Ferrari damage - what has he hit??

[lordlee]

Just saw this on ebay and it made me wonder what the hell this guy hit to do so much damage!! I take it he wasnt insured as its unrecorded. Ouch.

Parking bollard? No damage above waist height, so not a lamp post...

It's either been hit by something else, or the drivers spun it and hit something solid, like a lamp post or a low brick wall . . . .either way, given the location of the main chassis tubes on a 328, its going to require quite a bit of work geting it safely back onto the road

£20k - Good luck with that. Isn't a good 328 not a whole lot more that?

Seem to start at £35k. I'd still think £20k is on the optimistic side though.

[FranKinFezza]

An enterprising soul could probably make some profit on that breaking it.

Around £35-37 for a conkers car, nice drivers are selling for somewhere in the region of £30k at the moment . . . . . with plenty being offered for £40ish, but very few selling for that

Simple top of the head estimate to put this car back on the road was £15k, based on decent work and new parts . . . . . . . . if you can find them, the vitaloni electric mirror missing from the drivers side for example, is a bit of a bugger at times to get hold of, sold my last new old stock one a few months ago for £300 and the old one in exchange.

A fat midget.

[CampDavid]

Wow, they're getting up there.

Still-£20k or more to sort that out properly I'd guess

Chassis looks to be comprehensively bent on that, looking at the panel gaps on the off side, and the wheels look out of kilter too.

I would have thought that would not be economical to repair to anything like a decent standard. Obviously the repair is do-able, but I cant ever see it being worthwhile when the car is probably worth a significant amount in bits.

Looks like it slid sideways into a small tree, which bent back on impact.
