Ferrari 456 GT crashed in Finland

[Vanqquish]

Hi

Back in June a 456 was crashed on a dual carriageway in Finland. The story went so that a guy borrowed his friends 456 GT, which was imported only a couple months before, hit the median and then slid to concrete wall. Both driver and passenger were taken to hospital but were okay, I believe.

A week ago or so the wrecked 456 appeared in a salvage yard. The price being around 14k€ do you think it will be a good deal for someone who has all the equipements and skills to renovate it?
It's categorized under conditional repair so it will need some measurements and controls before and after repair, and knowing the finnish system it won't be easy deal.


Here are some pictures of the 456;

Very much doubt it will be worth while repairing that. The repair bill will almost certainly be higher than the end value. Best to sell in parts, especially if the engine is intact?

Exactly what I was thinking, better to sell it in parts. The engine seemed to be just fine. You can see it from the clip that the front wasn't that seriously damaged. The right-front wheel was off and front bumper was a bit scratchy but the engine did look it was okay, couldn't really get a full look because the hood didn't want to open..

Definitely a breaker.

Not worth repairing. I've had damage to my 550 which was not even 1/10 of this. Repair cost came to 22k Euro, and I didn't have any structural damage to chassis nor to suspension. I'd say this car would take 100k to repair, minimum.
