Clickbait title, sorry.
Andy Palmer has just retweeted this pic of a Grand Tour promo using a Vulcan parked poorly outside a London convenience store.

On a more serious note re clamping, I wonder what the tow company view is on removing ultra-expensive cars like these. Obviously they're responsible for any damage at all during removal and storage, and seeing as merely scuffing the wheels with the removal cables/equipment on something like a Vulcan would be crazy money to put right. Add to that any potential geo damage from picking it up awkwardly or a mere mark on the body and all of a sudden the reward of a few hundred quid for removing and storing doesn't seem quite so appealing when you could get hit with a bill for £1000's.

Will be interesting to see how they get that towed away if the owner dosn't pay up quickly.
I'm going to guess it's staged with the Grand Tour logo on it! Big Ry said:

I'm sure it would be a simple "not our problem, shouldn't have been parked their"... plus storage fees.On a more serious note re clamping, I wonder what the tow company view is on removing ultra-expensive cars like these.

Thankfully it's not. The rules and regs means that from the minute they touch/take control of it then they are 100% responsible for it's well-being so to speak. A colleague had her Boxster towed (100% her fault) about 18 months ago and between them taking it and her getting it back (24 hours) the wing mirror got broken. They tried to say it was like it when they got there however the traffic wardens photo of the fine on the windscreen showed otherwise. It then went into a Porsche MD and they settled the bill direct, which I'm sure was far more than they made from the "job"
