?:p

what are the chances of a super car photoshoot with the respective owners

There should be a CCX in the Piemonte region, and it is owned by a very well known italian supercar collector, who has a HUGE collection of modern supercars as EB110, MC12, Enzo, SLR, Zonda S, Carrera GT, McLaren F1, Cizeta V16T and others.

Are you trying to register all the Koenigseggs?

Sweetness! Complete w/ fire extinguisher, I see.

Is there a panel missing from the roof storage compartment under the hood ('bonnet')?

Great CCR! Congratulations again!!!
The colour is really cool!

But not the "sickest" one that I've ever seen on a Segg... Anyway BIG KUDOS to you!!! This confirms me the incredible "supercar culture" in the UK: I am not surprised though, since it is the best european market for another hypercar maker...

Gustav, ever saw pics of a "violet bare carbonfiber" CCX from the Vaudois canton in Switzerland?
