Was trundling through Chelsea in my classic 500 and came upon this rather gruesome sight this afternoon.

Cottage industry GRP machines are no match for a hybrid Euro5 PC bland box.

Another one bites the dust.... (At least it has been spared the ignomy of ending up in Germany should it have been posted for sale judging by the rows of late RHD German registered TVR's I saw at the Oldtimer Nurburgring bash I visited in '14)

Ho hum

"Hopefully no passenger"

Based on the damage, that looks to me like the passenger door of the TVR was open and that and the Prius collided. Whode fault it was clearly can't be worked out with this little bit of detail.

Thread already running in the TVR forums, but in a nutshell the Prius T-boned the Sag.

The door wasn't open. It has been smashed heavily in to the passenger compartment.

As in T boned I will assume.

Hopefully just the driver in this TVR as the N/S intrusion is scary.

Not as bad as it looks, as they say. Fibreglass damage always looks terrible but it's eminently fixable.

A sad sight!

The Prius driver was most likely distracted by all the crap they have hanging from their rear view mirror.....

I wonder if there might have been something hanging off the rear view mirror that could have distracted Prius driver, anyone think the same?
