Is there a panel missing from the roof storage compartment under the hood ('bonnet')?
Well spotted. Yes I took it off while checking out something. It is back in now.

Very nice!

A Koenigsegg register would be great, we should start one here!

Are you trying to register all the Koenigseggs?

Wow, Shoebag, that is some GREAT pictures! Many thanks!

The Koenigsegg looks really compact and low there, sporty!

Of course I have...!


I will soon add other pics I made during the Top Marques 2008.
So... If you want to start it... The CCXR Edition shown at Geneva 2008 and TM 2008 has chassis #52.

Shoebag: wonderful woman next to a wonderful piece of machinery! A perfect combo if I can say that!

Nice new pics!! the car is indeed very very low.. I guess its hard to understand how low the supercars are when they are in a pic with nothing to compare. now with the mini and Shoebag it shows how unbelievable low and small it is. Thank you!

There's also to say that Shoebag seems to be pretty tall!

Yes.
Owner took inspiration from a car he already has.
And what a machine! His car has been used to establish the new Nurburgring Record for standard production cars in september 25th, 2007.

Anyway... Some Top Marques 2008 pictures by me.
I can say Koenigsegg guys were so kind with me: they literally let me play with the CCXR, allowed me to open the rear hood, sit inside, watch, explore, touch the car in any way I wanted!
I plan to visit Angelholm soon... Gustav and Shoebag, any recommendations and/or advices from you two, since you both are really expert on Koenigsegg & beyond?

Here for you!
