Having just spent nigh on £2000 getting the car sorted only 1 month after having bought it, and suffering a belt shred itself on Monday night causing me to leave the car at a friends workshop carpark....some malcious, underendowed, pondscum fktard has vandalised Betty. It's time to leave the country.

Holy crap, that is nasty! never seen a 'keying' as bad as that! I honestly don't know how people can key cars, I honestly couldn't ever bring myself to do such a thing to a car.

Hope you get it sorted ok - somehow

Jesus, he did a right job on it mate, sorry to see that, would hate to think what it would be like to find that done to my car. I hope the that did it suffers something seriously painful soon.

Why isn't it possible to have nice things these days without somone wanting to fk it up for you frown anyway hope you get it sorted.

Oh and please do report it to the police, the more this type of thing goes unreported the more they get away with it.

Try to find a way to get it sorted and do not let them put you off. May sound strange but once it is back to A1 you will have bonded with the car even more.
Happened to me many many years ago with my Healey and I still have it!!

Btw, your car has the best colour scheme - Avus Blue/Magnolia, exactly the same as mine :-)

That is not nice, feel for you dude. Little fkers need stringing up and left to rot.

Trying to be positive here. But it looks like it's only paint work damage, albeit rather bad, they could have slashed the rear screen, damaged inside etc, which would have been terrible.
The bootlid itself does not look compromised, so a lick of paint and it will be back to as it were before.
Understand you are more than upset though. I'd be ready to commit murder.
Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks for all your comments.

I can't believe it TBH.

What's worse is that I can't afford to fix it following last week's cam change, so it'll have to stay like that for a while.

Absolutely gutted....suffice to say, if I'd seen them do it, I would be sat in a cell down the local nick.

yikes ..... Jesus that's horrible.
My sympathy, seeing those pictures gave me a horrible sinking feeling in my stomach I can't imagine how you felt when you saw it. Mindless, I agree with the sentiment of agreeing with some of the punishments that would be dealt out in Saudi or similar for something like that.
