Tycoon sues £3.4m supercar seller, saying he can’t use it

A PROPERTY tycoon who splashed out £3.4million on a supercar is suing the dealer, claiming he has been unable to drive it as he was never given the correct documents.

Tufan Kalman purchased the Pagani Zonda 760 coupé – one of only a handful of the custom-built Italian sports cars ever built – in February last year.

But he claims the supercar “cannot be used” because Pagani UK Ltd, the London-based dealership, failed to provide him with UK registration documents, meaning he could not register it in Switzerland, where he lives. The Turkish-born multi-millionaire has lodged a writ against the dealer demanding a full refund plus interest.

“To date Pagani UK Ltd has neither delivered the registration documents nor repaid the purchase price,” he argued, adding that the dealership offered a refund “if they did not deliver the original UK documents by the end of September 2017”.

A spokesman for the dealership, which said it had instructed lawyers, said: “We do know about it. Nothing is anywhere near as black and white as it looks on paper. We did supply Mr Kalman a Pagani Zonda, which he accepted delivery of and he had it shipped overseas. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the other matter.”
