Stewart and his team had a target of just 300 cars and 250 have moved already. How difficult was moving those 250 cars?
"Well, times were better and we even had repeat buyers," says Stewart. Wait a minute, there are people who buy more than one Veyron?
"You will be surprised. Some are collectors who want both the coupe and the Grand Sport in their garage."
Stewart points at the convertible on display in the Bugatti pavilion at the ongoing Geneva Motor Show, which, incidentally, features a top that folds down just like an umbrella. A square umbrella.
Does he get affected by the negative news pouring out of television and pink papers daily?
"Yes I do, but I do know that there are always enough people with enough money."
So how does he operate? "We follow leads." Does that mean he has to hard-sell the sixteen-cylinder 7,993 cc mother of all supercars? "We do have to find the buyers, yes."
